President Donald J. Trump delivered a fired-up America First message on Tuesday in Macomb County, Michigan, marking the first 100 days of his historic second term with a powerful speech that made it clear: the era of globalist giveaways is over.
Before a packed and energized crowd, Trump wasted no time going after the corrupt political establishment that he says has sold out the American people for decades.
“We’re taking back our country from a sick political class that got rich selling America out and bleeding America dry. We don’t let that happen anymore,” Trump declared, drawing loud cheers from the audience.
Detroit vs. Beijing: A Clear Choice
Trump spoke directly to Michigan’s hardworking families, especially those in and around Detroit, who’ve watched politicians sell out American jobs to countries like China for cheap labor and big donor kickbacks.
“After decades of politicians who destroyed Detroit to build up Beijing, you finally have a champion for workers in the White House, and instead of putting China first, I’m putting Michigan first, and I’m putting America first,” Trump said.
For too long, American industry has been gutted while foreign economies flourished. Trump reminded voters that under his leadership, that disastrous trend is being reversed.
🇺🇸 A Real Border Defender
Another key moment in the speech came when Trump addressed national security and border control — issues that helped fuel his stunning return to the White House in 2024.
“After years of leaders who sent your money to defend the borders of distant foreign nations… you finally have a president who is defending our borders and our nation,” he said.
That line struck a chord with voters who’ve watched billions of taxpayer dollars go toward protecting Ukraine, Gaza, and other faraway places, while our own southern border remained wide open under Joe Biden.
🚘 Auto Jobs Roaring Back
Trump also brought great news for Michigan’s auto workers. After years of decline in manufacturing and the shipping of plants overseas, Trump says his America First economic policies are bringing factories and jobs back — and fast.
“I love this state, and a lot of auto jobs coming. Watch what’s happening,” he said. “The companies are coming in by the tens… They all want to come back to Michigan and build cars again. You know why? Because of our tax and tariff policy.”
He credited his administration’s removal of Biden’s electric vehicle mandate — a policy that many say crushed auto workers and burdened manufacturers with unrealistic regulations.
“They’re coming from all over the world. They’re coming up and they’re opening up plants, and they’re talking to us all day and all night,” Trump added.
📈 Populist Policies in Action
Trump’s speech was a reminder that while Democrats talk about the working class, he’s actually delivering for them. In just 100 days, President Trump has:
- Imposed tough tariffs on countries that flood our market with cheap goods
- Slashed red tape that was strangling small businesses and manufacturers
- Revoked Biden’s EV mandate, protecting traditional auto industry jobs
- Laid groundwork for major tax cuts to fuel growth and investment
He’s also made it clear that his administration will continue cracking down on illegal immigration, restoring law and order, and prioritizing the needs of American citizens over foreign interests.
Trump’s message in Michigan was clear — the American worker is back at the center of the national agenda. And this time, the political elites aren’t calling the shots. President Trump is.
“You finally have a champion for workers in the White House… and I’m putting America first.”
Stay tuned — more factories, more jobs, and more victories may just be around the corner.
