Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's hiding game in the Oval Office last week has become a meme in that state's gubernatorial race, and this could be one of her most enduring legacies:

Whitmer now says it was just because she didn't want to have her picture taken while being praised by Trump in the Oval Office.

Sure, Gretch. pic.twitter.com/x48OXG3AIk
Maybe if Trump would have wanted to do a "Dorito communion" Whitmer would have been more open to the photo op.
Today Whitmer spoke at the Detroit Economic Club and it became clear that Trump is going to be following her everywhere from now on. Does this intro music sound familiar?

It's real, and it's spectacular. At the start of her remarks Whitmer said "that was an interesting walk-out song."
Weird they play the song For the Love of Money which as the anthem for Trump's show The Apprentice. She cannot get away from him. Here's the thing, she only loves spending your money.
