The mouth breathers won’t care
If any politician came to my city and said it was a shithole during a speech, I’d not be offended and would totally agree. This city is a shithole.
Be different if they insulted the people of the city, though.
Yet some there who are offended will still vote for him. There is no hope of getting stupid people to change.
“Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump said.
While standing in Detroit… Lmao.
He should have continued with a “you people” comment so he could seal the deal.
He insults America while in America almost every day. His followers always know he means the non-white and non-male parts.
This is classic republican style speech/base-rousing. ‘[insert city/state/region/country here] is terrible, it was once so much better, but now it’s horrible. It’s not you [insert crowd euphemism here] here, it’s all those damn [insert boogeyman euphemism of choice here] coming in and ruining things! We’ve gotta take back the city/state/region/country!’
It’s exactly what old what’s-his-face did with the Haitians and dogs, the ‘illegal’ settlement in Texas, etc. Trump and his team are just so stupid because they take it so far that even the republican politicians in those areas look at them with stupefied expressions and correct the record.
They don’t seem stupid to half the country unfortunately.
i listened to some clips from this appearance. he sounded a bit subdued… like he’s been beaten and whipped, and hasn’t had his nap or his ‘pick-me-ups’ today.
Thats just ol’ Drowsy Don
He knows his voter base has net zero self-respect
I’m a Republican who Does His Own Research and I was there and this is FAKE NEWS! I Saw him say this and he DIDNT say this!
You’re getting good at this
Said a Detroit MAGA voter, “oh my god, Trump pissed on me!!!”
Man, Trump chose someone from Ohio to be his running mate. I mean come on, the one thing Michiganders can agree on is that we hate Ohio - red or blue. Why would you want to elevate someone from Ohio as VP?
Lmao! Moved to Ohio for a bit. Met someone from Michigan, who then totally hated on me for being a Buckeye, was totally baffled at the time. Glad to see it’s still going. I’ve always assumed, sports?
Cold war from when Ohio invaded Michigan’s land and got the president to back their claim over it. Federal government ended up letting Ohio keep it and giving Michigan the upper peninsula in exchange.
Ohio is the sweaty ass crack of America.
I love geography and boy oh boy was I excited to visually confirm that Ohio is indeed The Sweaty Ass Crack of America®!
I got carried away drawing the rest of the
humancreatureAmerican specimen. Thoughts on better knuckle placement?
This implies that certain parts of Canada ride on America’s asscheeks, which seems accurate enough really.
Also both of America’s feet are always being attacked by hurricanes so that’s something
Detroit airport was very nice last time I went through. I really wish I had time to leave the airport. Next time I’m gonna stop a bit longer.
I’m a Detroiter. Born here and I’ve lived a lot of places, but Detroit has the most genuinely kind people you will ever meet. Detroit is a cool city in beautiful state. Fuck Ohio.
The twin cities is by far the nicest metro area in the country. Went there to watch a football game against the Vikings, and compared to KC? Honestly a shame we couldn’t delete KC, and copy/paste Minneapolis over KC. In a Denver jersey, I was treated better in the twin cities than in Denver. It was so wild. We won the game and I got several dozen compliments, they were so nice that it put me in a better mood and made me nicer. I can’t say enough good things about the people of Minnesota.
Ohioan here. You’re not wrong. Sorry about JD Vance.
Don’t forget about Gym Jordan you asshole!
Ohio is like our little brother. It’s fun to pick on you, but down deep we love you.
I definitely agree. I moved to outer Detroit a few years ago and was surprised with how nice everybody is.
I’m guessing Ferndale.
Does it still have that cool underground tunnel lit in all those colors?
Yes, it connects concourse A and B/C in the Delta (McNamara) terminal
I think you’re thinking of O’Hare in Chicago.
O’Hare can be demolished by a hurricane of piss for all I care.
Detroit has crazy light show tunnel in their airport. I don’t know about Chicago, but can confirm Detroit.
I don’t remember that. I remember it being very Motown themed and actually having decent facilities with good reasonably priced food.
Does it still have that cool underground tunnel lit in all those colors?
It does.
How did i miss that shit?
You only use that if you need to go from concourse A to B/C which is mostly used for regional flights
That would make sense since the only time I’ve flown through Detroit was to my brother’s tiny regional airport in PA
Yeah it’s my favorite airport! Clean, quiet, dope train
That man’s potato is mashed.
the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl
Woah woah woah there, Mr. Mayor. Let’s let the season play out before we get to big for our britches.
If the Lions win the Superbowl, we’ll take Kid Rock and Ted Nugent back.
Hey now that’s an awful big group decision you just made for everyone in Michigan
They will die of syphilis soon anyway
I’m sure people were saying that about Trump 30 years ago.
Ok, but they have to be held in a 3ft by 4ft cell with Jefferson Starship’s We Built This City constantly piped in.
Now now, while that might seem the perfect solution, we can’t violate the Geneva convention.
The Geneva convention doesn’t say anything about that song. So it’s all good. Right?
Actually, I think it probably does specify that particular song . . .
I think if you just used a 3 second clip on loop that should pass constitutional muster.
Well, it’s a convention and not a hard and fast rule, anyway.
Why reward them?
I spent a weekend in Detroit on vacation. It was nice! I loved the Ford museum.
Amazing. No notes needed.
And the “…” wasn’t even me editing the headline, that was in the original headline
