Trump says, in Detroit, the country 'will be like Detroit' if Harris wins

[Zorro]

Republican former President Donald Trump, speaking Thursday to the Detroit Economic Club at the Motor City Casino, bashed Michigan's largest city at a time when longtime residents and many national commentators alike consider Detroit to be on an upswing.

In a long, rambling speech, Trump went on at length about the threat he believes is posed to the U.S. if Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, is elected in the Nov. 5 general election. At one point, after talking about trade, he veered into comments about the U.S. and its alliance with European countries in NATO, or the North American Treaty Organization, and what they contribute to the group.

He then abruptly said he didn't think that concern would be "high on her list," referring to Harris.

"I don't think anything that we're talking about today is high on her list," Trump continued. "The whole country is going to be like, you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president. You're going to have a mess on your hands."

TFA certainly knows how to sweet talk an audience...

[msongs]

1. oh look, media spreading his bullsh*t nt

[iemanja]

20. You think this helps him?

He just insulted the city he was giving a rally in.

[Jilly_in_VA]

2. Oh, you mean

it will be improving? I see Detroit RISING from what it had got to.....

[Skittles]

21. that has been my impression too

and that they are doing a good job of it......

[birdographer]

3. You have to assume everyone in the audience worships him

so references like this will shoot right over their heads, while they clap and cheer. All they hear is the hate toward Harris. The rest is just a buzzing noise.

[llmart]

13. The Detroit Economic Club is made up of Detroit's movers and shakers.

Do they really want someone who bad mouths Detroit so business doesn't move here? That f****** asshole knows nothing about the Detroit of today. Our city is a happening place and yes, Detroit has some areas that are undesirable but so does every city. How any one of those business people could then go on to vote for him is beyond me. These aren't just some of our local redneck uneducated trumpers. I doubt that orange blob even got to see more than the inside of a limo and the building he was in.

[Skittles]

22. as long as he gives them a tax break they don't care

nope

[The Roux Comes First]

4. The Polystyrene-haired Thing Has a Natural Instinct and Built-in Gift for Disseminating Civic Pride, Doesn't He?!?

[JoseBalow]

5. Detroit is making a comeback. Anyone paying attention can see that.

Dipshit is accidentally right, this time; Harris will help improve the country.

But he's still an asshole.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. F'ing jerk...

When will this guy ever go away?

[Deuxcents]

12. I ask that every day. Every single day

[Skittles]

23. you and me both

it's like I just cannot go one freaking day without seeing or hearing about that vile POS

[MontanaMama]

18. The MSM loves him.

He will never go away. Unfortunately. Even when he dies, the media will mourn his loss. Disgusting.

[mwb970]

26. Let them mourn.

Just so he is finally GONE.

[Meadowoak]

27. The media loves him only because he's good for ratings,

And makes them money. The millisecond that changes, they will drop him like yesterday's news.

[sakabatou]

7. TFG shits on their face, and his cult says "thank you"

[Montauk6]

8. AMERICA has been on an upswing since We The People kicked his stanky ass outta the Oval Office!

[GB_RN]

9. Wow.

Guess Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent neglected to read How to Win Friends and Influence People. 😂

[mdbl]

10. after you are done insulting Michigan go insult the other swing states you moron

[twodogsbarking]

[Lulu KC]

16. He actually forgot where he was speaking.

It's no wonder that there won't be another debate. What's left of his brain is turning into tapioca pudding before our very eyes.

His team probably sees what's happening and realized that another debate would be fatal to his campaign. So, they talked him out of it and made him think he came up with the idea.

[Mz Pip]

17. Hopefully Trump

will play a big role in delivering Michigan to Harris.

19. Why is this

ASSHOLE not in prison yet???

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. You guys suck and I alone can fix it

Isn't that how you really feel Donny?

[mwb970]

25. I am SO SICK of this insufferable ahole that I could scream.

He has been in our face every damn day for almost ten years. ENOUGH!!

29. Ah, Detroit. That's Eminem country isn't it?

Did Dumpy go near "8 Mile", or is Agent Orange too scared from the last time he tried to make a run at the guy?

[Novara]

30. Detroit is on the upswing.

He actually gave them more incentive to vote for Harris.

32. I went there in December 2022

There was an enormous Van Gogh exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Art. The entire museum is magnificent. Driving through the city, I could tell how it was once great. Yes, there are buildings that were abandoned a long time ago, but there were also signs that it was coming back to life. I loved my visit and plan to return.

31. Code: Elect an N-Word and America becomes like N-Word Town.

In order to protect their status and property, dip’s Metro Detroit supporters have twisted themselves into greasy pretzels to make their Dear Leader sound not too insane racist. His dog whistle has not worked as intended: Detroit and Michigan will remember his evil nature on November 5.
