AmericaJR.com’s Jason Rzucidlo reports from Cobo Center for a special meeting of the Detroit Economic Club featuring Donald Trump. The Republican presidential nominee delivered a speech titled “An America First Economic Plan: Winning the Global Competition.” He called for tax reforms, cutting regulations, ending job killing inversons, allowing parents to deduct child care from their taxes and eliminating the death tax. An estimated 2,500 people attended the sold out event. One-by-One, a total of 14 protestors were removed from the address.
