1. I hope they have him arrested when he refuses!

That would make my day!!

[colorado_ufo]

29. GREAT picture of the A Team!

[BComplex]

56. Aren't they awesome?

[Amaryllis]

63. Where?

[BComplex]

73. Katie Porter and Elizabeth Warren.

aka: The A Team! They're awesome.

[Mr.Bill]

31. The Secret Service won't let anyone get near him to arrest him. n/t

[BComplex]

57. One of the injustices in our society. They shoot people that mind their own business,

and let true law-breakers skate if they're privileged. How did we come to this?

[Warpy]

39. I doubt that will happen. I do think they'll bar him from the floor

in order to protect their staff. He will, of course, make a huge stink about it.

Nobody gonna tell HIM what to do, no suh!

[dware]

67. I think the Secret Service wouldn't allow that to happen,

and I can pretty much guarantee that no LEA will go up against the Secret Service.

[SoonerPride]

2. He still won't do it

Watch

[MotorCityBeard]

36. I agree with you, he won't

He'll just hold his breath until he gets his way, or some such shit. Two dams down in mid Michigan today and he rage tweets about mailing out absentee ballot applications. Not a word about the dams.

I am running out of adjectives to describe the orange shit gibbon, his enablers and supporters.... vile, subhuman, depraved, repugnant, noxious.... I'm surrounded by them at work and feel I am losing my mind at times.

[KS Toronado]

60. MotorCityBeard, if you can think & write as above your MIND is in great shape, don't worry be happy

[Grokenstein]

62. Man, I WISH he'd hold his breath.

Until he turns blue (under that makeup).
Until he passes out.
Until he croaks.

[LiberalLovinLug]

66. He won't and his cult base in Michigan will LOVE him for it

Even more so in that he is rejecting the request of a Democratic appointed AG.

[roamer65]

3. Get 'em, Dana.

I like my AG. She’s a sharp cookie.

[JudyM]

45. Loving her, and she's got her hands full. Bet she's relishing the chance to put it to him like this.

[roamer65]

49. Yes she is.

[Siwsan]

4. This might prove interesting!

I can't see him backing down - especially when a Woman from Michigan is the one giving the order.

[LizBeth]

5. Oh, my. I love her.

[world wide wally]

6. Hand him a ticket!

[bluestarone]

23. Don't want him to get a ticket! I want him

STOPPED at the door! NO mask NO entrance!!! End of story!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

55. Or drop a net over the Grifting Orange Pustule and put him in a padded cell.

[dware]

68. Secret Service won't let anyone near enough to hand him that ticket. nt

[RainCaster]

7. It doesn't matter to the dotard- he won't do it.

[tblue37]

19. It would smear his makeup. Once a mask is on, he can't take it off until he can get to his

private quarters for an extended period of time to repair his makeup.

My guess is he'll just call off the visit in a snit and tweet about how abused he is by them.

[Arkansas Granny]

26. That's my guess, too. There will be tweets.

[jmowreader]

61. Spray paint does not smear

Seriously though, it would not surprise me if they positioned a MUA in a men’s room in the plant lobby...after the tour he will just “need to go to the Little President’s Room” where someone will repair that cheap crap he wears before he steps outside.

FFS, the son of a bitch makes $3 million a year being president. Anyone but Trump would have the common decency to quit wearing dollar store-quality makeup on national television.

[Totally Tunsie]

8. Oh please, please, please have him arrested if he won't comply.

[dware]

69. You really think the Secret Service would allow that to happen?

You really think any LEA is going to try and go against the Secret Service?

[Totally Tunsie]

72. A girl can dream, can't she?

[dware]

74. Well, it is a wonderful dream, one that, I regret to say,

won't happen.
Have yourself a great day and keep on dreaming the good dreams.

[Ilsa]

9. This could get really interesting. nt

10. Original article:

Trump has 'legal responsibility' to wear coronavirus mask during Ford factory visit, Michigan attorney general says

Michigan's attorney general said Wednesday that President Donald Trump has a "legal responsibility" — under state law — to wear a mask as a coronavirus precaution when he visits a Ford Motor Co. factory Thursday.

In an open letter to Trump, who so far has refused to wear a mask, Attorney General Dana Nessel wrote, "I ask that while you are on tour you respect the great efforts of the men and women at Ford – and across this state – by wearing a facial covering."

Ford, whose Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti is set to host Trump on Thursday, has a policy of requring masks there. The company said it has informed the White House about that policy.

But Ford also said Tuesday, "The White House has its own safety and testing policies in place and will make its own determination" about whether Trump and his party will wear masks during the visit.

[JudyM]

47. All Dem-run states should insist on face coverings in public so trump can't visit any.

[Srkdqltr]

11. Our Michigan women are wonderful.

Maybe he will not come. We really don't need him. Pestilence and Devastation follow him around. Michigan has had enough.

[roamer65]

25. I'm in the area he's coming to.

I don’t want the stupid fuck plugging up traffic.

Stay home Dotard. You’re NOT welcome here.

