President Donald Trump complimented Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) Wednesday at the White House, despite criticizing the possible 2028 Democratic presidential candidate on multiple occasions over the years.
Whitmer was in the Oval Office for the president’s executive order signing ceremony Wednesday afternoon. She met with the president earlier in the day after delivering a speech in Washington, D.C., where she both criticized Trump’s sweeping tariff agenda and vowed to work with the White House on reinvigorating American manufacturing.
“We’re honored to have Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, great State of Michigan,” Trump said at the top of the White House ceremony.
“She’s really done an excellent job. Very good person,” he continued, noting that the meeting focused primarily on keeping Michigan’s Selfridge Air National Guard Base open.
