During his speech at the Detroit Economic Club this afternoon, Donald Trump insulted the city of Detroit, saying that the “whole country will end up being like Detroit” and that attendees would “have a mess on [their] hands” if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency. This isn’t the first time he’s insulted the city, either – in 2020, Trump said that living in Detroit was “like living in hell.” His latest comments are a continuation of a pattern of Trump attacking other cities across the country, including when he called Milwaukee, WI a “horrible city” earlier this year.

Voters in Detroit don’t take Trump’s attacks lightly. They’ve already overwhelmingly rejected him once, and they’ll do it once more in November – along with the rest of Michigan.

DNC Spokesperson Stephanie Justice released the following statement:

“Michiganders have had enough of Donald Trump bad mouthing and attacking them at every turn – especially after he already let a Detroit-area auto plant close on his watch and is making clear he’d let it happen all over again if he gets a chance. This isn’t the first time Trump has had the audacity to insult the city of Detroit, and he’ll find out this November how Michiganders feel about these kinds of offensive attacks.”
