These Women Leaders Are Turning Michigan From A 2020 Battleground Into Trump’s Worst Nightmare
Seth Cohen


On Tuesday, President Trump visited a Ford plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan and the headlines are all about whether or not he wore a mask. But what was really revealed during Trump’s visit to the Wolverine state is just how much three of its top leaders, all of whom are women, are unnerving the President of United States and turning the 2020 political battleground into his personal nightmare.

For a President who has a well-known reputation for lobbing insults at women leaders, including his 2016 election rival Hillary Clinton, Trump may have finally met his match as he confronts not one, but three, strong Democratic women leaders who aren’t shy about confronting him. In doing so, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, are not only getting under the President’s skin, but they are getting the best of him as well.

The fact that Michigan has three strong women officials who are not only willing to stand up to the President, but also to do so relentlessly, should make us all a bit more optimistic that nobody, especially women leaders, will take our present challenges, and our President, sitting down.

And that is President Trump’s worst nightmare.

He's scared shitless of these three women. They aren't the least bit intimidated by his childish behavior.

Women outnumber men, we just gotta vote! Dirty Don is losing big-time among suburban women and if we can flip the House in 2018, we can boot him in 2020!

She is a one-woman clinic in handling Baby Donald.

And like all bullies, he is really afraid when his intended victims turn on him with undeniable strength.
