Trump’s Astonishing Praise for Whitmer Sparks Outrage and Confusion Among MAGA Fans
When it comes to consistency, Donald Trump is as reliable as a weather forecast in Michigan. Just a few years ago, Trump referred to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as “that woman from Michigan” in a less-than-flattering tone. Fast forward to April 2025, and Trump is now singing Big Gretch’s praises during an Oval Office meeting. Let’s dive into this rollercoaster relationship and the reactions it has sparked.
The Past: “That Woman from Michigan”
Back in the early days of the pandemic, Trump famously (or infamously) referred to Whitmer as “that woman from Michigan.” It was a dismissive and somewhat condescending remark that highlighted the tension between the two leaders. Whitmer, a Democrat, was often at odds with Trump’s handling of the pandemic, leading to a series of public spats.

The Present: “She’s Really Been Doing an Excellent Job”
Fast forward to April 2025, and the scene in the Oval Office couldn’t be more different. Trump, with a grin that he normall reserves for cheeseburgers, praised Whitmer as “a very good person” who has been “doing an excellent job.” This sudden change of heart left many scratching their heads and wondering if they had stepped into an alternate reality. (We definitely are in one.)

The Reaction: Right-Wing Whiplash
The right-wing media and Trump’s staunch supporters were left in a state of confusion. How could their champion, who once derided Whitmer, now be praising her? The cognitive dissonance was palpable. Some tried to spin it as a strategic move, while others were simply baffled. Here are some specific reactions:
- Fox News Commentator: “Wait, is this the same Trump who called her ‘that woman from Michigan’? What kind of parallel universe did we wake up in today?”
- Breitbart Article: “Trump’s praise for Whitmer has left many of his supporters scratching their heads. Is this a new strategy or just another unpredictable move?”
- Right-Wing Twitter: “Trump praising Whitmer? Next he’ll be endorsing Bernie Sanders. What is going on?! #Confused”

The Humor: Trump’s Inconsistency
Trump’s inconsistency is nothing new, but this episode takes the cake. One minute he’s calling her “that woman,” and the next, he’s lauding her achievements. It’s like watching a soap opera where the villain suddenly becomes the hero without any explanation. The only thing consistent about Trump is his inconsistency.

The Truth: An Unpredictable Saga
In the end, Trump’s relationship with Whitmer is a microcosm of his entire political career—unpredictable, baffling, and often amusing. Whether this newfound praise will last or if Trump will revert to his old ways remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure: with Trump, expect the unexpected.
