Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer mocked for hiding face from cameras in Oval Office before Trump meeting

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.

It says ‘shame’ and ‘fear’...no other reason to cover your face

Whitmer's Dead Zone moment. In the Dead Zone movie an evil candidate for President ruins his own campaign by grabbing a baby as a human shield during an assassination attempt.

There is something off and an evil presence just exudes off that women. It’s sad so many others don’t get it.

Oh ok, I saw that last week where she called out Tapper as a leftist. I wouldn’t have recognized her as being the same woman in the oval office. When thinking about it I was thinking it might possibly be Katie Britt as her face sort of resembled hers and she is in Trump’s cabinet.

I thought she either dressed up as a witch once or was at some ceremony where there were witches...

Did that happen really in the movie? I don’t remember that since it’s been so long ago.

That’s too good for her. There’s something satanic there.

And all she had to do is own it and say, "Yes, I worked with President Trump on this issue that is very important to Michigan taxpayers." No explanation, no justification - she could have become one of the 2028 front-runners, even if the psychos screamed for a few days afterward . Now, that stupid photo ends her chances...and the psychos are screaming at her, anyway. :)

I wonder if Gavin Newsom paid someone to advise her to do that - it couldn't have worked out better for him. :)
