The Hill reports:
President Trump late Thursday fired back at criticism from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D), who called him a “petulant child who refuses to follow the rules” for not wearing a mask during a visit to a Ford plant in the state.
The president responded by suggesting Nessel “was taking out her anger and stupidity” on Ford. Before the visit, Nessel had encouraged the president to wear the mask, noting it is required in the state by order of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and by Ford company policy.
Nessel responded to Trump’s Twitter attacks late Thursday by saying Trump has a problem with the Democratic women that run the state of Michigan.
Do nothing A.G. of the Great State of Michigan, Dana Nessel, should not be taking her anger and stupidity out on Ford Motor – they might get upset with you and leave the state, like so many other companies have – until I came along and brought business back to Michigan. JOBS!

Hi! ?After struggling with our Gov & SOS, impressed you know my name. Seems like you have a problem with all 3 women who run MI-as well as your ability to tell the truth. The auto industry has been thriving for years bc of our incredible auto workers & companies. #UnionStrong https://t.co/qKDINknn2O

Also, hard to say I’ve “done nothing” as AG with all the lawsuits myself and the other @DemocraticAGs have filed and won against you. ?
