“I keep the suburbs safe. I stopped low-income towers from rising right along the side of their house. I keep the illegal aliens away from the suburbs.”"I don't want to say any particular names of locations, but I can think of a big one in the state. I'd love to have them working there during the election" Trump has falsely claimed that he lost MI because of fraud in Detroit. He wants to intimidate voters IMO.

@samiamsam Those chuckeheads laughed at his little invitation to election day violence. It was really gross.

@futurebird Worth noting that Trump is speaking from the town famous for being Michigan's Klan HQ. The only reason for him to go to Howell at all is to telegraph his campaign's solidarity with violent white supremacists.

@liferstate This seems to be true here is some history of the town from a local paper. https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/livingston-county/2024/07/25/timeline-livingston-countys-complicated-history-with-race/74510078007/

@CoachMark There is bad subtext here. I'm concerned about this notion that sheriffs from another country will go up to Detroit on election day to... to do what?Trump mumbled this whole speech but it could have been from the 70s. And the bad kind of 70s.

@futurebird The town's history and reputation is widely known in Michigan, but I suspect most out-of-state journalists won't pick up on it.

@futurebird WAPO Fact Check: FalseHe said he wanted people working during an election, but did not name any specifics, nor did he request any voter intimidation specifically.🙃

@JoshJers Then why so cagey with the name of the city? Just say "I hope you will all come to Detroit"? I checked to see if it's legal for them to appear in uniform for a campaign event. Looks like it might be for sherifs. Though in NY police absolutely could not do this. https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/can-sheriffs-endorse-candidates-while-in-uniform-this-one-thinks-he-can/

@futurebird sorry I was making fun of WAPO's shitty "fact checking" not actually disputing what you were saying (which is clearly correct)Could have made that clearer

@JoshJers Yeah. It's OK. I just find this very alarming. Yes all of these elements have been here before but not all in the same place. I want to ask what plans are being made to keep voting safe in cities like this in swing states?I have been reading a lot of disquieting history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocoee_massacre

@JoshJers To be fair to the police who were there they were not very excited by what he was saying. They looked totally bored and it was very boring in tone despite the wild stuff he was saying. Maybe they don't want to sign up to be the next round of people who he never gets a chance to pardon or whatever.

@JoshJers I listen to the words people say very carefully. I analyze them so Trump is like a sticky trap for me. I know that's not how he's meant to be ... uh "experienced" but that's the only way I can engage. Maybe the low energy of this event says more than words he was sadly reading. He sounds like he's about to cry.

@griotspeak He might as well just talk about bussing and your daughter dancing to jazz music.

@apophis @JoshJers No that's waaay more engaging than this thing was. Think... Marlon Brando in Apocalypse now only it's morbid racist low energy mumbling about how he loves suburbs and wants a posse to watch those slinky city folk when election day comes. I thought he liked saying stuff like this, but he was NOT having fun.

@futurebird @JoshJers I was wondering about the legality of that. We really shouldn't have law enforcement taking political sides.