[CentralMass]

12. Book marking.

[Fullduplexxx]

13. He wont do it and nothing will happen. if michigan pushes it he will cancel the visit

[Srkdqltr]

18. That would be a plus. Fire and Brimstone follow him around. We don't need.

[forgotmylogin]

27. More likely, he'll cancel and tweettweetRAGETWEET. n/t

[pwb]

14. Why should we be surprised? He is nuts.

He is a dumb ignorant privileged lump of shit headed for the most humiliating defeat of his life.

[oasis]

15. Nobody tells King Trump what to do.

[pamdb]

16. mask

Hopefully he'll have a hissy bit and not come.

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Book him, Dana!

And, heh, lock him up!

[applegrove]

20. LOL! Brilliant!

[EarlG]

21. Heh

Obviously he won’t be arrested and nothing will happen to him if he doesn’t wear a mask. And I’m sure he wasn’t going to wear one anyway. But now he’ll make a point not to wear one, and try to use this to rile up his “I have the freedumb to not wear a mask!!!11” supporters.

Meanwhile the MAJORITY who support sensible guidelines and mask policies will see Trump proudly breaking the rules that everyone else has to follow and deliberately putting people in danger.

Please proceed, Donald.

[katmondoo]

24. The Company could lock the doors until he wears a mask or leaves.

[CincyDem]

22. Wait wait...I thought Republicans were all about "States Rights"...

...isn't this a simple question of states rights. Michigan has the right to make and enforce any law that does not tread on federal rights specifically enumerated in the Constitution ? OK...freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom from unlawful search...I get it. But where does it say "freedom from mask".

This should be fun. Of course he'll go and, just like any bully, he'll stand there and sneer "make me".

What an asshat.

[FakeNoose]

41. They're talking about red states only

Sorry for the confusion!

[reACTIONary]

42. They are...

... if and when it is to their advantage.

[erronis]

28. Why not force the Ford plant to lock its doors / shut down, if the peeResident shows up w/o mask?

Michigan should have the right to force any company on its land to have an emergency lock-down.

[Tribetime]

46. I agree that's the way to go don't give him the photo op

[iluvtennis]

30. Have the state police there ready to prevent him from entering if there is no mask. nt

[dware]

70. You really think the State Police are going to go up against the Secret Service? nt

[progressoid]

32. "legal responsibility" HAHAHAHAHAHAAA

As if he cares about the law.

I laughed so hard, I cried.

[Massacure]

54. No police department would knowingly get into a shoot out with the Secret Service

If Michigan really wanted to push the issue they would just have the district attorney issue a citation after the fact. There is actually precedent for this, Ulyses S. Grant paid a fine for speeding with his horse drawn carriage as President, and Franklin pierce paid a fine when his horse trampled a woman.

If Trump wanted to start a shit show, he could ignore the citation and let Michigan issue a bench warrant. I imagine the Secret Service would not act on that until they received an order from a federal court though, and those court proceedings would probably be a can of worms.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

64. The police could put a wheel boot on Air Force One. n/t

[JDC]

34. He won't do it and He'll flaunt it

AWA, he doesn't care about you. At all.

[George II]

35. Here you go:

[LiberalFighter]

37. If Ford allows him in they should be fined too.

[Golden Raisin]

38. How quaint and old-fashioned that the Michigan Attorney General

thinks Trump or any other Congressional/Senatorial or garden-variety citizen Republicans give a flying rat's ass about laws, subpoenas, etc.

[AllaN01Bear]

40. cue tweet storm in 5,4,3,2,1.

[vapor2]

43. He WON'T wear a mask because he can

[maxrandb]

44. And fuck Ford for inviting this amphibian turd

One more reason I'll never buy a Ford.

[JudyM]

48. Now this: Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners chairman asks President Trump to cancel visit

https://democraticunderground.com/100213464142

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

50. I predicted he would cancel

Now he probably will.

[llmart]

51. Correct me if I'm wrong...

but didn't I just hear on my local (Michigan) news that a Ford plant that had just reopened on Monday had to shut down again because two employees tested positive?

I may have got some of that wrong since I was making dinner while trying to hear the TV in the other room.

Or maybe that's going to be the reason they shut the door when the Orange One comes a calling without a mask.

[MiniMe]

52. The only thing that worries me about fighting him now is that Michigan needs...

disaster relief. tRump blows with the wind making his decisions. Of course, he sure isn't going to swing Michigan if he doesn't do disaster relief for them.

[Buns_of_Fire]

53. I suggest a compromise. Have Dear Leader wear this instead.

[Harker]

58. He'll be coached up on how to make a dramatic

statement out of this. Taking it off on the podium... cracking a joke or asking, "who's with me?"

[Jamastiene]

59. Oh, please let us get to see him in handcuffs.

It might be the only time we ever get to see it.

[dware]

71. You won't see the Mango Menace in cuffs,

the Secret Service won't let any LEA put cuffs on him and no LEA would be stupid enough to go up against the Secret Service.

[catbyte]

65. Our AG is a strong Democratic woman and a lesbian. Let the abuse fly...

That thing has insulted our Governor (strong Democratic woman), our Secretary of State (strong Democratic woman) so let's see him go for the trifecta. Bonus points if he insults the Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court (also a strong Democratic woman)
