“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.

He 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.
This 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.
They don't seem stupid to half the country unfortunately.
Said a Detroit MAGA voter, "oh my god, Trump pissed on me!!!"
Man, 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?
Ohio is the sweaty ass crack of America.
I love geography and boy oh boy was I excited to visually confirm that Ohio is indeed The Sweaty Ass Crack of America®!
I got carried away drawing the rest of the ~~human~~ ~~creature~~ American specimen. Thoughts on better knuckle placement?
This implies that certain parts of Canada ride on America's asscheeks, which seems accurate enough really.
Also both of America's feet are always being attacked by hurricanes so that's something
Windsor, Canada is definitely one of Americas sweaty ass cheeks
Lmao! Moved to Ohio for a bit. Met someone from Michigan, who then totally hated on me for being a Buckeye, was totally baffled at the time. Glad to see it's still going. I've always assumed, sports?
Cold war from when Ohio invaded Michigan’s land and got the president to back their claim over it. Federal government ended up letting Ohio keep it and giving Michigan the upper peninsula in exchange.

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.
Thats just ol' Drowsy Don
Stimulants 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.
Yeah, 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.

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.
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.
I'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.
Ohioan here. You're not wrong. Sorry about JD Vance.
Don’t forget about Gym Jordan you asshole!
Ohio is like our little brother. It's fun to pick on you, but down deep we love you.

Does it still have that cool underground tunnel lit in all those colors?
Yes, it connects concourse A and B/C in the Delta (McNamara) terminal
I think you’re thinking of O’Hare in Chicago.
Detroit has crazy light show tunnel in their airport. I don’t know about Chicago, but can confirm Detroit.

Yeah it’s my favorite airport! Clean, quiet, dope train
He knows his voter base has net zero self-respect
The mouth breathers won’t care
the 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.
If the Lions win the Superbowl, we'll take Kid Rock and Ted Nugent back.
Hey now that's an awful big group decision you just made for everyone in Michigan
They will die of syphilis soon anyway
I'm sure people were saying that about Trump 30 years ago.
Ok, but they have to be held in a 3ft by 4ft cell with Jefferson Starship's We Built This City constantly piped in.

I spent a weekend in Detroit on vacation. It was nice! I loved the Ford museum.
Amazing. No notes needed.
And the "..." wasn't even me editing the headline, that was in the original headline
That man's potato is mashed.
Yet some there who are offended will still vote for him. There is no hope of getting stupid people to change.
Stockholm syndrome campaign strategy
I 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.
