The press wasn't interested in that part of the trip, though. Instead, they've spent the last few days obsessing over the fact that some KKK members once marched in Howell. Naturally, that means Trump must be showing some form of tacit support for white supremacy.
Yes, it's as stupid of a contention as has ever existed, and when Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he was ready. It was a mic drop moment, rhetorically speaking at least.
What the reporter says is largely inaudible, but you can make out that she's asking Trump about visiting a city "linked to white supremacy." The crowd groaned in disapproval for a moment before the former president stepped up to the podium. You could tell that he knew he had her.
TRUMP: Who was here in 2021?
REPORTER: Joe Biden
TRUMP: Thank you. Thank you, everybody
(Cheers)
What Trump is referring to is a visit Joe Biden made to Howell back in 2021. In fact, RedState reported on that visit right after it occurred because protesters showed up to show their displeasure at the president's visit. Was Biden supporting white supremacy when he showed up? That wasn't even a thought in the press' mind because they save such insane stretches of logic for Republicans. //

It was Aishah Hasnie from FOX. She was NOT asking a gotcha question. She told Trump that the Harris campaign was saying this "white supremacy" crap and was curious of Trumps response. She actually helped Trump with the set up. She also had the "Joe Biden" answer to Trump's question.
