Speaking in Detroit, Trump promoted policies that analysts worry could actually reverse the city's recent progress.
DETROIT ― Donald Trump held a rally here Friday night, promising to rescue the city he has recently held up as a symbol of American decline.
It was in many ways a typical Trump speech before adoring supporters, most of whom waited hours in line to attend.

And that was just one of the ways the site gave Friday’s event a unique flavor.
