“It’s somewhat of a party atmosphere out here.” Michigan Trump supporters brave Tuesday’s grim weather forecast to see and hear President Trump speak in Lansing, Michigan…just minutes away from Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office.
On Tuesday morning, the President departed the swamp for three major campaign rallies in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska while Sleepy Joe Biden traveled from his basement to Georgia for a single campaign stop to a small group of 38 socially-distanced circles of supporters and media.
With temperatures in the 30s, light rain falling and COVID-19 cases on the rise in the state, the line into the Lansing event at about noon appeared to be longer than the lines for the president’s last two stops in Michigan. He visited Muskegon on Oct. 17 and Freeland on Sept. 10.
Trump took the stage in Michigan just after three o’clock and was quick to share exciting news that polls show the Trump campaign is “up 3 in Michigan.” As the rain continued to pour on his supporters, the President exclaimed, “there is going to be a RED WAVE!”

Trump didn’t hold back in BLASTING Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer saying, “Your governor is a disaster…the only person that’s free in your state is her husband,” referring to Whitmer’s draconian lockdown of Michigan while her husband received considerable backlash for attempting to take his boat out near their cottage.

The President shared his, the First Lady’s, and Barron’s encounter with the China Virus – quickly telling supporters that children have strong immune systems and to “OPEN UP OUR SCHOOLS.”
HUGE cheers in Michigan for Trump's call to "open up our schools."
Joe Biden is ignoring the science and wants to keep our schools shut down. His policy disproportionately harms low income & minority students.

Tuesday’s grim weather forecast gave Michigan Democrats hope that the President’s rally in Lansing would bring smaller crowds than expected, but quite the opposite happened. Trump supporters lined up BEFORE SUNRISE waiting to see and hear the President.

The President also touted last night’s great success. Trump rallied thousands of his supporters saying, “Last night, we made HISTORY and confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court!”
