After Donald Trump insulted the city of Detroit yesterday while making a speech in... Detroit, the Harris campaign released an ad slamming the remarks.
As he normally does when someone puts a microphone in front of his face, Donald Trump did something stupid in Michigan yesterday. The former President told attendees at the event:
"Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. Detroit’s a developing area, hell of a lot more than most places in China."
Michigan is a critical swing state and the Democrats wasted no time in taking advantage of Trump's gift. A narration over the video reads:
"We rebuilt ourselves. We looked out for each other, got our hands dirty, and put in the hard work. And this guy? [cuts to Trump golfing]. He don’t know anything about that. We are a city of winners, of up-and-comers, of builders. The Motor City. Bigger and better. Here, we believe in freedom. We don’t bow down to nobody, and we never will. And so what Donald Trump doesn’t understand or care to learn is that when he said, ‘Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president,’ that he should be so goddamn lucky."
