Detroit’s mayor blasts Trump as phony candidate without solutions

Duggan questions whether Trump is simply using Detroiters as props for an image makeover.

As Donald Trump prepared this morning to visit a Detroit church in a move to appeal to black voters, the city’s mayor questioned whether Trump was simply using Detroiters as props for an image makeover.

"This is the most phony major party nominee that I’ve seen in my lifetime, and that’s why we’re skeptical," Mayor Mike Duggan said at a news conference with Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield "I feel like I'm watching the next season of The Apprentice."

Duggan, a Democrat, spoke mostly to television cameras and a handful of activists gathered on the north side of Grand River across the street from Greater Faith Ministries International, where Trump is scheduled to visit this morning. Detroit Police have Grand River barricaded for about two blocks in front of the church in northwest Detroit, diverting traffic to other roads.

The department's bomb squad truck was parked nearby and Secret Service officers shooed people off the sidewalks in front of the church and told them they'd have to go elsewhere.
