Trump: 'Detroit is still waiting for Hillary Clinton's apology'
DETROIT _ Calling Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a candidate from the past who will merely continue the policies that have destroyed cities like Detroit, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told a business crowd in Detroit that he is the best agent for change in America.
"The city of Detroit is where our story begins. Detroit was once the once the economic envy of the world," he said. "When we were governed by the America-first policy, Detroit was absolutely booming ... But for many living in this city, that dream has long ago vanished. When we abandoned the policy of America first, we started rebuilding other countries instead of our own. The skyscrapers went up in Beijing while factories and neighborhoods crumbled right here in Detroit."
While Trump's speech was billed as his economic vision for the country, he spent a large amount of his nearly hourlong speech to 1,500 people at the Detroit Economic Club, lashing out against Clinton.
The Democratic Party has reached into the past to select "a nominee from yesterday, who offers the rhetoric of yesterday and the policies of yesterday. There will be no change under Hillary Clinton, only four more years of weakness and President Obama," Trump said. "We'll be looking boldly into the future. That is what our country deserves.
