On stage Friday evening, with 'Make Detroit Great Again' on the screen, Trump said the city's problems were failures made on Democrats' watch. Your beautiful place, your beautiful city was decimated as if by a foreign army. It was a heaping dose of victimhood with a promise of redemption I will put Detroit first. I will put Michigan first. I will put America first, he said.
It was something of an about face after last week, when Trump warned of Vice President Kamala Harris, 'Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your President.' You're going to have a mess on your hands. It was akin to going to Orlando and saying Mickey Mouse is a Commie.
The crowd's acceptance of Trump's Detroit-on-the-rise spin was consistent with their collective amnesia or indifference to his logical inconsistencies throughout the evening. Breaths after promising to kill any electric-vehicle mandates, he praised Tesla chief Elon Musk.
