(Full title: 'Don't come back': Trump triggers outrage for bashing Detroit — at an event in Detroit)
***
He'd best take care...lol...he so thinks he's got MI in the bag w/enough White voters that he can flagrantly diss Detroit (with nonWhite population about 88%) with impunity...

Former President Donald Trump took the opportunity, while giving a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, to bash the city of Detroit, and warn that if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris, all of America could end up looking like Detroit.
"I don't think anything that we're talking about today is high on her list," he opined. "The whole country is going to be like — you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit."
This derogatory treatment of the second-largest Midwestern city — and one of the largest metropolitan areas in a swing state — where he resided as he attacked it, earned prompt astonishment and outrage from commenters on social media, much as it did when Trump called Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a "horrible city" mere days before the GOP hosted its presidential convention there.
"I represent Detroit in Congress," said Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI). "Detroit is a city with a booming economy, diverse culture, and some of the best people in America. Donald Trump: keep Detroit and our people out of your mouth. We will elect Kamala Harris."
"Always smart to insult an important swing state," said writer Thor Benson.
"Imagine standing in Detroit and saying 'vote for me so you don't end up like this place' lmao," wrote transit activist Hayden Clarkin.
"As a proud elected representative of tens of thousands of Detroiters: F--k this guy. Don’t come back," wrote Michigan state Senate Majority Whip Mallory McMorrow.
"Mmm, I wonder what it is about Detroit he doesn’t like …" wrote national security attorney Bradley Moss, accompanied by several screenshots of articles talking about Detroit's economic recovery and development boom in recent years.
"'Thanks for inviting me to your craphole city, I'm gonna use it as an example of what a failing nation would look like TO YOUR FACES. Anyhoo, vote for me, losers,'" wrote opinion columnist Rex Huppke.

he also has recently insulted Romney and by extension, his republican voters and said he is glad he's out of the party (but Romney's not leaving the Republican party, btw).
"At his latest campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the former president not only referred to the senator as “stupid,” Trump added, “How about him? How do you like having him as a partner? Mitt Romney? Aren’t we glad we are getting him the hell out of here?”"
He sure knows how to gain new voters and bring along old ones, huh?
