Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was mocked after she was captured hiding her face behind a stack of binders to avoid being seen standing in the Oval Office when President Donald Trump spoke to the press.
The 53-year-old Democrat was flanked by two White House aides as she shielded her identity behind a set of blue folders she was holding before her scheduled meeting with Trump on April 9, according to a photo taken by the New York Times.
Whitmer was in Washington DC to discuss issues including tariffs and a recent ice storm which Whitmer has since asked for a Presidential Emergency Declaration.
The Wolverine State leader’s team claims Whitmer was surprised when she was brought into the Oval Office in front of the cameras as Trump signed several executive orders and proclamations.
Critics viewed the viral photo as Whitmer’s attempt to not be associated with the 78-year-old commander in chief after she traveled to the White House with a bipartisan delegation to address several issues affecting her state.
“Gretchen Whitmer hiding behind her files in the White House is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. This is what my 2-year-old does,” one X user commented.
“Whitmer covering her face is the perfect metaphor for the Democratic Party,” another said.
“President Trump broke Governor Whitmer,” read a third comment.
Others took a look at Whitmer’s past actions on camera and questioned her motives while at the White House.

Wow the story doesn’t do that photo justice. That’s just lunacy. The only time a politician hides their face is when they are being led away in handcuffs. Why on earth should she be ashamed to meet with the POTUS? These democrats are crazy or something.
Knows her TDS opponents will use it against her.

Is she SANE?? How PSTUPID of her and CHILDISH!! WHAT A LEADER!!
The good news is that Gov. Ratched just blew whatever chance she had in the 2028 presidential primaries.
Every time Trump is mentioned, they include his age. Subtle negativity implying senility?
She could be blocking a sneeze.
Now everyone knows she was at Trump’s Oval Office and the picture will be posted everywhere and talked about.
Gretchen Whitmer is the most EVIL governor in Michigan history.

Not really.....Democrats would vote for Hitler if he ran as a Democrat!!
gee- what a brave woman=- can’t imagine how she could ever be president if she is even afraid of her own party mocking her- contrast her lack of bravery with Pres Trump’s who the left tried to eliminate but who stood up and defiantly shook his fist in the face of danger while security begged him to duck for his own safety!
She can’t even stand up to her own party possibly saying mean things about her!
