'I want them to be appreciative,' Trump said. 'I don't want them to say things that aren't true.'

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Friday he has asked Vice President Mike Pence not to call governors he says have not been"appreciative" enough of his efforts on"Don't call the woman in Michigan," Trump said at a press conference while discussing Pence's work as head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.– replied on Twitter that"right now, we all need to be focused on fighting the virus, not each other.

Whitmer, he said, “has no idea what’s going on, and all she does is say it’s the federal government’s fault." Earlier this month, Trump attacked Whitmer in a tweet after she told MSNBC that “the federal government did not take this seriously early enough." "Hi, my name is Gretchen Whitmer, and that governor is me," Whitmer shot back on Twitter. "I've asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits."Last-minute revision to coronavirus stimulus widened eligibility for $1,200 checks

Government should take such steps to avoid Covid19!

Just a nut case

No concern for people’s lives. Just make sure to genuflect at trump’s golden throne.

So insecure! Sad!

What is she doing to get them besides whining? I’m proud of our governor for working to get PPE.

realDonaldTrump You don’t deserve thanks for doing your job... then again you DON’T do your job so all is a moot point.

Name calling and child like spats has no business being relevant during a pandemic. He doesn’t need a pat on the back for his efforts just do the job of a competent president. We should all be working towards the same goal.

I AGREE!!!!

The who knows who is acting like a real estate agent to Governors. Unfortunate!

What a narcissistic & selfish “human being”. He has caused thousands of deaths just for his re-election and petty politics. He is an embarrassment to the USA and the human race!!!!!!!

Get em Don!

despicable human being --- petty, little man

The bigger enemy is POTUS

Then SHUT the $“ up!

Think about it....those words coming from a liar who can hardly speak a sentence without praising himself.

Mr President : Just do not waste your time to curse back. Concentrate on your works and work harder . Act like a man. Act like the President of the USA.

If you’re an empathetic human being, there’s no way you can disagree or not understand where Trump is coming from on this subject.

Trump not wanting people to say things that aren't true would leave him speechless. ('tis a consumation devoutly to be desired...)

I agree with you Dipshit, who the hell do they think they are telling the truth about the crap I'm doing, who are they to say I don't have a clue, who are they the say that my lack of action and encouraging FoxNews to call Covid-19 a HOAX. They should be all praising ME.

So he wants the governor's to kiss his butt in order for the American people, he's supposed to be serving, to get their needed supplies. No he needs to be kissing their butts and apologizing to everyone else.

This is what happens when you go on national tv after the State of the Union and dis the president. There is a lot more to the story. MI gov. is terrible.....

Sorry Trump. You don't deserve praise. You are a disaster. Feb 12th 'all is well' that should be the logo on your red hat as you out yell helicopters.

This entire video is a 25th amendment impeachableoffense

Translation - they need to kiss my azz

And many of us want you to drop to the floor with a massive coronary...but you can’t always get what you want

Do they have to bow before you and kiss your ring?

They are just following in the footsteps of their president...(saying things that aren’t true)...idiot

The man has no respect for women

Pls STOP peeing, Mr Peesident! The world can see how good your brilliant team is!

This fucking guy ... unbelievable

And yet VP Pence did call.

Yes, they need to appreciate the help and not be bashing the president. They also have a responsibility to govern.

The federal government is starting to move more toward authoritarian ruling it's amazing. It's like if you talk bad about me in public fuck you let the people suffer and die. Wtf is wrong!! He is the one supposed to lead and show an example in chances to rise this country

This from the man that can't get anything correct, lies constantly...

If we lock arms we just going to spread it faster

I wish she was president 🤷🏻‍♂️

How about a burst of good energy for him this isnt easy times...everyone needs to be appreciated...please folks

Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. You have only yourself to blame.

Uh... how about quoting the entire statement and not just cherrypicking part of it. If you listen to the whole thing, he’s saying something entirely different. This kind of selective editing is the same as lying.

realDonaldTrump would be great if YOU told the truth!

Don't often agree with him but she's clearly lost the plot. This thing is devised to crash the economy, its a low level virus. Jesus wept

You don’t deserve appreciation you’re the one that don’t know what you’re doing🤮🤢

PRINT THE WHOLE QUOTE YOU HACKS

BobbyRiversTV I can't imagine that they wouldn't be grateful for lifesaving supplies or that they wouldn't express it verbally. However, this seems more like wanting folks to beg publically. Yes, beg. How pathetic and sad.

