Donald Trump promises Detroit a 'stunning rebirth'

During his rally at Huntington Place in Detroit, Donald Trump argued that bad economic policies had "decimated" Detroit "as if by a foreign army". He assured that there will be a "stunning rebirth" for the city if he gets elected as president in November. 

The GOP nominee asserted, "This is the real comeback. This isn't artificial stuff."

Trump also called Harris "not a smart person" and boasted about his plans to use tariffs on products imported into the US to boost auto manufacturing in places like Michigan. Fawning over the word "tariff," he exclaimed, "I think it’s more beautiful than love, the word tariff."

Donald Trump cancels events and interviews citing exhaustion

Donald Trump recently canceled a streak of events and scheduled interviews, including ones with NBC News and CNBC News. His campaign cited reasons such as "scheduling conflicts" and the GOP nominee being really exhausted, according to Yahoo News.

Earlier this month, he withdrew from his planned appearance on CBS’s '60 Minutes' as his campaign disagreed with live fact-checking. The outlet added that despite the cancelations, Trump has been active in many events such as a campaign rally in Pennsylvania that turned into a musical fest and a Fox News town hall. 

In a statement, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "President Trump has been running laps around Kamala Harris on the campaign trail and has sat down for nearly three times as many interviews as she has. President Trump has more energy, and a harder work ethic, than anyone in politics."

"This man is not physically or mentally up to the grueling job that is the presidency," remarked a person, while someone else expressed, "So when are we dubbing the name Drowsy Don?"
