The Democratic debates are in Detroit this week. This brings up the question: Will Trump win again in Michigan in 2020? I read that during this coming week, a GM plant in Warren will close. This will be one of 5 GM plants scheduled to close in 2019. There is also one in Detroit-Hamtramck on the list. Given that Trump campaigned in 2016 of bringing auto work back to the U.S., shouldn't the voters in Michigan vote against him in 2020?
Besides hammering at each other this week, the Democratic candidates should point this out in Michigan: Obama and the Democrats saved GM and now GM is closing factories under Trump's watch. I always say the president have limited ability to control the economy. But the idea that Trump and the GOP are on the side of the auto workers is absurd. I ask the people in Macomb county: Would the GOP have bailed out GM for sure? Has Trump done anything for the auto industry since he took office? You may not care about the Mueller probe or Trump's racist comments. But what about you pocketbook?
"Love it or leave it", that is what Trump is telling people whom he says are criticizing America. Never mind that Trump criticized everything about America when he was running. He even called the FBI acting like Nazis. But of course, this type of rhetoric occurred during the anti-communists era. Conservatives also used this phrase against antiwar protesters in the 60s. But isn't the ability to criticize the country fundamental to democracy? So it is Trump and his supporters who are against what this country stands for. That maybe why Trump likes Putin so much!
