Trump is "no longer welcomed in Michigan"
Michigan's attorney general, Dana Nessel, pre-warned Trump in writing to make sure to wear a mask when visiting any Michigan factory, specifying that it was a legal requirement and also his moral obligation to protect factory workers.In Trump's defense, he wore a mask and goggles during most of the tour.
However, in violation of Michigan law, he took off that equipment before being questioned by reporters,
while still at that factory, because he "didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing him in a mask". Meanwhile all the factory executives wore such masks.
So, the AG ruled, that he is no longer welcomed back into Michigan.
She say that it's obvious, that "Trump doesn't care about anyone, other than himself".
"It's disappointing" and she "is embarrassed to have him as president".

I'm sure she had a good excuse.
Talking to reporters, maybe.
I think Michigan and its auto industry is due for a thank you.
h - she was 'zooming' from her office. Trump was endangered the laborers and others at the factory against the law.
The two main ways that the virus spreads are through coughs & sneezes.
If the person coughs and/or sneezes is wearing a mask, it helps keeps the range of particle spray
down. Most of it gets stopped by the mask.
Then the next time about half the people wore them. This month the stores all have big signs saying, don't come in unless you are wearing a mask.
It wasn't just her, the media asks questions that put people in defense mode. They could have ask anything and they chose to be petty, like always.
Lets say for instance, that your life is hanging on by the ability a machine to help you breathe. Would you really trust your life with a Trump product ?
Think Trump University, Trump Wines, Trump Casinos, Trump Steaks.
Except for money laundering with properties and illegally getting loans by faking his (lack of) wealth, and fooling voters, he has never actually produced a good product.
Have you paid any attention to the people he hires ? The main qualifications for employment have been agreeing with Trump and the ability to hide crimes, and/or make up excuses for them.
You really want the illegal aliens at Mar A Lago making your ventilator ?
I think Ford & GM have better engineers and understand electronics a lot better.
Don't get me wrong, there may be the occasional recall, but in general their products last
many years.
As far as in the beginning, there was a limited amount of masks available.
Our stupid president did nothing to acquire the necessary supplies.
Thus, originally, they wanted to reserve the masks for the healthcare workers
and first responders. Then, when everyone started making the masks, then
it was urged that EVERYONE wear them and that's where we have been for over a month.
Trump just doesn't want the news to show him in a mask, as he 'thinks' it makes
him look weak. In reality his lack of confidence in wearing a mask makes him look weak, uncaring, and stupid.
We also emit droplets when we speak, the louder we speak, the further droplets travel.
He said he wore it on the shop floor, but he was still inside the factory when he was talking to the press. In Michigan it is a legal requirement to wear a mask in an enclosed public space, so this is yet another example where Trump thinks he's above the law.
I understand he tested negative in the morning, but did anyone send a memo to the virus to not infect him between the test and the press meeting?
I have heard worst.
Election is coming up, let's see what the voters will do this this petulant child.
What might be the consequences of a leader being above the law?
After more than 3 years in office, it's Obama's fault.
It amazes me, the amount of lies Trump's press secretaries are willing to propogate.
I suppose they all think, that working for the president will look great on their resume.
Yeah sure. That is until the interviewer asks "which president".
After which, the interviewer will stop listening, look at their watch, make an excuse about an important meeting that is coming up and say, "we'll call you". Then, after the interviewee left, announce, "next".
and he does seem to be exactly that.
It only seems that way, because Republicans (except for Romney) in Congress thus far have protected him from justice.
After his term is up, he will have lots of charges to answer for with much testimony in courts.
What might be the consequences of a leader being above the law?
If the Michigan edict to wear masks in enclosed public places is demonstrably legitimate, but despite being informed of his legal obligation Trump refused, then it might be argued that the infringement was Trump's alone.
If there is evidence that Ford reneged on their responsibility to inform Trump that wearing a mask in an enclosed public setting is a legal requirement then the company may be liable.
Of course, that doesn't absolve Trump of personal responsibility. As President of the United States he should know and follow the laws in each state he visits, especially in times of national emergency.
If Winston Churchill had driven round a munitions factory during a night time air raid with his headlights on it probably would have altered the course of history. Maybe bigly.
Regardless, if it was on YOUR blog, I wouldn't have answered it.
I felt it was important, that there was no doubt on mine.
DUMP TRUMP IN NOVEMBER
Either way, the choice will be much better than deadwood Pence.
