At a campaign rally in front of thousands of attendees, President Donald Trump spent a chunk of his speech taking aim at Democrats, particularly Sen. Debbie Stabenow.

Trump, who spoke in Macomb County's Washington Township, noted he signed onto a $700-billion U.S. military budget and attacked Democrats for not caring "about our military" or borders.

"I don't think they they care much about crime. We are getting rid of MS-13 in record numbers. The liberal politicians who support criminal aliens...they support them over, far over American citizens...Nancy Pelosi and her gang. They've got to be voted out of office," he said during the 80 minute speech Saturday night.

"And you've got a senator in Michigan, Sen. Debbie Stabenow. She voted against tax cuts. She votes against borders...she wants people to flow through the country, and you people just keep putting her back again."

Tax cuts were a prominent topic during his speech, and one supporters were hoping to hear. But it was also a topic he did not refrain from mentioning that Stabenow "voted against" it.

"If the Democrats get in, they're gonna take the tax cuts away. They're gonna raise the taxes to a much higher level," Trump said.

"Debbie Stabenow is one of the leaders for weak borders. A vote for a Democrat in November is a vote for open borders and crime, it's very simple..it's also a vote for much higher taxes. It's also a vote for be careful of your Second Amendment."

The president also discussed Chrysler moving its Mexico plant to Michigan, which is expected to bring several thousands of jobs to the state.

"The cars are coming back to Michigan, the plants are coming back, they're being expanded," Trump said. "They build the cars in Mexico, they sell them across the border. No tax. We lose the jobs. How did anybody let this happen? Guess what, not happening anymore, folks."

Trump also boasted that previous presidents have not done the amount of work his administration has in his first year of office, and particularly pointed at the Soo Locks, in Sault Ste. Marie.

"Do you know what the Soo Locks are? Well, the Soo Locks are going to hell. We're gonna get them fixed up, he said. "We're gonna start that as soon as I get back," adding he'll call the the Army Corps of Engineers on Sunday to fix them.

"It hasn't been fixed in 50 years. After spending all that money in the Middle East, we cant fix a lock."

Stabenow, for her part, has long advocated for stronger federal investment in the Soo Locks.

"Michigan families are tired of political attacks. Instead they want results, and that's exactly what Senator Stabenow has done by restoring every penny of President Trump's cuts to Great Lakes funding and leading the bipartisan effort to upgrade the Soo Locks," a Stabenow spokesperson said in an email.
