Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for August 25, 2025.
Dear Leader Trump forgot Governor Gretchen Whitmer's name today. And while it serves as a reminder of Trump's obvious mental decline, let it serve as a reminder to Governor Whitmer that for all of her graveling to Dear Leader this year, he's hurting Michigan's working class in both urban and rural areas... let alone forgetting who she is.
Whether it's health care, worker rights, environmental and economic security, the taking over of the free marketplace, and also immigration, The Trump Regime's policies--aided and abetted by MAGA Republicans in Congress, are leading to dire consequences to every working class Michigander.
My only question is does Gov. Whitmer understand that reality yet?
