    Trump could see a family of his supporters, shoot the child, and the family will love him more. This man can do no wrong and won’t do anything wrong in their eyes.

    I mean, yeah. Lots of shitholes all over. I live in one myself.

    It’s kind of the opposite of “developing” though. All it’s industry got ripped away from it. Nothing got put back. I don’t know why every country thinks it’s OK to have a handful of rich cities and a whole load of former “something” towns.

    “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 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.

    Yet some there who are offended will still vote for him. There is no hope of getting stupid people to change.

    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.

      Stimulants and other drugs will only work for so long. Eventually, even bigger doses won’t help, and there might be a whipsplash effect at some point.

      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?

          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 human creature American specimen. Thoughts on better knuckle placement?

        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.

    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.

    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.

      Do you not understand that it is the people that make any city shit hole? Like, it can’t be blamed on the buildings, the landscape, or the economy. A city isn’t a place, it’s the people. When someone says a city is a shit hole, they ARE insulting the people.
