Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D):

"Nearly everything that Trumpf touches, he destroys. He has taken an annual bipartisan tradition, and he's turned it into his own 12-year-old birthday party, where he's going to invite some people and not invite others. Everybody but Billy is invited.'
"And the idea that he wouldn't invite Wes Moore, who is our nation's only Black governor, in the same set of days that he put out that video depicting the Obamas the way he did, just speaks volumes.

"Wes Moore is a friend of mine. I certainly ain't going if he's not invited. His pettiness knows no bounds and he makes our life as governors that much harder to ultimately get the results that we try to for our people."

Jared Polis (D-CO) is one of the first openly gay and Jewish governors of a state. Governor Polis has refused to pardon a convicted notorious election denier, angering Dummkopf Trumpf. Moreover, Polis hung a portrait of Trumpf in the State Capitol which was eventually taken down after the geriatric pedophilic morbidly obese draft dodger belly-ached about it: Perfect Likeness of Trumpf

A potential 2028 POTUS candidate, Governor Andy Beshear (D) may have torpedoed his own political future when in August 2025 he was asked about Israel's brutal genocidal campaign against the Palestinians in Gaza. Beshear's "response was both politically foolish and morally depraved."

Most. Racist. Homophobic. President. Ever.

Pres Trump wants to divide the Country, not unite the Country.

His aim seems to be, ~a house divided against itself,~ to weaken the Country in its opposition to Pres Putin.

Kudos to Gov Beshear for not bowing to kiss the most-ample derriere of Pres Trump.

I'm amazed that Okiehomie Governor Kevin "Brown Shoes" Stitt grew a little backbone and stood up to Der Dotard over this matter. Of course, his political viability is nil, being term-limited out of office and being so unliked by the state GOP he would have a hard time getting on as Tulsa County game warden...

Remarkably, "Okiehomie Governor Kevin "Brown Shoes" Stitt" stayed the imminent execution of a Person of Color a few months ago.

White GOP governors staying the state-sanctioned murder of black convicts is rare.

Either there is a real person underneath the GOP reptile skin and/or the term limit played a part in Stitt bucking the trend.

Dummkopf Trumpf just called California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) "Newscum" [sic] for signing a treaty with the UK.

I don't think he was disinvited.

Obviously every Democratic governor should boycott this dinner. Let Party of the Pedophiles have their own dinner with Trump in the White House without any taint of their perversions staining the Dems.
