"I don't think anything that we're talking about today is high on her list," Trump continued. "The whole country is going to be like, you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president. You're going to have a mess on your hands."

- Donald J Trump, October 10, 2024 in an address to the Detroit Economic Club, Detroit, MI.

I wonder, when he's a guest in someone's house, does he tell them how horrible their house is?

I don't know but people in the crowd were taken aback... there's total silence when he says it. A lot of folks at the Detroit Economic Club feel we are doing pretty well right now.

The Detroit Mayor that is there now took the city out of bankruptcy and invigorated it.

Here's a different perspective, to a white flight racist, what Trump said was pretty on target. Many people in Macomb and North Oakland don't consider themselves as Detroiters...

Ask BMW, his family left the metro area and I'm sure he understood the comment clearly.

My community has people of all colors from around the world. We aren't the white flight mecca for people from Burton, and Detroit's Eastern Suburbs.

Here's our community's inclusive pledge, I couldn't find one for any of the costal Huron communities....

Here's our Human Rights Commission

Wow man, head to Front Street some Saturday and you'll realize that we have visitors of all origins, ethnicity and beliefs. Way to be obtuse on DEI. How's Pride week where you are?

You're the one who brought up "white flight" and then took it a step further suggesting that white people moving away from a place like Detroit must be a bunch of racists.

In context, white flight specifically applies to residents, not visitors. So I asked you what the racial makeup of the place you have chosen to reside in is, which, you don't want to admit is over 90 percent white.

Here's the difference; We are welcoming of many beliefs and backgrounds. We choose acceptance. If you are a typical resident (which I believe you likely are) you're caught up in a bastardized version of "faith" and embrace hate and distrust that which you don't understand or can't appreciate. I am betting you don't leave Michigan very often. It's why so much of what Trump is selling you buy or accept. He certainly isn't a conservative.

I could it explain it more, but I can't understand it for you.
