WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Thursday night slammed Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer for not saying 'thank you' after the federal government charged six people with conspiring to kidnap her in an alleged domestic terrorist plot.
He continued, "My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement announced" they"foiled a dangerous plot" against Whitmer and"Rather than say thank you, she calls me a White Supremacist. Members of the group had discussed storming the Capitol Building to kidnap Whitmer and other would-be hostages, considered shooting up Whitmer’s home, discussed setting off a bomb to divert police away from the kidnapping, according to officials, who also said the men tested an explosive and begun training to achieve those ends.
Whitmer continued,"When our leader speaks, their words matter. They carry weight. When our leaders meet with, encourage, or fraternize with domestic terrorists, they legitimize their actions, and they are complicit. When they stoke and contribute to hate speech, they are complicit.
"We know every time that this White House identifies me or takes a shot at me, we see an increase in rhetoric online, violent rhetoric, and so there's always a connection and certainly it's something that we've been watching. But this took it to a whole new level," the governor said.

Why thank them. These guys will be let out on bail. I thought there were seven.
Thank you conman for your hateful rhetoric towards her that launched your hate group to concoct this plot that evidently you were aware of. Thank you conman for the signs you have sent to your proud boys to be ready on your say to murder!
LAW AND ORDER!
Trump should have let them have her! She do evil they would have returned her and asked for jail time to recover from her toxic waste
Which guys did Trump want a thank you for
Serving cheese today...
Trump encouraged this type of action.
For all the new born Babies, our President Trump who was made from twisted steel and sex appeal, his wife, our First Lady Melania and all of my fellow Americans. My grandkids and I singing The Star Spangled Banner.
If someone was plotting against a Republican Governor during Obama years, they would have looked the other way.
I really DON'T LIKE YOU USA TODAY!! Trump didn't SLAM Gov Whitmer! HE INSULTED HER AND HE DISRESPECTED HER! THAT'S WHAT HE DID!!
THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY!
Thanking law enforcement for their support? The same people she's denounced and wants to de-fund? That had to hurt... 🤣🤣🤣
I want to thank our FBI & CIA and I hope Governor Whitmer & family are doing well. Trump is mentally challenged!
Maybe he’s deaf too.
Damn straight realDonaldTrump should!! GovWhitmer wants to defund the police she’s ungrateful and has caused great harm to our great state of Michigan. trump2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Covid-dONALD is suffering from dilutions! 1TERMPREZ. TRUMPFAILEDAMERICA. DITCHMITCH. BidenHarris2020
Says this man who tells people not to worry over Covid and takes his mask off..HYPOCRITE.
That's because they want to defund the police!
The complaint by realDonaldTrump is she called him a white supremacist and offended him personally. I fear for this country because of msm propaganda.stokinghate biasednarrative
Only Hitler trump would do that
The problem is the covidiot wanted a personal thank you!
Did trump condone what they did? ... thought not.
She's a Democrat....she won't thank POTUS.
So the man that struck the match wants an apology for the arrest of the his minions.
Those of us stuck at home because of Covid19 saw Whitmer thank everyone involved in thwarting this evil plan. Trump is wrong again. She did not thank him personally because he had nothing to do with stopping them. In fact, she blames Trump for creating this atmosphere of hate.
SHE DID! It’s on tape!!!! realDonaldTrump advised the OVERTHROW of the MI Gov’t. Well, they followed marching orders & this was their plan. HE should thank law enforcement-if they’d succeeded he’d deserve prosecution for incitement. 😡
Once again Trump attacks the victim especially if it is a female VoteBidenHarris2020
You mean kissing his ass. Its Donald for Donald,,,
He really is one rotten orange! 'Stand back and stand by': Trump
Trump means Whitmer didn’t thank Trump. It’s all about Trump. Trump is the one who instigated the situation with his vile rhetoric.
Bitcoin has broken records for how long it has stayed above $10k. Square, INC just bout $50 million worth! Now bitcoin is making a move to $11k!! Thank goodness we can just buy small amounts at a time. Not many people will be able to afford a whole one soon!
Did Trump acknowledge Obama, pelosi and otter democrats well wishes, after he caught covid.
