Whitmer Says Keep Trump Away From Her National Guard
Things in D.C. are getting weird, and Michigan’s governor is drawing a very clear line in the sand.
Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer (female) sent her National Guard troops to the capital for the upcoming America 250 celebrations. But she’s already put out a warning: if those troops get roped into any of Donald Trump’s (male) specific task forces, they’re coming home immediately.
It’s a classic case of "you can have my help, but not for your pet projects." The troops were sent to keep order during a major national event, not to act as a personal police force for a president’s agenda. Whitmer is essentially telling the White House that state resources aren't just toys to be played with whenever a new executive whim pops up.
State governors playing tug-of-war with federal authority is usually the stuff of history books, not current events. Apparently, federalism is just a suggestion until someone decides to pull their toys out of the sandbox.
