Senator Aric Nesbitt posted a series of tweets on February 13, 2026, addressing economic issues and state policy in Michigan. In his posts, Nesbitt criticized Democrats and the media for their predictions about the economy, voiced support for former President Donald Trump’s policies, and condemned energy mandates implemented by Michigan Democrats.
In his first tweet at 16:51 UTC, Nesbitt wrote: “Remember when Democrats and the media said the economy was going to collapse? Once again, they were not only wrong- but the exact opposite is happening. President Trump was right about everything. AGAIN!”
Shortly after, at 16:53 UTC, he posted another message referencing economic performance under Trump: “The Trump Effect “
Later that afternoon at 17:07 UTC, Nesbitt shifted focus to state policy with criticism directed at Michigan Democrats and Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s environmental initiatives. He stated: “It’s common sense. If Michigan Democrats cared about lowering your costs – they wouldn’t have driven them up with their insane mandates. Whitmer’s green new scam has got to GO, so that our families and job creators can afford to MAKE IT IN MICHIGAN.”
Nesbitt serves as a Republican state senator in Michigan. His remarks come amid ongoing debates over economic growth following periods of national uncertainty and discussions within Michigan regarding renewable energy policies spearheaded by Governor Whitmer’s administration.
