Trump’s Strategic Moves: Whitmer Spotlight, Economic Wins, and Global Diplomacy

At a 100-day Michi­gan event, Trump spot­light­ed Gov­er­nor Gretchen Whit­mer, prais­ing her for secur­ing air base jobs and a new fight­er jet mis­sion at Sel­f­ridge, after her White House vis­it. Her cal­cu­lat­ed “Thank you, Pres­i­dent Trump” fuels spec­u­la­tion about a 2026 Sen­ate or 2028 pres­i­den­tial run, mir­ror­ing Georgia’s Bri­an Kemp. Trump ques­tioned media silence on improv­ing eco­nom­ic con­di­tions despite his­toric infla­tion, not­ing prices are drop­ping. Diplo­mat­i­cal­ly, his team works to nor­mal­ize U.S.-Russia ties, with Putin sig­nal­ing peace, and aims to pre­vent war with Iran. Walmart’s pledge to main­tain low prices with­out tar­iff cost dis­plays aligns with Trump’s push for U.S.-sourced prod­ucts. Media obses­sion with a Mary­land man’s depor­ta­tion ignores his alleged gang ties, with Trump empha­siz­ing legal enforce­ment, recall­ing Democ­rats’ inac­tion on issues like Lak­en Riley’s mur­der. Quot­ing, “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch,” Trump under­scores proac­tive lead­er­ship.

• What is Trump up too? Trump embar­rass­es Michi­gan Gov Gretchen Whit­mer again by call­ing her onstage at a 100 day event. She was at the White House the oth­er day. Trump prais­es Gretchen for help­ing to secure jobs for the air­base. Trump touts new fight­er jet mis­sion at Sel­f­ridge shares cred­it with effec­tive Whit­mer.  There are no coin­ci­dence that she was in the oval office and at the ral­ly yes­ter­day. She caught her­self when she was say­ing her Thank yous so there would be a sound­bite of her say­ing Thank you Pres­i­dent Trump. Need to watch this one. There is an open Sen­ate seat in Michi­gan. Will she run for Sen­ate in 2026 or pres­i­dent in 2028. The same sce­nario as Geor­gia Gov Bri­an Kemp. 
• Worse infla­tion in his­to­ry and prices com­ing down. Trump asks why there aren’t reports pos­i­tive on the econ­o­my as things are shift­ing bet­ter than they were. 
• Putin wants peace. US pres­i­den­tial envoy says impressed by Moscow Krem­lin. Our team is try­ing to nor­mal­ize the rela­tion­ships around the world with Rus­sia. We are try­ing to stop a war with Iran. 
• Wal­mart won’t break out tar­iff costs and pledges low prices. Wal­mart is work­ing hard to keep prices low and going to look for prod­ucts in the US. 
• The media can’t let go of the Mary­land Man. He is not a good guy. Trump is fol­low­ing the law. Remem­ber in the state of the union address when the democ­rats would not stand up for the kid with brain can­cer or Lak­en Riley’s mom. Trump said we need­ed either new immi­gra­tion laws or a new pres­i­dent. Trump has the pow­er to bring the man back but it is about the law. Law Enforce­ment and ICE are trained in the col­ors and tat­toos that mean cer­tain things in gangs. 
• Don’t for­get “The World will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but rather by those who watch them with­out doing any­thing to stop them”
