Trump insults Detroit while campaigning in the city.

Former President Donald Trump criticized Detroit while delivering remarks to an economic group there on Thursday, saying the whole country would end up like the city if his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, is elected.
“The whole country will be like — you want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit,” the Republican presidential nominee said. “Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president.”
Trump’s remarks came as he addressed the Detroit Economic Club in a speech appealing to the auto industry, a key segment of the population in battleground Michigan’s largest city. But he made conflicting remarks about Detroit throughout the speech, saying it was a “developing” city in an apparent compliment.
Democrats in the state were quick to criticize Trump for his comments. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan lauded the city’s recent drop in crime and growing population.
“Lots of cities should be like Detroit. And we did it all without Trump’s help,” he said on social media.
U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar, who represents Detroit, said on social media that Trump should “keep Detroit and our people out of your mouth.” Referring to Trump’s efforts to win Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel said on X, “This guy is calling us ugly and then asking us out on a date.”

People just can't handle the truth.

Michigan is a trashy arse state and Detroit is a major shite hole.

There isn’t a person in the world that would honestly say they’d like their town to be more like Detroit

Probably not the most effective way to lure voters over to vote for OMB but once again he's not lying.

Insult the people of the state you desperately need to win? That’s a bold strategy, I’m sure it will play off for him.

He can call New Orleans a shite hole. It won't bother me. It's true

Much of Michigan is beautiful for the record.

He was talking about the manufacturing jobs leaving the state. That's not insulting, that's telling the Truth. An insult would be saying Detroits food is the shittiest in the country

stupid. he can't get out his own way. downvote away but this does nothing to help. in fact it mobilizes Detroit and Michiganers to vote Harris out of spite. Will it make a difference who knows but it was unnecessary

I got some texts from upset family members about this. I wish the orange knucklehead could show some tact, but it's too much to ask at this point.

It's called denial. They are coping and seething.

I’ve been all over Michigan and most of the state isn’t beautiful. There are a few spots that are but the whole state, nah.

Not an insult as they know it is. Detroit & Cleveland have some of the cheapest properties in the country. They will basically give houses away

Not sure how Michiganders are, but if you told a room full of Louisianans that a certain candidate would turn the entire state into NOLA, that would resonate like a mfer.

The UP is amazing.
Folks just say dumb shite.

Uhh well yeah.
Everyone in Detroit has at least heard what a strong and prosperous city it was before in-country manufacturing costs skyrocketed mainly due to the US government's idiotic regulations and policies put in place by politicians trying to buy votes.