He almost lost his life bc of his hubris, narcissism & sociopathy maligning Drs. & RNs when he infected himself & others w C-19, so I hope he thanked the excellent socialist HC he got & the tax payer who paid 4 it. Did he? COVID19
President Trump is correct! Trump2020 MAGA2020
Yes, thank you trump for putting all of this in motion. Without you they never would have attempted to kidnap her and possibly kill her. Thank you for inciting violence and spreading lies and killing over 211,000 people with your inept handling of the virus.
Imagine if the so call 'Atifa' has tried to do this.. Trump is an enabler of a terrorist act on American citizens. Worst President America has ever had.
He is F-Ed up!!!
Why should she? He’s the one that inspired them.
I wouldn't want to thank a evil human being, putting a hit out on me either. Thank goodness they got 'CAUGHT' Isn't hiring a hitman a crime glennkirschner2 ?
Trump's so ignorant that he needs sympathy. The FBI's role is to protect the citizens from crimes directed at them. And there's no mandatory requirement to thank. If Trump doesn't know that, then he has a problem.
The Truth Is Out About Ivanka Trump's Husband:
They are doing their job, keeping America safe. I am very proud of our law enforcement community.
Thank the investigators and God for that. 🙏🇺🇸
Why should she thank Trump when he's has pretty much encouraged these violent right wing terrorists.
*eye brow raises and hits roof* 🤨 This feels like trump is just baiting at this point. He'll be voted out and the attention will die along with this sh*t headed administration

And just like that, trumpsters turn their back on The Thin Blue Line
He demanded she thank him personally for the job done by law enforcement. He wanted her to grovel in front of him. Beyond disgusting.
Mine, Me, Trump's, Self, EGO
I wonder if Trump reached out to law enforcement that they were plotting to kill also, that was a joke I know the answer to that
CaliforniaRemembers
She'll NEVER give thanks to law enforcement even though they saved her life. As if she could defend herself.
Of course Trump has to make it about him. I didn't think he could get any worse but guess I was wrong. This is low even for Trump!
She blamed trump and a group who wasn't even involved. It was anarchist trump haters. Joes folks.
US Senator tweeting the USA is not a Democracy. Trump supporting Brown Shirts planning to kidnap and murder Governors. This is like 1933 Germany. Last chance America.
She staged the whole story anyway.
How do you set a fire, put out said fire and then expect congratulatory messages for your misguided actions? Seriously delusional. Cut him off the drugs already!!!
Thank you? WTH Trump should have been included in the indictment.
She did say Thank You. Is there anything too big/SMALL Trump won’t lie about? She called u a white supremacist bc u failed to condemn it on camera in front of millions! Just bc u decide to make a statement later, bc it was hurting ur campaign, means NOTHING; the damage was done!
Trump has lost all his marbles.
Thank you? WTF? VoteHimOut
She is one of the nastiest and evil governors our country has ever seen.
He learned about it after the fact and had no role in the investigation and arrests of the terrorists. The intelligence agencies were doing their jobs. No 'thank you' is due to Trump.
After Trump's diagnosis he garnered sympathy from countless many people who are otherwise disgusted by his politics. There was hope this experience would instill some humility and compassion in his discourse. Clearly it hasn't.
LostSiren13 WTAF? And he said NOTHING about the horrible bombing and kidnapping escapade planned by so called militia members I hope they enjoy their macho bullshit in a federal prison
F**k trump!
He’s a clown.
She’s evil like MSM
The 'roids have rotted what little was left of Trump's brain.
Now 45 Can’t HEAR or UNDERSTAND ENGLISH 🥺🧐
IAmJoeTrudeau Trump is the reason the terrorists tried to terrorize her! Trump is the reason for all the terrorists in the United States ramping up their violence! He has incited the violence!
Trump wanted the Governor to say, “thank thank you President Trump I love you!!!
Slammed is a the wrong word, whined is what he did
Caserta is an anarchist who hates Trump.
SameAssholeDifferentDay
He want her to write: thank you MY president. It in NOT gonna happen.🤔
I know this is hard for Trump to understand, but the FBI is independent to the executive branch. She doesn’t owe him shit.
what does she need to thank him for? FBI and CIA is not the office of the President. he does not lead the day to day activity.
LOL. Trump doesn't stay on one channel long enough to know what ANYONE actually says. He's got ADD. He's channel flipping constantly.
Nutsy is a very sick man.
Imagine if the FBI was as interested in actual crimes (Marxist violence, riots, arson, treason) as they are in fantastical 'plots' against an unpopular Democrat.
Really is this all trump has to do?
He is out of his mind.
