Maybe hehe can explain the economics of why Trump held a rally in Howell, Michigan yesterday... a population of 10,000 people.
I mean, what are the economics there? Why is a 10,000 people town so important that it gets its own rally from a presidential nominee? Michigan has 10,000,000 people in it, so why go to a town that represents 0.1% of the population for a rally? That seems a bit weird doesn't it?
I wonder why he chose that place?
Oh yah, it's because it's been a hub for KKK actions since the 1970's.
But... economics.
Spoiler!
On July 21, 2024, about a dozen masked white supremacists marched through downtown Howell , chanting "Heil Hitler" and carrying signs with messages such as "White Lives Matter" and "End the War on White Children". They began their demonstration on the lawn of the Livingston County courthouse where in 1994 members of the community symbolically scrubbed the steps following a KKK rally.
Several miles east of Howell at the Latson Road/I-96 overpass in Genoa Township, Michigan pictures posted to a community Facebook group showed demonstrators hanging KKK and Nazi flags over the side of the overpass. One of the photos showed them with a Donald Trump flag, while the Livingston Post uploaded a video made by a passerby in which one of the protestors is heard saying, "We love Hitler. We love Trump."
On July 28, 2024, one week after the white supremacist march, at an anti-white supremacist counterprotest in downtown Howell residents cleansed the sidewalk to symbolically wash away the racism.
On August 20,2024, Donald Trump visited Howell for a campaign speech.
