President
Trump Gets Very Warm Welcome in MI
President Trump was in Washington Township, Michigan
and conducted a rally for supporters Saturday night while the annual White
House Correspondents' Dinner was being held in Washington, D.C.
My wife and I attended along with about 10,000 [or
more] other area residents. The venue
was small and rural and despite the area’s nickname of the ‘Motor City,’ it is
a bear to get around in but thankfully it wasn’t within Detroit city limits as
most of the freeways are torn apart for construction.
It was a long day with a lot of standing and waiting
in long lines and unless you were with the press or among the chosen few, there
was no seating either as the venue was rather small and many attendees were not
able to make it inside the building before the fire marshal decided the its
quota of people had been reached. By the
end of the program my legs were killing me and I was happy to be sitting in our
vehicle for an hour and half during the time it took for officials to finally
clear the president and begin allowing us mere mortals back onto the roads.
Too bad I gave up drinking 15 years ago as I sure
thought long and hard about a rum and coke at that stage!
The crowd was particularly enthusiastic and the
President received round after round of applause.
President Trump received a cheer of "Nobel!
Nobel!" while talking about a deal to denuclearize North Korea.
It was the first time my wife had ever attended a
Presidential rally/speech and she was star-struck. [I’m older and have attended events with
President Nixon and with Libertarian author and candidate Harry Browne who I
campaigned for].
We know a fair amount of area politicians and
residents but didn’t run into anyone we knew but we were both disappointed when
Trump endorsed Attorney General Bill Schutte for the next Michigan governor…neither
one of us nor anyone we know can stand him.
I knew the former governor of MI, Jennifer Granholm, on a professional basis even though our
politics didn’t match. We’ve tried
dealing with him on issues in the past and found him to be ineffective and
stand-offish and feel there are better candidates.
Once I finish my fundraising effort for the VFW I plan
on devoting time to a campaign to overhaul Michigan’s outdated and unfair ‘no-fault’
automobile insurance scheme which benefits insurance firms, lawyers and
hospitals but not consumers…Michigan has the highest premiums in the nation and
has had such for years and while it has its supporters, it is a rip-off which
offers no choice to consumers.

I'm jealous-wish I had gone!
We did attend and everyone was well behaved and there were very few disruptions [except to traffic which was lined up for miles in every direction...MI sucks when it comes to its roads and they should have had better management of traffic by police].
