While Joe Biden was in Los Angeles trying to garner financial support from Hollywood elites, Jimmy Kimmel reportedly remarked that former President Donald Trump doesn’t care about ordinary people. Meanwhile, Trump was in Detroit meeting with everyday citizens, including Black voters at a church. This highlighted another moment where the Biden team’s actions seemed disconnected from reality.
Trump has been actively engaging with people even in traditionally Democratic areas like the South Bronx and Detroit. This strategy appears to be making a significant impact, as polls now show Trump leading in traditionally blue states like Minnesota and Virginia, which is surprising to many.
However, considering the broader context, it’s not entirely unexpected. Joe Biden’s administration has faced numerous challenges, from the withdrawal from Afghanistan to border issues and economic concerns. These problems have negatively affected many Americans, who now seek change and remember better times under Trump’s leadership. This is why there is a strong interest in hearing from Trump, and his visit did not disappoint. People were appreciative of his engagement.
Former President Trump participated in a roundtable discussion at a church in Detroit on Saturday afternoon, aiming to connect with Black voters.
During the event, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell of 180 Church expressed his gratitude for Trump’s visit, noting that neither President Obama nor President Biden had engaged with the community in a similar manner. Sewell mentioned that while Obama never visited the inner-city neighborhoods and Biden attended high-profile events like the NAACP dinner, neither had made direct visits to their community. Sewell’s remarks were met with applause from the audience.
In contrast to Biden, who often seems to speak at Black voters and pander during his events, Trump engaged directly with the attendees at the roundtable, listening to their concerns and discussing their needs. Trump addressed issues such as the impact of illegal immigration on the community, a pressing concern for Detroit, which has been significantly affected. His promise to tackle this issue received strong approval from those present.
Carlos Chambers, a community leader, veteran, and 30-year USPS employee, expressed deep frustration over Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which led to the deaths of 13 young American soldiers. Chambers emphasized the need for Trump’s return to office, citing Trump’s commitment to the military. He voiced strong discontent with the current woke direction of the military and made a specific, impactful request during his remarks that resonated powerfully with the audience.
