GET ME REWRITE: Demented Donald Trump blows long and hard on racist dog whistle in Detroit

 
Census data:  U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts
Headline:  Michigan Advance, 10/10/2024
In a more than two-hour presentation, Trump ended up mixing economic policy-specific details into rambling remarks that covered his list of familiar grievances, particularly against his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, who he called “dumb as hell.” At one point, he insisted that if she were elected, the whole country “will end up being like Detroit.” 
Trump’s appearance at the MotorCity Casino Hotel’s Soundboard laid out what his campaign called the “Build It In America Plan,” which he said would result, improbably, in countries like China and Mexico shipping manufacturing jobs to the United States. 
Trump was introduced by John Rakolta Jr., chair of construction firm Walbridge and a Detroit Economic Club board member, who served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates from 2019 to 2021. 
“Having had the honor of working for President Trump, I can assure you that he’s exactly the kind of person who wanted over the battlefield,” said Rakolta. “A man of conviction, no fear, the tip of the spear, and a man who gets things done.”
