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

It was The Atlantic, but +100.

"Michigan governor did something dumb after our degenerate of a President ambushed her." I don't care.

She was there to lobby for her state and got sucked into the signing of an EO. Perfectly her right to not wish to be photographed doing that as it implies she may have supported it. Printing this photo was childish and irresponsible. And definitely smacks of being harder on Dems than republicans.

Her “right” not to be photographed? She is public official in a public building on official public business.

You also have a right to learn to read. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

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.

Well, those are the kinds of articles NYT likes. Instead of reporting actual news, they used a circular narrative re Biden’s age, and never suggested that Trumps age was a problem, a Penn study found.

Is the NYT reporting on this fact, pp? That Trump didn’t even know about the invasion? If not, everyone needs to ask why they’re still supporting them and if you are, ask them why they’re are treating a Michigan woman politician worse than the men ruining the country?

Californian here. What insanity is this? Please explain.

Listen to his podcast. Listen to how he thinks it’s cute his son idolizes Charlie Kirk.

OMG you are crazy and I say that as a deep blue Californian who doesn’t even like Newsom.

What dumb thing did she do?

Did she tank the stock market and then brag about the dead cat bounce?

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.

"86 45"

Jesus Christ, how stupid and out of touch are you people?

Men will literally craft insane conspiracy theories instead of looking at a dictionary to learn what a word means.

Oh bull. She was there to request fed pork she seeks to swing to her mega donors and Democrat machine bosses.

I agree with you! I did enjoy the NYT but canceled my subscription months ago.

Looks like she was hiding a sudden sneeze. What's the big deal? Pollen is super high in DC right now.

I always thought she was attractive.

Thank you for this. I KNEW it, but I hadn't seen it so plainly in the numbers. I am furious at the NYT and would like to end my subscription, but I haven't figured out what is better. Any suggestions?

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.

This is just as bad as Trump deporting people without due process and refusing to comply with court orders. Just like Trump, Whitmer is done. DONE!

She looks so much like Caitlyn Jenner it is scary.

Yes, I canceled. I’m enjoying Apple News. You get TONS of subscriptions. I like political coverage from Wired, Rolling Stone and longer form from The Atlantic. I also think WSJ political reporting is good, but their opinions are cray cray, though sometimes their editorial board is surprising.

I also recommend the 1440 digest, which is free. It gives you all the important news, and will sometimes do bigger breakdowns or political topics.

Here’s the list of publications in Apple News: https://www.apple.com/apple-news/publications/
