US President Donald Trump delivered a campaign-style speech at General Motors' Milford Proving Ground in United States — Michigan on July 27, 2026, less than 100 days before the November midterm elections. He touted his record on investment, job creation, and tax cuts, while attacking Democrats as 'communists' and making false claims about tax rates and the trade deficit. The event highlighted the partisan use of a corporate facility, with GM declining to comment. Trump's approval rating in United States — Michigan has fallen to 33%, and polls show voters are skeptical about his handling of the economy and tariffs. The speech also touched on immigration, the Iran war, and other issues. GM plans to move production of the Chevrolet Blazer from Mexico and add Equinox production in the US, influenced by Trump's tariffs.
