Gretchen Whitmer: Trump can't be trusted on a golf course — let alone the country
Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer took the stage at Detroit Metro Airport on Wednesday at the latest rally for Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly selected running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). And she laid into former President Donald Trump, scorching his record and stressing he can't be trusted with the future of the country.
Americans can't trust Trump, she said, if they can't even trust him to track his golf score.
"We cannot afford another four years of Donald Trump," said Whitmer, to thunderous applause from the rallygoers. "Let's just look at his record. He did zilch on infrastructure, failed. He tried slashing ... Social Security and Medicare, and repealing Obamacare. Thankfully, he's a failure there too. He destroyed tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, cut taxes for himself and his wealthy friends, and he instigated the January 6th riot. And of course, he bragged about Roe v. Wade falling. So, a second term of Donald Trump would be an unmitigated disaster."

"I mean, think about it. You wouldn't buy a used car from this guy, how can you expect him to support the auto industry?" said Whitmer, who briefly had to pause as someone in the crowd required medical attention. "You wouldn't let him pick up the tab at dinner, or trust him to pick up the tab at dinner, how can you trust him with the world's largest economy? You can't even let him count his own strokes on the golf course. How can you trust him with the rule of law?"
"We can send Donald Trump packing again, and Michigan is going to do it!" Whitmer exclaimed, to another round of cheers.
Trump is notorious for cheating at golf, despite boasting an array of "championship" awards from his own clubs.
