WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI The chairman of Washtenaw Countys Board of Commissioners has sent a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to cancel his Thursday visit to the county.
In his letter, Jason Morgan said hes concerned Trumps May 20 visit will put Washtenaw County residents at risk for further exposure to COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
I respect the Office of the President and generally welcome the opportunity for you to learn about the needs of our community; however, I firmly believe that your recent inaccurate statements and actions cause greater uncertainty, division and harm to our residents, Morgans letter states.

Notify the people there will be a traffic jam.

(2,412 posts)This kind of push back is what we need. We should no longer allow him to use others as props for his campaign. This is just a great example of how to put a stop to his antics. Also I am still turning of the cable TV news when he is on.

Nice backhand, excellent follow through. I hope this starts a trend!

(2,698 posts)This could be a trend. I hope it is. Trump dissed Michigan and its Governor, and threatened to withhold Federal aid for victims of the recent horrendous floods there. Trump called Baltimore a rat-infested shithole.
Every locale, every city, state, country, and family who this pseudo-president has insulted should join in the refusal-parade by identifying him as persona-non-grata.
