MAGA protesters line Michigan streets with ‘go home sleepy Joe’ signs as President tries to sell his agenda in Trump country

  • President Joe Biden will travel Tuesday to the red part of the blue state of Michigan to hawk his infrastructure and budget bills 
  • Biden will speak at a branch of the International Union of Operating Engineers in Howell, Michigan
  • Livingston County, Michigan chose former President Donald Trump over Biden by more than 20 points 
  • The trip comes after Biden dashed progressives’ hopes telling them that the $3.5 trillion budget bill needed to be slashed by more than a trillion dollars 

More than a thousand pro-Trump protesters lined the streets directly outside the union facility, with demonstrators holding up signs saying ‘Trump Won’, ‘Go Home Sleepy Joe’ and ‘unmask kids’ as he made his way from the airport to his event.

Makes me smile, I get more pumped up,’ he said of the protesters after the event.

Speaking to a small group of union members and lawmakers, Biden pitched his infrastructure plans as non-partisan.

‘These bills are not about left versus right or moderate versus progressive or anything that pits Americans against one another,’ Biden said. ‘To oppose these investments is to be complicit in America’s decline,’ he said.
