President Donald Trump bashed governors he claims weren't "grateful" enough for federal assistance, and said he's directed Vice President Mike Pence not to call such governors unless they "treat him right.".
In particular, Trump called out Washington Gov. Jay Inslee — calling him "a failed presidential candidate" — and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who he said, "has no idea what's going on.".
"I say Mike (Pence), don't call the governor of Washington; you're wasting your time with him.
Don't call the woman in Michigan," Trump said.
I’m willing to work with anyone as long as we get the personal protective equipment we need for the people of Michigan.
In Michigan, 60 people have died, and there are nearly 3,000 confirmed cases across the state.
Trump was also asked about his decision to invoke the Defense Production Act to order GM to begin producing ventilators to address a nationwide shortage. »
