As Election Day approaches, many city leaders across the United States are wondering what a second presidential term for Donald Trump might mean for their residents and communities. Over the past several months, they have watched as Trump described Milwaukee as "horrible," New York as a "city in decline," and Philadelphia as "ravaged by bloodshed and crime." Trump recently warned (at the Detroit Economic Club, of all places) that "the whole country will be like Detroit" if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election, and that "you're going to have a mess on your hands." City leaders recall conflicts with the previous Trump administration over issues such as administering the decennial census, ensuring public safety, and providing adequate funding.
