Warren, me. (AP) – President Donald Trump holds A rally to Michigan to mark on Tuesday The first 100 days His second term when he organized his biggest public event since his return to the White House in a state that was particularly shaken by him Steep trade tariffs And Fighting attitude towards Canada.

Trump makes an afternoon visit to the Selfridge Air National Guard Base for an announcement together with Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. He is expected to speak at a rally at the Macomb Community College north of Detroit to enjoy him sprint To improve government and social, political and foreign policy norms.

Its Republican government Strict immigration policy have sent arrests for illegal crossings along the border between the USA and Mexico sinkAnd Government beam efforts Under the direction of the billionaire consultant Elon Muschus Washington shaken into the core. The protectionist import taxes that were imposed in the American trading partners built and well -kept In the decades after the Second World War.

Trump has also campaigned for the expansionism of US expansionism and refused to rule out military interventions Greenland And Panamaand suggests that American developers could help convert The Warrior leader Gaza Strip In a Riviera-like resort and even the rapprochement of Canada.

“I'm leading the country and the world,” said Trump The Atlantic Magazine In an interview. He told the time of his first 100 days: “I think that what I do is exactly what I classified.”

That doesn't mean it is popular.

Only about 4 out of 10 Americans agree, like Trump Dealing with the presidencyAnd its reviews of economy and trade are lower. In addition, 46% of the US -growing Trump agree Immigration policyWith about half of the Americans that he “went too far” when it comes to deporting immigrants living illegally in the country.

In the meantime, only 33% of the Americans have a positive view of Musk, the CEO of Tesla and the richest person in the world, and about half believed that the government went too far to work on it Pare back the state workforce.

“The final result for the first hundred days is that the basics of our government do a lot of damage,” said Max Stier, founding president and CEO of the partnership for the public service, a non -profit organization that is dedicated to a better government.

Stier noticed that there was “great interest in this idea to make our government more efficient, and what we saw instead is the most important destruction of our core government -capable skills in history”.

Michigan was one of the Battlefield states that Trump turned over From the democratic column. However, it was also deeply affected by its tariffs, including in new imported cars and car parts.

Michigan's unemployment rate has increased for three months in a row, including 1.3% from March to 5.5%, is 5.5% State data. This is one of the highest in the nation, well above the national average of 4.2%.

Car manufacturer Stellantis Stop production In systems in Canada and Mexico after Trump announced a tariff of 25% for imported vehicles and temporarily dropped 900 US employees. Industry groups have asked the White House separately to scrap plans for tariffs for imported car parts, and warn that this could increase the prices for cars and trigger “layoffs and bankruptcy”.

This would apparently make the state a strange choice for Trump to welcome its own achievements.

“I'm not sure if he is even interested in doing the clever thing,” said Bernie Porn, a long -time Michigan onom. “He is what I would call a president on her face.” I will do that. ”

Trump also visits Selfridge, which was founded in Warren after the USA in 1917 and the campus of the Community College. Both are located near the Canadian border and house many people with deep business and personal relationships with this country.

“Michigan always feels very, very positive in the direction of Canada,” said the student, who found that his voters could not react well to the kind of things he did. “

As a rule, presidents use the 100-day brand to start several rallies. But Trump only makes the Michigan stop before giving speech at the University of Alabama on Thursday.

Administrative officers say that the Republican president is most effective in the White House, have meetings and speaks to reporters almost every day. In fact, Trump's speech of the MACMB Community College will be one of the few great personal crowds he has addressed since the tenure day on January 20.

Except on a trip Hurricane damage in North Carolina and Waldbrand devastation in Southern California and Viewing and A speech in Las Vegas This included briefly with players on a casino floor, Trump's early months were marked by little home trips.

The exceptions flew most weekends to the Golf in Florida or participated in sporting events, including the Super Bowl and the Daytona 500, in which Trump enjoyed the crowd but did not speak to them. The limited journey to See Supporters is a great departure from his first term when Trump organized large rallies in Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky before celebrating 100 days in office With a speech in Pennsylvania in 2017.

Whitmer is also in the spotlight, who is often mentioned as the future presidential candidate. Long a Trump critic, Whitmer tried Find common ground With the president recently to visit him in the White House and specifically discuss the future of Selfridge.

Whitmer is concerned about the A-10 aircraft, which is stationed on the basis, although Trump recently said that he hoped to keep Selfridge “open, strong, blooming”.

The Michigan -Wollster found that Whitmer Trump continued to criticize in important topics such as the environment. But he added: “I think more than many other democrats, realizes that the guy is in office, and it is likely to try to try – as far as possible, the things in which you agree – work with him.”
