President Trump was in Michigan Thursday to tour a Ford plant, and he did so without wearing a mask, breaking both state and Ford policy (though he did show off a mask to the press that he says he wore outside of their view).
Which one is president? Pres Trump and Ford officials pose for photo in front of ventilators made at Ford. (Hint: Trump's the one not wearing a mask. Said he wore one earlier, deliberately out of sight of press.) pic.twitter.com/3d1slRCdoP

CNN needed to find someone to articulate their outrage at the president for not wearing a mask, and they struck gold with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who said that the president is no longer welcome in the state and called him a petulant child for not wearing the mask. She also said she might bring charges against Ford for not forcing him to comply with the company’s policy on masks.
BREAKING: Michigan Attorney General says Donald Trump is no longer welcome in the state of Michigan after the President did not wear a mask in public.
"He is a petulant child who refuses to follow the rules. This is not a joke."

As a resident of Michigan, I can honestly say he is 100% welcome and that our current state government are traitors and should be treated as such ??♀️

We’re old enough to remember when the recommendation was not to wear masks.
Dr. Fauci on masks ?

Trump is playing these Democrat governors so the people will see how dumb they are. This is a perfect example of chess. Everything trump is doing is waking sheep up

Wow they want to order the president around too. Unbelievable. I feel sorry for the people in MI, they have some serious tyrant problems in the state.
Pretty sure the president can visit anywhere in the country he is running.

She has no authority over this. He broke no law. Michigan order is masks are recommended but voluntary.

Hahaha! Cry me a f*cking river! I’m so sick of people demanding that everyone go along with their narrative and do things that sacrifice our health and our freedoms! Masks aren’t healthy! Government overreach doesn’t happen all at once; it occurs a little bit at a time. WAKE UP!

In other news, how did the tour go?
Pres thanks Ford workers for "leading America back to work" and showing that America's economic engines can safely be restarted while "taking precautions" against the Coronavirus threat. Says America is poised "for an epic comeback."
