Although Wittir’s meeting was It aims to call for SilveridjA deep gap was revealed inside Democratic PartyOne that Trump’s visit can threaten to expand its scope.
A source inside the Wittam office said that the ruler has repeatedly stated that she “does not agree with much of what Trump did in his first 100 days and there will be no support for that,” but she does not agree with the ranks of democracy.
Local leaders applaud the investment

Before the visit, the advertising boards were reinforced via Makomb Province, which limits the Auckland and Wayne boycott, Silfredge and prominently appeared both Hakil and Miller.
“We talked about these fighters,” Hakil said. “There is no doubt that Silfredge is the right place for that. Michigan, whether it is the former ruler, being Rick Snyder, Republican, or the current ruler – understood the importance of self -chains here in our backyard.”
“There is no elected, governmental or local official, along with the general public in all defense and military industries here, does not support fighting for the fighters, and obtaining the task of replacement.” The last Whitmer appeared at the White House also strengthened, saying it helped stimulate momentum and almost pushed Trump to issue an advertisement even before.

On Monday, US Senate members of Michigan Gary Peters and Elisa Sluttin Participated in a letter to Trump urging him to build a new fighter mission in Silfredge. In January, the couple described the choice of the American Air Force from Selfridge as a host of a new squadron of 12 KC-46A for fuel.
“Silfredge enjoyed the support of the two parties from the Michigan delegation in Congress, government and local leaders and the Makomb Province community to redraw the A-10 in the fighter squadron 107 with an advanced fighter,” said Peters and Sluttin. “Your announcement is an important step towards achieving our long goal, and we are ready to work with you, and the Ministry of Defense and Air Force to determine and establish a new advanced fighter mission in Selfridge.”
Newsweek Both Senators arrived before Trump’s visit.
The credit for the two parties from the two parties to continue the pressure for aircraft in Silfredge, especially because of the retired A-10S soon. She said that the Trump administration was doing something that was the previous administration in the era of the former president Joe Biden Not possible.
Miller said: “Frankly, I will tell you the truth because I was part of these discussions: The Biden Administration and the Minister of Air Force told us,” It is not in the cards. This does not happen. You don’t get a fighter mission in Selfridge. ”
“So, we have been closed. We were all fully convinced that this would be the end. But now with this administration, it is not the end. In fact, it’s the beginning.”
She said that the need provides a strategic opportunity not only for the region and the state, but the nation. This may mean working with Canadian partners on the northern border, or simply enhances defense against opponents such as China and Russia.
Miller said: “We are in a really ideal position to take advantage of ourselves, and most importantly, how we are and still are for generations an important component in our national position,” Miller said.
Some Democrats focus on the results – but the tensions remain with the progressive
Cortis Hertel, head of the Michigan Democratic Party, said the state’s Democrats “have repeatedly proven that they have never abandoned their values and are always ready to do what it takes to achieve Michiganders.”
“Leadership means appearing and calling for our great state to bring jobs and rest for countless families, and our leaders walk in walking,” Hertel said. “Let’s be clear: Democrats in Michigan have achieved historical gains to pass a policy that affects the need, including breakfast and free lunch, prevention of armed violence, reproductive and gay rights, tax reduction, and much more help Michiganders every day.
“We understand that when we unite behind a strong message, I focused on Jeep Michiganders, we can win every corner of this state, up and down in the poll.”
But despite the Democrats’ focus on the institution on concrete gains, the sounds on the progressive left remain deeply skeptical of any association with Trump – and they see Silveridj’s Declaration as a political theater that does little to address deeper economic anxiety.
“It was a frankly economic catastrophe, especially for people in Makomb Province,” said Mark Burur, who spent nearly 20 years as head of the Democratic Michigan Party. “Car specialists, factories have been demobilized in the closing process, and the production that moves to Mexico. He did not stop anything from this – and if there is anything, it has become worse.”
When asked about Peters and Slotkin – whom the latter wrote on Monday on X about working together “for the country” – BreWer said he hoped that Democrats would be stricter.
“You don’t get anywhere by throwing this man [Trump]Bruer said. It is bullying. And if you try to put it, it returns to more. You are dealing with fatwas by standing in front of them. And I hope the Democrats will do more. “

Bruer also said that Silfredge’s announcement would not prevent Michigan workers from losing their jobs due to the tariff – or factories from moving to Mexico.
“Because of his economic chaos, I am sure that he will try to pay attention to people today with some shiny ornaments. Maybe he will say,” Oh, we will give you some fighter aircraft in Selfridge. “But this does not put food on the table, does not pay the rent, nor does it provide social security checks.
Jenna Keeler, Vemen and Director of Communications at the FEMS of DEMS, a group based in Michigan, has repeated the voters’ appetite, this feeling.
“On a broader scale, Democrats should not be legitimized or cooperating with Trump-even in limited contexts focused on the state,” said Keeler. “He has repeatedly shown that he does not act in good faith. You cannot negotiate with a person who uses public resources as political weapons and undermines democracy routinely. There is nothing like” natural “policy with fascism.
Republicans take credit
Michigan’s Republican Congress member John James had a different message from Silfredge.
“Congressing member John James was a violent hero of the Selfridge National Guard Base from the first day, as he was unabated for his strategic role as part of our national security,” said communications director Hana Osantovsky. “Congress member James requires the president’s agenda to make America fatal again, which includes ensuring that the National Guard Guard in Michigan has the resources and support they need to protect our nation.”
She added: “Part of this strong call with the president and the defense minister to re -draw a fighter mission in Silfredge included any momentum, that is, a victory, comes directly from President Trump’s solution to iron.”
