“The whole country’s gonna be like– you wanna know the truth?” (Trump) said. “It’ll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president aware… We’re a developing nation, too. Just take a look at Detroit. Detroit’s a developing– Detroit’s a developing area, hell of a lot more than most places in China.”

“It is a constant Republican refrain for many years that these large American cities that have decades of history of electing Democrats and that have poor economic outcomes, or poor crime outcomes, or poor education outcomes, it’s because of the local leadership,” (GOP strategist, meaning Moscow Mitch-n-Baby Doc Bush spokesturd, Scott) Jennings said. “And so I think the point he was making is maybe we can do something different than just keep electing the same Democrats who’ve hurt these cities.

CNN commentator Ashley Allison had a markedly different take.

“Donald Trump wanted to say, ‘Detroit equals Black.’ That was a code word that he just did. And I would say, if you go to the city of Detroit, the revitalization of downtown Detroit, Detroit has been pretty substantial. Is it all the way back to where it was when it was booming? No, but the investment and local Detroit is real.”

“I have to say, when I see what Democratic politicians say about Donald Trump, when I see what Democratic commentators say about Donald Trump, and their platform is built on a bunch of lies, frankly, that are designed to radicalize a political base, it makes me wonder … How much do they really care about the violence that you and I both agree is terrible?” Jennings asked.

He called out the Harris campaign for fearmongering about what the country would look like if Trump becomes president again.

“The underpinning of her campaign, I mean, she repeats it herself, ‘Trump will be a dictator on day one.’ I mean, this country fights dictators. That‘s what our history — we fight dictators,” he said while the panel erupted to protest that it was true.”
