Sounds good. I agree.
Are you the Mayor of Flint?
Flint is Flint’s problem.
Not the nation’s and barely Michigan’s.
As for Michael Moore....nope.
I live in Michigan.
Flint is a hole. The water crisis reached national attention because the left wanted to get rid of our Republican Governor.
Flint should be no ones priority with the exception of attorneys prosecuting the local democrat political scum that caused the crisis.

Let’s move away from the idea that the POTUS needs to inject himself into every problem like Obama does...
It’s a state problem, they can clean up their own messes...on their dime...
The best thing Trump will do for Flint and MI as a whole is trashing NAFTA, TPP, TISA, etc.
I’d be very surprised if Ford is not on Trump’s shitlist.
He can start by holding the dems who caused this criminally liable.
Why does the water quality in one city have to be the job of the president of the United states..?
it’s completely ridiculous.
It’s like me saying my car is dirty, the President should wash my car.
there are A LOT of things that are not the job of the president of the USA.
I can’t believe this was even posted.
A case for helping Flint...you help your friends and punish your enemies. Flint may or may not have voted for Trump (I have no idea), but Michigan as a whole flipped to Trump. Better there than some town in New York or California. (my apologies to Freepers behind the lines)
It’s probably not worthwhile to micro-target problems because a) he’ll never get recognized for it by the press but also b) we want to help everyone. He has the bully pulpit now, is the best branding/advertising president that we’ever had and can speak through the press propaganda.
In short, let’s just implement conservatism coast-to-coast and let him and the results do the talking.
“Shovel Ready!” And now we have a President who actually knows which side of a shovel is up!
Also, I’d be more inclined to have Trump speak to ways his policies are going to help black America (as well as others). When people see results and associate them with his message, we’ll have him around for 8 years.
I agree and said as much myself. I said if he can pull off helping a depressed liberal city pull itself out of its hole, it would begin a revolution that could save this nation.
I hope he has something brilliant he can bring to bear on these cities, because the people there have completely given up. How do you help a completely defeated people. I just don’t know. I hope he does.
While I understand the arguments against, this is an issue of compassion and grace and mercy.
This would shut up a lot of critics and go a long way towards locking up Michigan for the next election.
Get it done ahead of schedule and under budget. This is a one time infrastructure project and would be a perfect showcase for what Trump is really all about.
This is not the situation to be vindictive.
Is Flint a sanctuary city?
No federal funds. Period.
The democrats of Flint can clean up their own mess. They don’t need my tax money.
So the American taxpayer should be on the hook to replace all the private plumbing in Flint...?
Bottom-line though(for ALL these projects) unless there is a realistic plan for revitalization....is it worth it?
Roadways, waterways, airports...infrastructure for the masses...yes, a necessity, and long overdue(mostly due to waste/fraud/ignorance elsewhere)...but it has to be budgeted properly(you want/need this?...sorry, no more that)and with materials Made-In-America, by Americans, for Americans...not globalist puppet-masters and their serfs.
I work in Flint. There is a lot of potential there. It is becoming a college town (U of M; Kettering University; MSU medical school). Many of the crime-ridden areas are depopulating—they have gone from 4 public high schools to 1 in the past 20 years. Surrounding area is nice, too. Trump could score easy points there.
