I could see it helping turnout for us in Detroit itself, but it's important to note that, despite the truth being the opposite, many in this state outside of Detroit view it the way Trump described. This is true even in the inner ring suburbs. Racism is a hell of a mental illness.

I have to believe that it's a net negative statewide; it would seem to me that anyone that liked that stuff was already strongly MAGA; undecided voters are undecided for a reason and this stuff can't be helpful to Trump imo
Imo it might actually benefit inner city turnout; pissing people off is not a great political message; I'd also add that Trump has just given a booster to the Democratic GOTV effort by pissing them off into working even harder to show Trump up(we shall see I guess)
The gamble is if it outweighs scaring enough voters to turn-out for Trump. Their campaign says yes. And, it looks cool and macho that he shit talked them in their own city. ItтАЩs a fair assessment. There is also the question of if Trump said that in the calculating manner I described or if heтАЩs just a dumb fuck.
I'm not talking about just Republicans though. There is a lot of hate from the suburbs toward Detroit, and almost all of it is racialized, even if they won't admit it.
Do I think it gains any votes for Trump? No. But I'm skeptical that it loses him any significant number of votes.

I don't think it helps him, but I'm skeptical whether it hurts him all that much, having grown up in the Detroit suburbs.

I am going with, he's just a dumb fuck
Republicans in EVERY state hate their state's biggest city. Those people are already Trump voters.
This will help us turn out our voters and will turn off some educated suburban voters
