In a recent rally in Detroit, former President Donald Trump emphasized the need for voters to participate in the upcoming elections, asserting that the state of Michigan has suffered under the current administration. He urged residents to take advantage of early voting opportunities, stating, \"You gotta get out and vote,\" as he aims to reclaim Michigan for his party.

Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic leadership, claiming they have negatively impacted Detroit's potential and economic stability. He pointed to the decline of the automotive industry, attributing the loss of 40% of Michigan's auto jobs to trade agreements like NAFTA and China's entry into the World Trade Organization. He described the situation as a \"disaster\" for the state, asserting that the city has been \"decimated\" and likening the economic decline to an invasion.

The former president promised a \"Michigan miracle\" if he were to regain office, vowing to bring back manufacturing jobs and restore the city's economic glory. He claimed that under his administration, the U.S. would no longer be taken advantage of by foreign entities, particularly China, which he accused of building auto plants in Mexico that threaten Michigan's economy.

Trump also mentioned a recent conversation with an auto plant builder, suggesting that fears of his return to office have halted construction of a major plant in Mexico. He expressed optimism that, should he win, manufacturing jobs would return to Michigan, revitalizing the local economy and benefiting suppliers and real estate.

As the election approaches, Trump’s rhetoric underscores a broader campaign strategy focused on economic recovery and job creation, particularly in the automotive sector, which he argues is crucial for Detroit's resurgence.