It’s his way or the highway and he doesn’t care who dies. My problem is, why doesn’t the VP disagree with him? He knows it’s wrong!! The people aren’t the enemy, the virus is 🤦🏽‍♀️

Do t know about that guy at the White House 🤡

Now do the whole quote!

Mike Pence wants to do the right thing like treating each state the same no matter who you don’t like President Trump. Mostly he is not vindictive like you are. If you would step back and let him handle this it would go much smoother but you’re afraid you won’t get the credit!

LMFAO , this guy is such an ahole . all he does is lie and say things that arent true . i guess hes hes the pot calling the kettle black .

Trump and Adm lie,Cornavirus not Influenza.'The latest FluView surveillance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that as of January 18, 2020, there have been 15 million cases of flu, 140,000 hospitalizations, and 8200 deaths in the US this influen'

You know when you demand appreciation you don’t deserve it. If you are humble and don’t brag about what you’ve done people will appreciate you without you asking for it which is the best form of appreciation. We’re you never taught this?

WTH?

Scum

Our plight was self-inflicted BY YOU! S. Korea is first country to report more coronavirus recoveries (4,811) than active cases (4,523). S. Korea (pop. 50 million) has not imposed economically-damaging lockdowns; recoveries attributed to widespread testing & contact tracing.

Shoulda planned ahead.

UDA today should put up the full quote!!!!!! The context is quit different!

Screw you and the horse you road in on

Stop it! Do your job! This is not a personality contest! Fool!

This guy is unbelievable. Hard to understand he is the United States president.

Appreciate nothing you did nothing and called it a hoax realDonaldTrump TrumpLiesAmericansDie

realDonaldTrump Sir do you even listen to yourself. You sound petty. It’s time to be a leader and be a symbol of hope to ALL. Ignore criticism just do your job. People are suffering. They need you as a leader

Says it all

BarackObama was our last real president, now we have someone who thinks he’s...

Your job isn't to be appreciated 🤦🏻‍♀️ it's to do what's needed when needed regardless of your personal feelings .

wait! 'He' doesn't want 'them' to say things that aren't true?

TrumpLiar 🤥👖🔥 IMPOTUS TrumpDangerousIdiot TrumpIncompetent 🤬🤢🤮👎🏼

Come on. President is elected to serve the country and the ppl in that country, not be elected to be praised. Just do your job!

Each time the Republicans were elected, the President and his administration led USA to disaster. Bush the 2008 financial crisis, Iraq 2003 war. Trump, chaos in the Middle East Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon and defense of the economy instead of the American people.

Sounds like BLACKMAIL to me!

The Governor of Michigan has been a whiner and is constantly looking for people to blame along with most Democrat Governors. Democrats never think of blaming China or themselves for their open border policies.

FakeNews deceptively edited propaganda

Anytime someone disagrees with you you take it as an attack. It’s not and what they say isn’t fake.

KMA. Eff you.

He doesn’t care about Pence even as he cares nothing for you. He wanted credit for HIM. He will drop you/buy with ill-gotten gains more people who prefer NOT to think for themselves. The Jewish people were decimated because there were people who did not deal with reality Like You

realDonaldTrump it happened on your watch! You are responsible for all of it. It will be recorded and this history of being impeached, your poor leadership and gross negligence will be remembered.

Be Best, the woman in Michigan is Govenor Gretchen Whitmer. stopbullying BeBest respect

F HIM !

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID IS THAT 47 GOVERNORS HAVE BEEN DOING AN AMAZING JOB BUT 2 MAYBE 3 GOVERNORS ARE BECOMING A PROBLEM NOT A HELP TO THE PANDEMIC........ USA TODAY WANTS YOU TO HATE TRUMP........EVERYONE READS NEWS BUT NOBODY READ USA TODAY....WHO CARE IF I'M LYING THEY DO

It’s taxpayers money, not from your freaking bank account, don’t play like God, play like a doG, please your owners (Americans). It might prolong your life a little longer

Who is gonna safe us

There was a whole section after the word appreciative left out of this!

Yeah let’s all lock arms, that’ll help fight the spread 🤦🏼‍♂️

Oh please after you said it was a hoax and you down played it

Wacko

Stop talking!

Sure Trump. Just like your rules of social distancing that you don't follow you want do as I say and not as I do. You want to insult and degrade people but can't stand it when you get called on your lies.

He is such a little baby! Grow some is all I can say!

