WARREN (WWJ) – Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to court black voters in Detroit this weekend, supporters are holding more than two dozen flash mobs across the state.
In metro Detroit, the flash mobs are happening at 4 p.m. Tuesday in several locations: 8 Mile and Haggerty (Meijer) in Northville; Rochester Road just north of M-59 (Lowes) in Rochester Hills; Pontiac Trail and M-5 in Commerce Township; M-59 and Bogie Lake Road (Meijer) in White Lake; Telegraph and 12 Mile (Meijer) in Southfield; 12 Mile and Van Dyke in Warren; 23 Mile and Gratiot (Meijer) in Chesterfield; Telegraph and Stewart (Meijer) in Monroe; Ann Arbor Road and Haggerty in Plymouth; and Telegraph and Champaign in Taylor.
At each location, volunteers will rally and show Trump signs to commuters. Oakland County Co-Chair for the Trump Campaign Meshawn Maddock says the “make-your-own-sign event” is a chance to reach out to people who aren’t active at the ballot box.
“We’re calling it a flash mob sign rally and basically we’re just gathering on really busy intersections and just showing people that are out there that may not be as politically minded that hey, we’ve got an election coming up,” Maddock told WWJ’s Dave Ramos.
Maddock said she got the idea for homemade Trump signs because nobody can seem to find them around here.
“Part of our thought process is let people make their own signs,” she said. “We’ve got ‘Honk for Trump,’ ‘Women for Trump, ‘ Hillary Clinton: Lock her up.'”

The billionaire businessman is visiting Great Faith Ministries in Detroit, a predominantly black church, where he’s expected to talk about education, unemployment, and safety. Experts say the visit is meant to dispel the fears of suburbanites in swing state Michigan about Trump’s commitment to black causes.
Is that Group Health right across the street?
Not likely in most of those areas.
Not familiar with the area??
This is a long time tradition here in Hawaii. We “sign wave” every morning and afternoon at different locations to let the commute traffic get our message. It is a kick for us and the commuters also basically like it too. I say basically because we do occasionally get third finger salutes.
If you haven’t done it...as the saying goes, “try it, you’ll like it”
Is the large group on the left the cops that the bitch mayor wouldn’t allow to fight back?
Sad.
.
Assuming they can keep the gangs (and that includes Killary “supporters” (read, paid rabble rousers)) under control, should be a worthwhile event that pays dividends.
Left the communist state of western WA two years ago to live in northern Michigan. I spent 28 years out there though...mostly south of Seattle and on the Long Beach peninsula.
The flash mobs should be organized to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” while holding Trump signs.
I loved the one in the shopping mall at Christmas when the flash mob “shoppers” all stopped and sang “The Hallelujah Chorus”. Gorgeous.
I showed up at the one in Plymouth about 45 minutes after it started. I tried to count to see how many were there and would say there were about 100. It’s a busy intersection. Lots of honking and a few rude hand gestures.
Someday. No pun intended, because I work nights. Sometimes 12-hour shifts. It’s just work, shower, eat, sleep, repeat, then.
