Trump insults Detroit during speech … in Detroit
Trump insults Detroit during speech … in Detroit
The famously loose-lipped presidential candidate couldn’t help but insult a key battleground state’s largest city
Trump could see a family of his supporters, shoot the child, and the family will love him more. This man can do no wrong and won't do anything wrong in their eyes.

6I mean, yeah. Lots of shitholes all over. I live in one myself.
It's kind of the opposite of "developing" though. All it's industry got ripped away from it. Nothing got put back. I don't know why every country thinks it's OK to have a handful of rich cities and a whole load of former "something" towns.
5This is definitely a thing that isn't talked about enough. Wealth disparity works exactly like this a lot of the time. It seems like the whole point of a country is to share infrastructure and resources, but a lot of places are treated like they're invisible.
Here in Canada, throughout the north we have a shitload of towns that at one point had or currently have a level of relative prosperity because of whatever resource extraction took place there. Lots of small towns have this eerie brand-new look that seems frozen in time for 40 years. And now even if that wealth is still accumulated by extracting from those regions, most of the actual wealth is siphoned directly back to city dwellers in southern parts of the country -- most of the labour is transient and most of the industries have their headquarters in far away places.
It seems like basically every bit of unrest could be solved by just, y'know, sharing.

(Satire)
That statement which Mr. Trump made was later sued by Mr. Trump himself for trademark infringement. To quote the opening statement: this is just too on brand to not be infringing on my client's image. Mr. Trump lost the suit the lawsuit despite the defendent not showing up in court. Mr. Trump did not pay his lawyers.
1“Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump said.
While standing in Detroit... Lmao.
229He should have continued with a "you people" comment so he could seal the deal.

He insults America while in America almost every day. His followers always know he means the non-white and non-male parts.
118This is classic republican style speech/base-rousing. '[insert city/state/region/country here] is terrible, it was once so much better, but now it's horrible. It's not you [insert crowd euphemism here] here, it's all those damn [insert boogeyman euphemism of choice here] coming in and ruining things! We've gotta take back the city/state/region/country!'
It's exactly what old what's-his-face did with the Haitians and dogs, the 'illegal' settlement in Texas, etc. Trump and his team are just so stupid because they take it so far that even the republican politicians in those areas look at them with stupefied expressions and correct the record.
47They don't seem stupid to half the country unfortunately.

Said a Detroit MAGA voter, "oh my god, Trump pissed on me!!!"
68Man, Trump chose someone from Ohio to be his running mate. I mean come on, the one thing Michiganders can agree on is that we hate Ohio - red or blue. Why would you want to elevate someone from Ohio as VP?

I'm a Republican who Does His Own Research and I was there and this is FAKE NEWS! I Saw him say this and he DIDNT say this!
58You're getting good at this

i listened to some clips from this appearance. he sounded a bit subdued.. like he's been beaten and whipped, and hasn't had his nap or his 'pick-me-ups' today.
41Stimulants and other drugs will only work for so long. Eventually, even bigger doses won't help, and there might be a whipsplash effect at some point.
6Yeah, one of the differences between how stimulants work as a treatment for conditions like adhd vs as a pick me up is that. Tolerance is a minor annoyance when it’s there to mess with your neurochemistry, but as a “go drug” eventually you’ve gotta pay up. Nothing is free when it comes to using drugs to enhance beyond normal, and the further you go the more debt you accrue.

Detroit airport was very nice last time I went through. I really wish I had time to leave the airport. Next time I'm gonna stop a bit longer.
32I'm a Detroiter. Born here and I've lived a lot of places, but Detroit has the most genuinely kind people you will ever meet. Detroit is a cool city in beautiful state. Fuck Ohio.
35The twin cities is by far the nicest metro area in the country. Went there to watch a football game against the Vikings, and compared to KC? Honestly a shame we couldn't delete KC, and copy/paste Minneapolis over KC. In a Denver jersey, I was treated better in the twin cities than in Denver. It was so wild. We won the game and I got several dozen compliments, they were so nice that it put me in a better mood and made me nicer. I can't say enough good things about the people of Minnesota.

Does it still have that cool underground tunnel lit in all those colors?
11Yeah it’s my favorite airport! Clean, quiet, dope train

He knows his voter base has net zero self-respect
21The mouth breathers won’t care
18the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl
Woah woah woah there, Mr. Mayor. Let's let the season play out before we get to big for our britches.
18If the Lions win the Superbowl, we'll take Kid Rock and Ted Nugent back.

I spent a weekend in Detroit on vacation. It was nice! I loved the Ford museum.
14Amazing. No notes needed.
10And the "..." wasn't even me editing the headline, that was in the original headline

That man's potato is mashed.
9Yet some there who are offended will still vote for him. There is no hope of getting stupid people to change.
6If any politician came to my city and said it was a shithole during a speech, I'd not be offended and would totally agree. This city is a shithole.
Be different if they insulted the people of the city, though.
-3Do you not understand that it is the people that make any city shit hole? Like, it can't be blamed on the buildings, the landscape, or the economy. A city isn't a place, it's the people. When someone says a city is a shit hole, they ARE insulting the people.
6I’d be offended depending on the city. Detroit has had its issues but it’s not the Detroit it was 20 years ago. Calling it a shithole is basically saying “I know your city is infamous but I don’t care enough to find out if that’s true. Also, it’s one thing if Vance or Walz does it, but Harris and Trump are lifelong coastal. Giving Michigan shit is a Midwest thing
