Trump visits Michigan to grope some cars. The one import that's not affected by tariffs is cocaine. And Canadians are very excited about a new bridge. Sorry, a boot, a new bridge. So let's get into headlines.
Let's start in my home state of Michigan, which is Ojibwe for we're saving up to move to Chicago.
Yesterday, President Trump visited a GM auto facility where he Kim Jong-un his way down the display floor, checked to see if a car was cake and apparently got tricked into signing a lease. Donnie, Donnie, don't get that rust proofing, okay? It's a scam, trust me. By the way, I know we always rag on Trump for being weird, but knocking on the car hood is probably the most normal thing he's ever done. There is not a dad in the world who can walk past a new car without wrapping on the hood to check that build quality. You know, like, yeah, that's a car, that checks out. Yeah, yeah. You know what? At least this tour went a lot better than the last time Trump visited a car facility in Michigan back in January, which, if you remember, went like this.
**SPEAKER_3** (1:52)
As the president toured a Ford manufacturing factory, this moment caught on camera in video obtained by TMZ. One man shouting at the president, pedophile protector.
**SPEAKER_4** (2:04)
Wow.
**Jordan Klepper** (2:05)
Show some respect for the office. That's president pedophile protector. Come on, Michigander. Look, it was an embarrassing event for all involved. Luckily, this time, Trump made it through his whole tour without a hitch, and he was able to move on to his speech.
**Donald Trump** (2:24)
The trade deficit in automobiles was more than $300 billion annually. That means outside countries and companies were coming in and just robbing us blind, and it was causing tremendous problems for your jobs. But now, all of that is changing because I placed this...
**Jordan Klepper** (2:43)
Oh, why does this keep happening?
Is it the same guy? Is it something in the water? Is it because Trump withheld millions of Epstein files and people are furious that no one has been held accountable for it? We'll never know! But come on, Donald. This will not stand. Hit him with a comeback.
**Donald Trump** (3:02)
He's a communist. He's a communist.
**Jordan Klepper** (3:05)
Oh. Okay. If you're wondering, communist is the opposite of pedophile.
We all remember watching Karl Marx hosting To Catch a Predator. So, I mean, maybe this is the political spectrum now. Like, I'm just a straight-down-the-middle type of guy. Fiscally communist, socially pedophile. Look, my fellow Michiganers, please stop shouting crazy shit at Donald Trump. He was elected to shout crazy shit at us. Let's continue.
**Donald Trump** (3:35)
For years, you watched companies move production from America down to Meheho.
**Jordan Klepper** (3:47)
I'm sorry. Down to where?
**Donald Trump** (3:50)
Meheho.
**SPEAKER_7** (3:51)
Oh. Oh.
**Jordan Klepper** (3:55)
He's saying it that way on purpose.
Next question. Why?
**Donald Trump** (4:00)
There's a very nice president of Mexico. You know that. She's very nice, and she speaks beautifully, and she calls it Meheho.
**Jordan Klepper** (4:07)
Oh.
Please meet with China next week. Please meet with China next week. Please meet with China next week. While Trump is ranting about Meheho, just down the road, they're opening a new international trade route between the US and Canada, or as Donald Trump calls it, Kana-ha. It's called the Gordie Howe International Bridge. It connects Michigan and Ontario in a symbolic, unifying moment between the two countries.
**SPEAKER_9** (4:40)
Today was supposed to be this unifying moment between the two countries, but instead, it's sort of dripping with a stain, and that's because at the 11th hour, Trump imposed this 50 percent tariff. They were actually supposed to have a joint ribbon cutting between the two countries. Instead, Canada hosted their own without a single US elected official in sight.
**Jordan Klepper** (5:05)
It's so heartbreaking to see mom and dad fighting like this. And to the bridge, it's not your fault. Think of it this way, little Gordie, you get to have two Christmases, okay?
And even if Trump isn't excited for this bridge, Michiganders are. And that's why Michigan's local news offered rudimentary bridge driving tips. And I mean very rudimentary.
**SPEAKER_10** (5:31)
MSP pushed out an important warning for anyone who plans to use the new bridge. First, check this out, don't stop on the bridge or exit your vehicle.
**Jordan Klepper** (5:45)
Great tip. You know, let me write this one down. Stay in car while driving. Great, awesome. Thank you, Andre 1000 Appreciate it.
