Whitmer Calls Trump ‘Just Deranged’ after Weekend Comments on Women and Abortion

Michigan Governor Responds to Trump’s Remarks

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has labeled former President Trump as “just deranged” after he made comments suggesting that women would no longer think about abortion if he is elected in November. Whitmer made the remarks during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper.

Trump’s Comments

At a rally on Saturday, Trump stated, “Women will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion.” He added that this would happen because the issue would be sent back to the states.

Whitmer’s Response

Whitmer was quick to respond to Trump’s comments, saying, “That’s just ludicrous.” She stated that Trump doesn’t understand the problems women face every day. “I think, you know, this guy just doesn’t understand what the average woman is confronting in her life in this country, and how could he? He’s not lived a normal life,” Whitmer said.

Understanding Women’s Lives

Whitmer went on to say that Trump has not experienced the same struggles as women, particularly in terms of access to healthcare and medical care. “Unlike Kamala Harris, who has worked hourly jobs, who knows how important it is that women have health care and access to the medical care that they need,” Whitmer stated.

Deranged Remarks

Whitmer characterized Trump’s comments as “just deranged.” She emphasized that Trump’s views on women and abortion are not in line with the experiences of most women in the country.

A Platform for Change

Whitmer’s comments come as the November elections approach. As a co-chair of the Harris-Walz campaign, Whitmer is committed to promoting a platform that supports women’s reproductive rights. She believes that Trump’s views on abortion are out of touch with the needs and experiences of women.

A Historical Context

Trump’s comments are not new. He has made similar remarks in the past, including an online post on his Truth Social platform. In the post, he stated, “WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO… AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO!”

A Future Without Abortion

Trump believes that if he is elected, women will no longer think about abortion because the issue will be sent back to the states. However, many women’s rights advocates argue that this approach is flawed and would only exacerbate existing inequalities.

Conclusion

Whitmer’s comments serve as a reminder of the stark contrast between Trump’s views on women and abortion and the needs and experiences of women in the country. As the November elections approach, it is essential to engage in respectful and informed discussions about these issues.
