Former President Donald Trump held a town hall in Flint, Michigan, where he focused on revitalizing the U.S. auto industry and criticized current economic policies. He proposed imposing a 200% tariff on imported vehicles from Mexico and emphasized the need for protectionist measures to bring auto plants back to the U.S., claiming that without his leadership, the industry would suffer significantly. Trump also reiterated his opposition to electric vehicles, arguing that China would dominate due to superior resources, while he expressed concerns about the viability of current battery technology. This appearance was his first since a recent assassination attempt, during which he praised the Secret Service and highlighted the heightened security at the event. While Trump’s supporters expressed strong loyalty, Democrats criticized his past economic policies, claiming they led to job losses in Michigan. The event was moderated by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and attended by enthusiastic supporters from various regions.
