Trump in Detroit Says US 'Will End Up Like Detroit' Under Harris

Donald #Trump sought to court business leaders and workers in swing-state #Michigan at the #Economic Club in #Detroit on Thursday.

Detroit, where Trump spoke, is known as the Motor City with auto manufacturing heavy in the region and the industry’s workers pivotal to carrying the state. While the powerful United Auto Workers has endorsed #Harris Trump has made inroads among organized labor’s rank-and-file fueled in part by worries about Biden’s push to transition the US to electric vehicles and the impact it will have on jobs and wages.

#Democrats seized on one of Trump’s remarks at the event, disparaging the battleground state’s largest city.

“Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president,” Trump said.

Polls show a tight contest in Michigan, with a #Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey in September finding Harris up by 3 percentage points, 50% to 47% over Trump among likely voters in the state. Swing-state voters across the seven battlegrounds say they trust Trump more than Harris on handling the economy but the vice president has managed to chip away at his edge on the issue since replacing Biden atop the Democratic ticket.

Let’s not act like Detroit is utopia. Go back over the last decade to see the decline of the city and the rise of the crime a degradation .

[Chorkaloopa]

We live in California, and it’s not destroyed like he said. It could be better, but it’s not a 💩hole. The only 💩hole is Donald J. Trump. Facts.

[zaxkcmous]

Everyone always mad at Trump for just telling the truth 😅

[fbomb]

Anyone else reminded of Doug from weeds?

[johnrobson]

I've never cared about who becomes president until Trump got elected, now I know how crucially damning it can be to have a moron in office. I hope he moves on to something else after he loses in November. This country doesn't need Rob Corddry for President. He's ruining the country for Republicans.

[patrickkeith]

But he pardon Kilpatrick. I can't make this stuff up.😂😂😂

[rockykoast]

This is exactly why he shouldn't be trusted with the nuclear codes...
