Trump to face protests during visit to Macomb County this week
While Trump will manage to dodge Washington's media elite when he skips the White House Correspondents Dinner this week in exchange for a visit to Macomb County — he won't escape his haters on the ground.
As anticipated, anti-Trump organizers are coordinating a protest to coincide with Trump's second visit to Michigan as president. So far, at least two events are scheduled for Saturday outside of the Washington Township location where he'll be.
An event called Protest Trump: No Hate In Our State, will be hosted by the Metro-Detroit Political Action Network, Great Lakes AntiFa, By Any Means Necessary, and several other groups. That gets underway at 5 p.m. outside the Total Sports Park, where Trump supporters are to gather starting at 4 p.m. for the president's evening speech. BAMN has also created a Facebook event for a smaller protest to start earlier in the day, at 2 p.m.
"Macomb County is once again being targeted as the GOP turning point for Michigan," the "No Hate In Our State" event invitation reads. "We all will be showing up in demonstration that most in our state do NOT support the Trump agenda. All decent people regardless of political affiliation have reason to attend and speak out with a unifying voice: NO HATE IN OUR STATE!"
