President Donald Trump tore into his ‘lunatic’ detractors during his rally celebrating ‘100 Days of Greatness’ in Michigan Tuesday, where he touted his efforts to revive U.S. manufacturing.
Flanked by giant signs that read ‘Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!’ and ‘Buy American, Hire American,’ the president noted how he turned the critical swing state red ‘after decades of leaders who have destroyed Detroit to build up Beijing.’
Trump promised the crowd of residents from the Detroit area – the heartland of American automotive manufacturing that has been hollowed out by jobs being sent overseas – that he’s just getting started.
‘Gasoline prices are down by a lot, energy prices are down,’ he proclaimed to the ‘Motor City’ crowd.
Early on in his remarks the 78-year-old took a detractor head-on, calling them out for being a ‘radical left lunatic.’
‘Is that a radical left lunatic? He’s just a child! Get him out,’ he said to applause.
‘Oops, I’m sorry ma’am. I thought you were a guy… I said he and it’s a she. I’m sorry,’ he joked. ‘And now she has to go home.’
A protestor was later escorted out of the rally as they fought with security, video captured by DailyMail.com shows. It’s unclear if it was the individual Trump began ridiculing, who apparently was yelling and swearing at the president during the address.

During the remarks Trump ripped into a ‘lunatic’ protestor and a new Democrat-led attempt to impeach him
The president also took on his enemies in Congress and finally broke his silence on the newest impeachment effort against.
‘What the hell did I do they want to impeach me,’ he asked after mentioning the Democrats’ most recent attempt to remove him.
‘Did I just hear I’m being impeached again?’ he remarked slyly. ‘They’ve gone totally crazy.’
The impeachment bid, launched this week by Michigan Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar, includes over half a dozen articles implicating the president.
The charges include obstruction of justice, bribery, corruption, abuse of power and more.
The impeachment bid is a long shot at best in a Republican-led Congress. It is likely that the effort to oust Trump won’t even get a vote given the GOP control.
‘We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act,’ Thanedar said announcing his articles of impeachment, adding Trump is ‘unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy.’
Trump didn’t just tear into Democrats, though.
‘Every once in a while you have a grandstander Republican,’ the commander-in-chief told the crowd.

‘We have some grandstanders. Not many. Not many. But remember who those grandstanders were and vote them the hell out of office.’
It’s unclear which Republican the president was talking about.
He then dove into more auto-specific policies he has been rolling out, like a proposed 25 percent tariff on foreign-made vehicles and incentives for automakers to manufacture their products in America.
Trump vowed to keep ‘protecting our great American autoworkers.’
‘I’m proud to be the president of the workers, not the outsourcers,’ he said.
The Republican also wanted to share an update on his deportation efforts, telling the crowd how he is getting criminal aliens out of the country as fast as possible.
‘The worst of the worst are being sent to a no-nonsense prison in El Salvador,’ he shared.
He then paused his speech to play a highlight reel for the crowd of migrants getting deported to CECOT, El Salvador’s maximum-security prison where the Trump administration has been shipping deportees.
Trump played a video of his administration’s deportation operations. It showed prisoners, like the one above, being escorted in shackles to the infamous CECOT prison
The video showed deportees getting filed onto buses before they arrive at the prison and have their heads shaved while shackled in their prison garb.
‘Best 100 days of any president,’ Trump proclaimed. ‘And were just getting started.’
The administration’s tariff plans, the president shared, is going exactly to plan.
‘They’re coming from all over the world,’ to make deals, he said. ‘China too.’
The president also remarked how he won’t wait too long to make deals should U.S. trading partners delay in reaching out.
‘If it takes too long, I’ll just set a price,’ he said with a smile.
