Donald Trump might not remember where he is right now so here’s a quick reminder about what Detroit’s all about. This is the greatest city in the country & we’ve bounced back after Trump killed our jobs, closed our businesses, & tried to throw out our votes. #Detroit threw Trump

Trump is 100% against Detroit. Trump is 100% wrong for Michigan. Trump is 100% only it for himself. Trump is 100% not in this for you. Trump is 100% not the future we need.

Where do I order my "Detroit vs. Everybody" shirt? One for me, one for @KamalaHarris.
Trump slams Detroit in Detroit, saying if Harris wins "The the whole country is going to be like. you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit. you're going to have a mess on your hands.".

The social media post from Rep. Shriver is racist and it gives air to a dangerous narrative that inflames violence. His reckless actions do not align with the Michigan House of Representatives — hate has no place in our house or our state.

If I’m @GovWhitmer and the Michigan Dem Party, I plaster this on everything — billboards, TV ads, etc. He insulted the entire city and it isn’t the first time. He’s invalidated Detroit voters countless times, and instructed his people to riot in Detroit over the vote count in
