In a speech before the Detroit Economic Club, former President Donald Trump warned that a victory for Vice President Kamala Harris would transform America into Detroit — and that would be a bad thing. While his comments provoked ridicule from local lawmakers and civic leaders, they received applause from the audience of rich and largely white business figures who make up a small minority in the largely Black metropolis.
"You wanna know the truth? The whole country's gonna be like Detroit," Trump said of a Harris victory. "Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president. We're a developing nation too. Just take a look at Detroit. Detroit's a developing area, in a hell of a lot more places than China."
