Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tried to hide her face behind a folder during a recent Oval Office meeting with President Trump.
The moment went viral, and not in a good way.
After distancing herself from the fallout, she’s now joined Trump on stage in Michigan.
And Trump gave her the mic for an impromptu speech.
Republicans have long been calling out this Democrat governor for her poor leadership.
And now Democrat voters are sure to turn their back on her now.
Did Trump just guarantee this is her last lap in politics?
Watch as he shines the spotlight on her and hits her with his favorite tactic of all: praising them and saying they’re doing a great job.
This was textbook Trump:
TRUMP: “I want to thank Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer…You know, I’m not supposed to do that. She’s a Democrat. They say, don’t do that, don’t have her here. I said, ‘no, she’s going to be here.'”
“She’s done a very good job.” pic.twitter.com/RECBGXWqa3

Yahoo News reports:
A Democrat governor who hid her face during a “disastrous” Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump will join the president during a visit to Michigan to mark his 100 days in office.
Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, attempted to shield her face with a folder at an event in the Oval Office earlier this month, drawing mockery online and condemnation from fellow Democrats.
Despite attempting to distance herself from Mr Trump in the wake of the meeting, she will accompany the president when he visits the state on Tuesday as he marks 100 days in office since returning to the White House in January.
Her appearance will likely further isolate Democrats who regard Mr Trump as a toxic figure and are frustrated with their party’s seeming inability to stand up to him.
Ms Whitmer is hoping to secure investment in the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Macomb County, where Mr Trump is scheduled to address the Michigan National Guard on Tuesday afternoon.
“And now you’re up to bat, Gretchie”
Then he completely caught her off-guard and welcomed her up to the podium to speak.
Watch here:
LMAO!! Trump just HUMILIATED Gretchen Whitmer by impromptu calling her up to speak at his Michigan speech in front of the National Guard.
“Well, I hadn’t planned to speak…”
You KNOW her rabid Democrat base is furious with her for this appearance.pic.twitter.com/1bVPikdION

I hope some of those in attendance brought some blue folders for Gretchen to autograph.

Not only that, but she welcomed him to Michigan as he deplaned from Air Force One:
