Is Donald Trump trying to lose Michigan?
It sure looks that way.
Donald Trump, while speaking at the Detroit Economic Club, attacks Detroit.
If you are in the Wolverine State, it’s best not to attack the Lions, Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, or its collegiate teams. Just sayin’
But the fact remains, Trump went after Detroit and it begs the question. Why is he campaigning there and choosing to attack the Motor City?
Detroit, which saw its economy turn around during Obama’s first term, is in the midst of a major revival at this point.1 It actual saw a population increase this year.
Polling averages show a tight race (they aren't, but why chance it), but if those polls are accurate; why irrirate voters in Detroit suburbs who likely have jobs in Detroit.
