Editor’s note: While your local newspaper was denied credentials to cover the president’s remarks at Macomb Community College on April 29, our team of journalists spoke to those outside of the event who came to applaud or protest the first 100 days of his second nonconsecutive term. Here is what they had to say. WARREN — Tien Tran, a resident of Fullerton, California, traveled from the West Coast to Warren to see President Donald Trump April 29 at the South Campus of Macomb Community College in Warren. Trump, elected to his second term last November, held a rally at the local college to observe his first 100 days in office that has centered around tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency, illegal immigration, securing the border and the possible dismantlement of the U.S. Department of Education. “He’s a real leader. He cares about his people,” said Tran, 59, who wore a white suit, cowboy hat and Trump flair. “This is historic. This is an important event for the future of my three children.” Tran was born in Vietnam and said he spent two years in a refugee camp before coming to the U.S. He is pleased the Trump administration has clamped down on illegal immigration through Immigration and Customs Enforce-
