He pointed to the nations cities with high crime rates and those that have seen clashes between police and protestors this summer during demonstrations against police brutality. While he didnt specifically name Detroit, according to transcripts of his speech, he did lump together the nations most dangerous cities. Trump and his campaign have recently leaned into focusing on crime rates and unrest in places like Detroit hoping it will help him win the outer suburbs. A recent poll released by the Trafalgar Group gave Trump a one-point advantage over former vice president Joe Biden.
