Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s viral White House photo: serendipitous or The NY Times ending her career in politics?

Whitmer leaves the governor's office next year. She's a lame duck nobody is going to remember in 2027-28. This was clearly a sanctioned hit by party elites. The Times would never, ever publish such an career-ending photo of Shapiro.

Omg people. This is why we can't have nice things.

Politics really is a reality show for so many people and that's why we have who we have in the White House. Smh.

Oh don’t be ridiculous. This isn’t remotely career ending.

Why people ever listen to Olbermann is beyond me.

Nobody cares. She's doing her job and MI's got some major problems on its hands with this trade war.

I always thought Idiocracy was a dumbass movie but now we know it is the most prescient movie ever made.

They are desperate to distract from the fact that not only did Trump's people accidently include a reporter in their military planning ON SIGNAL, but Trump appears not to have been involved in the planning at all. It's actually embarrassing to TRUMP if Biden was in fact severely cognitively impaired as president because he was still worlds better than this dumpster fire.

But sure let's talk about a couple of photos of Whitmer in which she is neither sharing war plans with reporters nor screwing prostitutes. This is sounds like a super important discussion to have.

She thought begging Trump for pork for her top donors and Democrat political machines could be done in secret and off the record? That’s a bit naive.


No, she didn’t know they’d make her attend an EO signing unrelated to her visit.


I'm sure there are photos of Whitmer at signings with staunch GOP members of the Michigan legislature over the years. It's really not that big of a deal.

She really thought Trump was going to secretly meet with her one on one and hand her a big bag of gov loot for all of her Democrat machine crony graft pits in Michigan? The same governor who featured an "86 45" joke on national news appearances and Meet the Press. 86 is old gang slang for take out; get rid of, kill. Trump doesn't seem like a man who forgets such dangerous rhetoric and "jokes."

She doesn't give a darn about Michigan, she tries to spend as little time as possible in the state. Her husband retired and sold his dental practice, they don't even own a house in Michigan unless you count a seasonal cottage, her rich old man is in Florida, husband's adult kids all live outside of Michigan, and her own adult kids are imminently departing the state. She is just a lame duck trying to secure a billions in Trump bucks for her mega donors and political machine bosses to loot on her way out the door. So she can leave office with a "win" and all the donors she funnels the loot to will give her a fat war chest to run for POTUS.

So you think The NY Times was given a head’s up and suspected she’d react in such a way? Her just standing there and getting photographed wouldn’t have gone viral. Her spontaneous childish reaction made this go viral. NY Times is the only pool photographed (out of a dozen?) that got the folder money shot? The whole thing is weird. And it wasn’t the only bad photo. And even friendly in-state outlets helped it go viral. Almost like this had some big coordination behind it to harm her politically — not just as a POTUS candidate but even a VP candidate in 2028.






OMG - IT’S MALEFICENT!

Exactly my thoughts! What has happened to her face?

She was there to get funding to eradicate an invasive fish that is taking over the Great Lakes. Neither Obama nor Biden would give her funding for this.

I’m sure Mr. I Love the Environment is going to give it to her. I mean he’s funding so much cancer research, improving the educational outcomes of impoverished children, strengthening the unions, and providing additional health services for veterans. He’s the most generous president of all time! It all goes back to his first term when he threw paper towels to needy Americans!
