Former president Donald Trump confronted accusations of racial insensitivity during a campaign stop in Howell, Michigan, on Tuesday, leaving a leftist reporter stunned amid cheers from the crowd.
The counter unfolded in a city that Democrats have recently targeted due to its historical ties to racial extremism.
Kamala Harris’ campaign criticized Trump for choosing Howell for his rally, a city linked with his past affiliations with the Ku Klux Klan.
When a reporter confronted the former president about the rally’s location, Trump redirected the conversation to highlight a significant oversight by his detractors.
“Who was here in 2021?” Trump asked.
“Joe Biden,” responded the reporter, stepping into Trump’s rhetorical snare.
“Thank you,” Trump concluded in a major mic drop moment.
Watch
Trump remembers where Biden was 3 years ago. Biden doesn’t remember where he was 5 minutes ago.

Trump’s visit was a strategic move to discuss policy, specifically criminal justice, which remains a big issue in America.
Trump also took the opportunity to slam Kamala Harris‘ record on criminal justice, aiming to appeal to voters concerned about law and order.
The former president has visited Michigan six times this year.
Trump has confidently stated he is leading Harris “by a lot.”
Below are some reactions:
Yep, epic mic drop!

If they can't even get their facts straight, why should we trust their agenda?
