Former President Donald Trump got candid about his return to Butler, Pennsylvania, following the multiple assassination attempts against him, as well as who he thinks is behind them. During comedian Andrew Schulz’s “Flagrant” podcast, the hosts asked Trump if he was “scared” to return to the scene of the shooting where one supporter was killed and two others severely injured. “No, I’m not scared,” the president replied. “I sort of have an attitude, it is what it is. You do what you have to do. I felt it was important to go back.” “A lot of people agreed with me,” he added, noting the huge turnout, before he cracked a joke about how a person doesn’t usually get that kind of turnout without some kind of musical skills. “And I had no guitar. If you have a guitar, it’s easy,” Trump joked, adding how the crowd went “crazy” when he took the stage and quipped, “As I was saying.” “So, we were at a very serious and somber [event], because we were celebrating a life that is no longer with us, and I wasn’t sure … I wanted to actually finish my speech,” Trump said. “When I got up [after being shot at], I said, ‘Let me finish my speech.’” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “You know, when I went down it was sort of like, embarrassed, I said, ‘I went down in front of all these people, I don’t want to be embarrassed,'” he added, saying it wasn’t a situation he would describe as “surreal” because he was totally aware of everything that had just happened. The former president was pressed multiple times about who he thought could be behind the assassination attempts, before he finally said that he hated answering the question because he doesn’t want to give “any false identities.” “You would look at Iran. Iran has an open threat out for me,” Trump said. “And Biden, if he were a real president … should say, ‘Anybody shoots a former president … we will bomb that country into oblivion.'” “And it would stop,” he added. “There have been people who have been threatened in another party, even … what you have to inform those people is, if they do it, [their] country will be blown to smithereens … and those threats go away.” At one point, Trump also appeared to hit back at a recent New York Times headline that read, “Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age.” Trump said what he does is called “The Weave” and then described it, saying it actually takes a great deal of memory to do it. “You know, I do a thing called the weave,” Trump said. “And there are those who say, ‘Oh this guy is so genius.’ Others who say, ‘Oh he rambles.’” “I don’t ramble,” he added. “What you do, you weave things in. … You need to have an extraordinary memory because you have to come back where you started from. I can go so far here or there. And I can come back to exactly where I started.” The entirety of Trump’s appearance on the podcast can be seen here: Yerr we got Trump on the pod today to break down his stance on abortion, who he really thinks tried to take him out, and his FAVORITE African – American.

As the 2024 presidential race intensifies, Vice President Kamala Harris is facing mounting challenges in securing critical voter turnout in Detroit, particularly among Black male voters. With Michigan’s pivotal role in the upcoming election, the Harris campaign has launched targeted outreach efforts, but concerns persist about whether they are enough to energize a key Democratic base. Harris, who is in a close battle with former President Donald Trump for Michigan, has seen some gains in recent polls. A recent Detroit News/WDIV poll shows her leading Trump by three percentage points (47% to 44%), indicating a tight contest in a state that could decide the election. However, the campaign’s focus is now on driving voter turnout in Detroit, where historically high engagement among Black voters has helped Democrats win the state in previous elections​. The (media) honeymoon is OVER #KamalaHarris campaign is starting to FALL behind in the polls. And ALOT of #Democrats are starting to abandon her! https://t.co/UjVIaMjktM pic.twitter.com/MseqnwSSU5 — Black Alpha Network (@BlackAlphaNetw1) October 2, 2024 Despite the campaign’s efforts, local activists and strategists in Detroit have voiced concerns about the outreach to Black male voters. Some have criticized the campaign for being patronizing or neglecting grassroots organizations that engage directly with marginalized communities. This dissatisfaction mirrors broader discontent in other key swing states, where Harris is reportedly struggling to connect with working-class Black men. Many voters in Detroit are asking for clearer answers about how a Harris administration would improve their economic prospects​. The Harris campaign has implemented traditional tactics like door-knocking and distributing literature in predominantly Black neighborhoods, but it has also tried unconventional approaches, such as local house parties. Nevertheless, there is anxiety that these efforts may fall short. A notable segment of Black male voters feels overlooked, with some expressing doubts about the campaign’s focus on their needs. Issues like job security and economic development are central to these voters, and many are questioning whether the Democratic Party is doing enough to address these concerns​. It's not looking good for Kamala right now .

While Trump still lags behind Harris in support among Black Americans, recent polling shows that his favorability has increased slightly since 2020, particularly among Black men. This shift, though modest, has been fueled by dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party’s policies and frustration over economic issues, such as immigration and job displacement. Harris has made personal appeals to Black men, emphasizing the need to earn their votes rather than assuming their automatic support. In a recent interview, she acknowledged the importance of addressing the specific concerns of this demographic and pledged to continue outreach efforts as the campaign enters its final weeks. However, with Election Day rapidly approaching, it remains unclear whether these efforts will translate into the high voter turnout needed in Detroit​. While Harris continues to court suburban voters and other key constituencies, the focus on Detroit’s Black community is seen as essential for a Democratic victory in Michigan. Historically, when Detroit's voter turnout exceeds 50%, Democrats have carried the state. In 2020, for instance, now-President Joe Biden won Michigan by over 150,000 votes, thanks in part to strong turnout in Detroit. In contrast, Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016 has been partially attributed to lower turnout in the city. As the race enters its final stretch, the Harris campaign is doubling down on outreach to Black voters, bringing in high-profile surrogates like New York Attorney General Tish James to energize supporters. Yet, with polling showing that the race is still extremely close, the pressure is on for Harris to galvanize her base and ensure that Michigan remains in the Democratic column​.
