Trump speaks about his earlier executive order that will ease the impact of his tariffs on US carmakers.
“It’s not so bad,” Trump says of the order in Michigan.
“They’re going to make so much money. They’re going to have so many jobs,” Trump said.
Trump is still going – he’s showing no signs of slowing up – and here are some of the topics he’s managed to cover in the last few minutes:
He’s spoken frequently about his crowd sizes<\/b> – claiming they are bigger than his rivals.
“They’re going to have the biggest crowd they ever had by maybe four or five times,” Trump said, speaking of a venue he was going to be visiting in the near future.
Pete Hegseth<\/b>, the originally controversial pick as secretary of defence, also got a shoutout.
You may know his name from the high-profile Signal group chat leak.
“I have so much confidence in him. The fake news is after him, really after him,” Trump said.
“How are the Houthis <\/b>doing?” he added.
He also introduced a number of guests to speak, if so briefly, with one saying: “Trump 2028 anyone?” – see our 23.46 post for more on three terms.
Trump touches briefly on his tariffs, which have dominated the second half of his first 100 days.
He says China, which is facing tariffs of 145%, “has taken more jobs from us than any country has ever taken from another country”.
“With my China tariffs, we’re ending the greatest job theft in the history of the world.”
He says this does not mean that Beijing and Washington cannot “get along”.
“I think it’s going to work out,” he says. “They want to make a deal. We’re going to make a deal. But it’s going to be a fair deal.”
Trump, whose frequent criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell has at times roiled the financial markets in recent weeks, hits out at him again here in Michigan.
“Interest rates came down, despite the fact that I have a Fed person who’s not really doing a good job, but I won\u2019t say that,” he says.
“I want to be very nice. I want to be very nice and respectful to the Fed,” Trump said.
“You’re not supposed to criticise the Fed. You’re supposed to let him do his own thing. But I know much more than he does about interest rates, believe me,” he added.
Some shouting in the crowd seems to grab Donald Trump’s attention for a moment.
He asks: “What’s the problem over there? Is that a radical left lunatic?”
He then releases the commotion is for a child, who he initially thinks is a boy.
“I’m sorry ma’am. I thought it was a guy,” he adds. “She now has to go home to her mother, who is a big Trump fan.”
The crowd just began chanting: “Three! Three! Three!” at the US president after he spoke about his terms in office.
He has previously alluded to wanting a third term despite it being illegal under the US Constitution.
Trump laughed, smiled and said: “Thank you,” to the chants.
He also repeated false claims of having won the 2020 election.
Trump is running through some of his achievements during his first 100 days, one of which he says is bringing the price of eggs down.
“We have a great election victory and in my first week in office they started screaming at me about the price of eggs,” he says.
He says he put the “very capable” agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, onto the task because he was “getting killed about eggs”.
“She did a great job, and you had so many eggs for Easter,” he says, saying prices are down 87%.
Trump then continues on his savings theme, claiming the price of petrol, groceries and prescription drug prices are all down.
“Everything’s gone down,” he says.
Trump turns his attention to immigration, playing a video on the big screens showing his administration deporting people out of the country.
He accuses the Biden administration of letting “immigrants rape and murder” Americans.
“I can report this heinous betrayal is over”, he says, adding his Alien Enemies Act will expel “every foreign terrorist from our soil”.
“Removing the invaders is not just a campaign pledge, it’s my solemn duty as commander-in-chief,” he adds.
“I have an obligation to do it. To save our country.”
Trump also claims his administration has set “all-time records” for the lowest number of illegal border crossings into the US.
So far, Donald Trump has hit some of his favourite talking points in Michigan.
He’s spoken about his efforts to clamp down on immigration into the US, his predecessor Joe Biden as well as taking shots at courts that have held up parts of his legislative agenda.
Here are some of the latest images from his speech:
Donald Trump now speaks about Kamala Harris, who he says was a “great” presidential candidate.
The comment receives a small smatter of applause, but also a lot of booing from the crowd.
He says Harris was appointed Joe Biden’s “border czar” but nobody at the border “knew a damn thing about her”.
Trump adds that, if Harris won the election, her administration would be “importing the next 10 million invaders and giving amnesty to 30-40 million illegals”.
