'Impressed you know my name': Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is taking on Trump over coronavi
Ahead of President Donald Trump's trip to a Ford Motor plant in Ypsilanti on Thursday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wrote him a letter outlining the rules for visiting her state: Masks are required.
Nessel has spent the spring attempting to enforce the executive orders issued by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, which included one of the nation's strictest lockdown decrees as well as the order mandating face coverings in public. Watching the disease ravage her community, she said in an interview, has been scary.
“At a certain point, my Facebook feed started to resemble the obituary section of a newspaper,” the Democrat told NBC News.
Trump, who has consistently flouted his own government's recommendation that face coverings be worn in public settings, wore a mask for the private portion of his Ford tour but took it off for the public event in front of cameras, despite the Ford facility's own mask requirement.
Frustrated, Nessel did something that caught the president's attention: She compared him to "a petulant child who refuses to follow the rules" on CNN.
Trump responded by trashing her in a pair of tweets, calling her the "Wacky Do Nothing Attorney General of Michigan, Dana Nessel" — to which she responded, in part, that she was "impressed" he knew her name, a nod to Trump's habit of bashing Whitmer as "that woman from Michigan" and his attack on Michigan's elections chief, Jocelyn Benson,as an unnamed "rogue Secretary of State."
“I was infuriated and exasperated, because I know that for every person who goes into a place of business where they’re told to wear a mask, and they see the president not wearing one, their reaction is going to be, 'The president of the United States doesn’t have to wear one. Why should I?'” she said Friday of Trump's Ford visit. “This isn’t funny, these are people's lives.”

come back and smack IQ45 in the face (had to think about how I wanted to phrase that 
) for being such a "moran!"
I wish we could see a more concerted effort from those in the press corp - that is where he tends to exhibit his worst behaviors (well, the ones we see in public anyway - guess we're gonna' have to wait a while for Melania's book 
).
But, until then, WAY TO GO, AG NESSEL!!!
