(201 posts)He'll just hold his breath until he gets his way, or some such shit. Two dams down in mid Michigan today and he rage tweets about mailing out absentee ballot applications. Not a word about the dams.
I am running out of adjectives to describe the orange shit gibbon, his enablers and supporters.... vile, subhuman, depraved, repugnant, noxious.... I'm surrounded by them at work and feel I am losing my mind at times.

My guess is he'll just call off the visit in a snit and tweet about how abused he is by them.

(50,567 posts)Seriously though, it would not surprise me if they positioned a MUA in a mens room in the plant lobby...after the tour he will just need to go to the Little Presidents Room where someone will repair that cheap crap he wears before he steps outside.
FFS, the son of a bitch makes $3 million a year being president. Anyone but Trump would have the common decency to quit wearing dollar store-quality makeup on national television.

(36,903 posts)Michigan's attorney general said Wednesday that President Donald Trump has a "legal responsibility" under state law to wear a mask as a coronavirus precaution when he visits a Ford Motor Co. factory Thursday.
In an open letter to Trump, who so far has refused to wear a mask, Attorney General Dana Nessel wrote, "I ask that while you are on tour you respect the great efforts of the men and women at Ford and across this state by wearing a facial covering."
Ford, whose Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti is set to host Trump on Thursday, has a policy of requring masks there. The company said it has informed the White House about that policy.
But Ford also said Tuesday, "The White House has its own safety and testing policies in place and will make its own determination" about whether Trump and his party will wear masks during the visit.

(21,974 posts)Obviously he wont be arrested and nothing will happen to him if he doesnt wear a mask. And Im sure he wasnt going to wear one anyway. But now hell make a point not to wear one, and try to use this to rile up his I have the freedumb to not wear a mask!!!11 supporters.
Meanwhile the MAJORITY who support sensible guidelines and mask policies will see Trump proudly breaking the rules that everyone else has to follow and deliberately putting people in danger.
Please proceed, Donald.

(6,407 posts)...isn't this a simple question of states rights. Michigan has the right to make and enforce any law that does not tread on federal rights specifically enumerated in the Constitution ? OK...freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom from unlawful search...I get it. But where does it say "freedom from mask".
This should be fun. Of course he'll go and, just like any bully, he'll stand there and sneer "make me".
What an asshat.

(7,526 posts)If Michigan really wanted to push the issue they would just have the district attorney issue a citation after the fact. There is actually precedent for this, Ulyses S. Grant paid a fine for speeding with his horse drawn carriage as President, and Franklin pierce paid a fine when his horse trampled a woman.
If Trump wanted to start a shit show, he could ignore the citation and let Michigan issue a bench warrant. I imagine the Secret Service would not act on that until they received an order from a federal court though, and those court proceedings would probably be a can of worms.

(15,557 posts)but didn't I just hear on my local (Michigan) news that a Ford plant that had just reopened on Monday had to shut down again because two employees tested positive?
I may have got some of that wrong since I was making dinner while trying to hear the TV in the other room.
Or maybe that's going to be the reason they shut the door when the Orange One comes a calling without a mask.

(34,485 posts)That thing has insulted our Governor (strong Democratic woman), our Secretary of State (strong Democratic woman) so let's see him go for the trifecta. Bonus points if he insults the Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court (also a strong Democratic woman)