We'll ALL APPRECIATE it when you're out of office come this November! Happydaysarehereagain

Not sure what else all u Democrats want him to do. He has done more than possible. Why don’t u stop blaming him for what’s happening and start blaming the communist China that started this crap.

Perhaps VP Pence will call because he knows he is a servant of the people. The President seems to feel the people are his servants.

realDonaldTrump so you don’t like when people tell lies? Guess what neither do we! Which is why news stations around the world no longer broadcast you and your lies.

And don’t we wish those words meant something to the Commaner in Lies

I understand what our President is saying, and if you don't, your part of the problem. keepingitreal PelosiHatesAmericans Trump2020NowMoreThanEver HillaryLiedAmericansDied

You first !!!!

Omg..I’m so tired of...me,me,me,me, I,I,I,I,I,me,me,me..

the woman in Michigan,show some respect

Best president the modern history. Bless you sir 😋

Smart Michigan

Just goes to show you he’s never had a real job. When was the last time, you’re boss came up to you and said I really appreciate you? Just do your job. trump

Do the whole quote. Shame on you.

Well if she did such a great job have her walk around the 8th mile at midnight tell 6:00 am all by herself then she can tell everyone how great she is

Basically, Trump is saying..kiss my a$$ or else? 🙄

The GOP’s gift to America.....a 3rd grade lunatic.

BULL TRUMP SHIT

Ok how about the rest of what he said.

Trump is right why waste time when, they only complain.....they should be pulling for the whole country and appreciate that Pence is trying to please everyone. It is impossible ....

This what a dictator does. He doesn’t care about the lives of Americans! When are Americans going to figure that out?

I want them to be appreciative, otherwise I will go into temper tantrum mode and throw all my teddy bears out of the cot. Grow a back bone Mr President and show leadership that the American public are so desperate for.

45% of deaths from this virus have occurred in New York & New Jersey. Instead of laying into the guy that is overseeing things on the Federal level, where is the critique for the people getting paid BIG MONEY to manage the healthcare of those 2 states? Or is that not the agenda?

And guess who decides what is or isn't true or who is or isn't sufficiently appreciative? Onion skinned Donald J. Trump, that's who.

Truely one of the most evil, vile, disgusting individuals on Earth...

Dump Trump....

It’s like you can watch his ego shatter to pieces in real time!

It’s offensive when he refers to her as “that woman in Michigan”.

You are spreading propaganda! Show the entire conversation. He didn’t say HE wanted to be appreciated. STOP THE FAKE NEWS. realDonaldTrump RealJamesWoods

The real enemy of America must be Trump. He hates his people.

We want him to stop saying things that aren’t true. Stop whining. We would appreciate him if he’d stop acting like an ass and do his job. How about that?🤬

I wish this effing dude would shut the hell up, step aside, and let his administration do all the thinking and speaking.

25thAmendmentNow ...and he did away with the EPA because it didn't agree with him. HouseFloor who the HELL is in charge here

Meanwhile, 3 million Puerto Ricans nod, 'Told you so.' If he is not treated like a king, he'll smirk while you drown.

Yeah! Because Trump should be the only one to tell lies. After all, he does it so well and so often.

you be nice to him or he's going to take his toys and go home. He's killing his own people. Unreal.

LyingTrump Your early lack of recognition and leadership regarding Covid-19 have caused deaths and put America behind the curve as the disease spreads. You can deny responsibility, but you can't deny the facts.

PRINCIPLES ABOVE PERSONALITY, MR. PRESIDENT.

TrumpLiesPeopleDie

People stop listening to trump he just stupid

The real enemy to US is realDonaldTrump.

Trump wants to be the only person that lies every day

'I want them to love me. To tell me how I am their saviour. To lie at my feet and give me unconditional love and hugs.' Trump, get a dog. trumpneedsadog

Governor of Michigan is a disgrace also. fighting with Trump. banning chloroquine. shame on Whitamer.

Trump keeps saying things that aren't true.

'Or I'll betray my oath to the constitution and cut you off to compensate for incompetence.'

mary4ce 😒

Poor little “líder”, even do this not apply for this scumb BOSS...💀🍍💀🍍💀🍍💀🍍💀🍍💀💀💀🍍💀

No shiet! A lying sob telling people about fake news.

And if Obama said this......riots in the streets.......

Of course it is Trump who keeps lying to us. He is not reliable evidence to anything except his own inability to tell the truth.

We hope to get off from this one day

Covid-19 has been outmaneuvering Stupid-45 from the beginning.
