Trump Schedules Campaign Event In Grand Rapids On Dec. 21
GRAND RAPIDS (WWJ/AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is planning to campaign in Michigan next week.
The billionaire real estate developer has scheduled a Dec. 21 event at the DeltaPlex Arena & Conference Center in Grand Rapids, according to his campaign website. The event is free people who register in advance on Trump's website.
It will be Trump's second appearance as a presidential candidate in Michigan. In August, the front-runner spoke to more than 2,000 people at a Republican fundraising dinner in Birch Run north of Flint.
Trump urged that, as president, he would work to stop Ford from moving automotive production south of the U.S. border.
"Ford is building a $2.5 billion plant in Mexico," Trump said. "I'll actually give them a good idea. Why don't we just let the illegals drive the cars and trucks right into our country?
"I would say, the deal is not going to be approved, I won't allow it. I want that plant in the United States, preferably here," Trump said.
Michigan's presidential primary is March 8.
