New Gordie Howe Bridge Hate Advertisement - Courtesy of Matty Moroun

**mikeg19** · June-20-18, 02:09 PM

Aside from the ad being a complete farce and laughable, it seems this family is just not going to get out of its own way. One day they are selling the train station to Ford and hailing themselves as heroes for not demolishing it, the next they start hate advertising the GH Bridge on Fox News so President Dip**** can watch it. The scary part about it is that Trump is dumb enough to fall for the patriotism rhetoric the ad plays to. This is never going to end....

Smart move, Matty. The GH [[proposed) bridge is a terrible idea.

Hey mikefmich, how do you really feel about the Maroun family.

I try to contain myself & keep people guessing.

Why is it a terrible idea?

The Gordie Howe bridge will be owned by the governments. Private companies will submit bids to operate the bridge.

With Canada boycotting American products would that not decrease the amount of trade and change the numbers that were used to show that the bridge was feasible?

So now it becomes an oversized pedestrian bridge?

Yeah, yesterday only 2 cars and a truck crossed the Ambassador Bridge. Or was it 2 trucks and a car?

I still say they need to Eminent Domain Fatty Moron's ignorant ass.

NO border crossing should be in private hands. The two Governments need to deal with this fool in no uncertain terms. Pull all Customs personnel from both side which would effectively close it.

And of course Tricky Dicky spouts off in support of the Fuhrer.

And of course you continue to allow your emotions to control your life,I also notice you are advocating the border closure,nice to see you are regaining your senses.

You do realize the new bridge will also be in private hands.

I doubt you would last 5 seconds if he was as you suggest the Fuhrer which apparently you know little about,you do enjoy your drama though,nothing wrong with that,I guess it keeps you from getting bored.

So now there is a thread that incorporated The bridge,Trump,and Mr. Maroun and Obama.

My question is,who's turn is it to make the popcorn for this one,and if I like extra butter and salt does that automatically make me an evil Trump,Mr Maroun and anti bridge kinda guy?

Naw, melt a whole stick on there.

**DetroitSoldier** · June-20-18, 03:58 PM

Well they did mention that Obama supported the Gordie Howe Bridge project, so you know who is going to intervene...well played, old man.

**Zads07** · June-20-18, 05:52 PM

Smart move by Mouron. With Trump in office saying Canada is an enemy of sorts, this could play well.

Of course, this is awful for the United States and Canada. Mouron should not be able to own the bridge, nor should he be able to stop the building of a second bridge.

**DetroiterOnTheWestCoast** · June-20-18, 08:12 PM

The ploy could work, since Canada is now inexplicably an “enemy” and a threat, and our country is geared towards doing the bidding of the billionaire class.

**MicrosoftFan** · June-20-18, 08:19 PM

The ad was laughable and sounded like a parody ad. Of course, they had to drop the word "America" about a million times. I'm surprised we didn't see some imagery of WWII veterans saluting the flag. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. Moroun basically searched for USA patriotism stock photos, dropped them in an ad along with some shiny renderings, added a voiceover and aired it.

Can we stop making bridge construction into a proxy war? Thanks.

If you are a fan of the Comedy Central show "Detroiters" this could have easily been produced by the Cramblin Dubet Advertising agency. ��

POTUS wasn't some esoteric professor of BS; he was a builder, or hadn't you heard? I truly doubt he'd be swayed by some slum monger waving the flag. He probably knows more about bridges than you, me and Moron put together. That puts him head and shoulders above the last President Bull****

Trump knows more about bridges than us and Mourons? Wow, you Trumpers really are brainwashed.

My grandparents were foot soldiers during the fight to organize Ford in the 1930s. My parents kept a photo of JFK on our living room wall as I was growing up.

If you don't like my political POV, don't blame Pres. Trump. Blame Jimmy Carter. It was his policies that drove me away our of economic necessity from Detroit. He showed me the new Democrats were nothing but closet Socialists who did nothing for working people. It was Jimmy Carter who made me what I am today.

Trump knows how to be in the right spot to benefit from the huge runup in NYC real estate values [[hint: be born there and have a daddy who's already made millions), how to build lavish casinos and run them into the ground, and how to get lots of free work out of people by declaring bankruptcy when the bills come due. The only thing Trump has ever had to do with bridges is crossing one to get from Queens to Manhattan.

President F***Stick literally is swayed by McDonalds advertisements and Facebook propaganda bots. Throw an American flag on anything and you have his undivided attention, or hadn't you heard Kathy?

I got the sarcasm,not many others did though it would seem.

Moroun, the Maroon! has LOST! deal with it.

x2

If POTUS was willing to give that carpet bagging slumlord the time of day and listen to his phone calls, Moroun wouldn't need to spend millions on these Dear President commercials and he'd simply donate millions to the Republican Party. Trump said repeatedly during his campaign that he wouldn't be bought out by wall street billionaires and special interest. Is he going to go back on that promise now? Moroun has a knack for turning politicians against him. I wonder if Detroit's Mayor will help him with anything again in the future after this. He's already made haters out of Windsor's Mayor and Councilors.
