#Trump’s statement that he’d encourage #Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to #European#allies who aren’t meeting #NATO spending guidelines has rattled #Michigan residents w/ #Polish heritage or family ties, who said they found his remarks “appalling,” insulting & un-American.
In interviews, several #PolishAmericans —whose community numbers over 760k in #Michigan ―said they fear that #Trump in a possible 2nd term would pull back from #NATO#security commitments. They also worry he may even move to formally withdraw the #UnitedStates from the post-WWII pact w/its closest #military & #economic partners overseas.
MI has a significant #Polish community, ranking the 3rd largest in the nation behind NY & IL.
@Nonilex will the #Arab voters stay home? Or protest vote Trump? Biden can't afford to lose a tightly contested / swing MI.
You are spot on about the #Polish.
