Trump slams Kamala Harris for ‘wreaking havoc’ on Detroit – promises a ‘stunning rebirth’ of the ‘sacred’ city

Former President Donald Trump promised a “stunning rebirth” of Detroit during a rally in the Motor City on Friday that was marred by technical difficulties.
Trump, 78, blamed Democrats and “globalist politicians” – including President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris – for Detroit’s decline, while making the case that his plan to impose “massive tariffs” on vehicles imported from Mexico will bring about a resurgence in Michigan’s largest city.
“Detroit has such great potential,” the Republican nominee argued. “But Kamala and the Democrats have been wreaking havoc on this place.”
“It’s a sacred place,” Trump said of Detroit. “So many things happened in Detroit, and it’s been treated so badly, and they’ve been talking about comebacks for so long – but we’re going to bring it back better than it ever was.”
Trump argued that Detroit, once a booming manufacturing center and the automotive capital of the world, has been “decimated, as if by a foreign army” because of bad trade deals and Democratic policies.
“Forty percent of Michigan auto jobs were annihilated after [the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement], and China’s entry into the World Trade Organization was a disaster for your beautiful place, your beautiful city, and frankly, your beautiful state,” the former president said.
