Trump Does Town Hall Event, Warns American Workers About Kamala Fallout

To the shock of millions, another lunatic tried to assassinate Donald Trump. Funny how nothing like this has happened to Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. Yet the man the media keeps calling “Hitler” keeps seeing maniacs try to rub him out. You’d think liberals would have woken up and realized they are to blame for these attacks.

Unless, of course, they want crazies to come after the former president. Despite these attacks, Trump refuses to back down. He is continuing his campaign, building momentum into November.

Just a few months ago, Trump faced a similar threat in Pennsylvania. But as always, Trump emerged unfazed, dusting off the danger with a quip: “Only consequential presidents get shot at.” It’s classic Trump, bouncing back and ready for more.

Tuesday marked his triumphant return to the campaign stage in Michigan, standing alongside former press secretary turned Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. If anything, these attacks seem to embolden him further. With a rally planned in New York and another in North Carolina, Trump is full steam ahead—keeping his focus on what he sees as the key to saving American jobs.

From The Hill:
Former President Trump sat down with his former press secretary and the governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, for a town hall event Tuesday in Michigan…

“If a tragedy happens and we don’t win, there will be zero car jobs, manufacturing jobs. It will all be out of here,” he added…

“The fake news likes to say, ‘Oh he was rambling.’ No, no — that’s not rambling. That’s genius,” Trump said of his own comments. “When you can connect the dots. Now, Sarah, if you couldn’t connect the dots, you got a problem. But every dot was connected. And many stories were told in that little paragraph.”

At the town hall in Flint, Michigan, Trump didn’t mince words. He painted a bleak picture for the auto industry under Biden’s leadership, claiming that the push toward electric vehicles would leave the country with zero car jobs.

“If I don’t win, you will have no auto industry within two to three years. It will all be gone,” he warned. His proposed solution? Ramp up gasoline production and hit foreign car manufacturers with hefty tariffs. Sure, the data might not back him up—auto jobs increased under Biden—but Trump has never been one to let the facts get in the way of a good story. He speaks to the heart, not the spreadsheet.

While some may say his speeches ramble, Trump stands by his methods. His infamous off-the-cuff style was on full display, bouncing from one topic to another, connecting dots only he can see.

But in his words, that’s not “rambling,” that’s genius. Whether he’s warning about the dangers of electric cars or brushing off climate change with a joke about oceanfront property, Trump always keeps his audience on their toes. His ability to stay in the spotlight despite the odds is nothing short of remarkable. And in true Trump fashion, he always finds a way to turn the conversation back to what he believes matters most—Trump.

With Sanders by his side, the stage is set for Trump’s comeback tour. Her presence signals a campaign strategy aimed at the heart of his base, using prominent surrogates like Sanders to connect with voters.

As Trump forges ahead, there’s no sign that assassination attempts, political rivals, or even the so-called fake news will slow him down. In fact, they may be fueling his drive. One thing is clear: Trump is not going anywhere, and for his supporters, that’s exactly what they want.

Key Takeaways:

  • After a second recent assassination attempt, Trump remains undeterred, using these incidents to strengthen his resolve and continue his campaign.
  • Trump returned to the campaign trail in Michigan, where he warned about the auto industry’s collapse if he loses, and criticized Biden’s push for electric vehicles.
  • Trump defended his off-script, spontaneous speech style, calling it “genius,” while utilizing key figures like Sarah Huckabee Sanders to energize his base as part of his comeback strategy.
