Sewell quotes Martin Luther King Jr. in Trump inauguration prayer
Rev. Lorenzo Sewell, senior pastor at 180 Church in Detroit, delivered a prayer during the benediction at Donald Trump's second inauguration.
President Trump will hold a rally in Macomb County, Michigan, on April 29, 2025.
The rally is intended to celebrate the first 100 days of his second term.
Trump's visit comes amid declining job approval ratings and concerns over his trade policies, particularly tariffs affecting the auto industry.
President Donald Trump will make his first visit to Michigan of his second term in office on Tuesday, April 29, as he heads to Macomb County for a rally.
Trump is expected to make the stop in metro Detroit to commemorate the passing of the first 100 days into his second term, which comes on April 30. Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20.
No other details about the event, including the time, venue or public availability of tickets were immediately available.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the visit on social media platform X, with a statement saying, "President Trump is excited to return to the great state of Michigan next Tuesday, where he will rally in Macomb County to celebrate the FIRST 100 DAYS!"
U.S. Rep. John James, R-Shelby Township, whose district includes much of southern Macomb County also posted about the visit on X, saying, "Macomb County is honored to welcome President @realDonaldTrump back to MICHIGAN to celebrate the first 100 days of America's New Golden Age."

"Together, we will Make Michigan Great Again," said James, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor next year. James' post included a photo of him and the president together.
The Detroit News first reported the presidential visit on Wednesday evening ahead of Leavitt's and James' postings, citing Republican sources.
The visit will be the first by Trump since beginning his second, nonconsecutive term, as well as his first since winning Michigan in last November's election, when he defeated Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, 49.7% to 48.3%. Trump also won Michigan in 2016 en route to securing his first term in office and lost it in 2020 to Democratic former President Joe Biden.
Trump won Macomb County in all three elections and was a regular visitor throughout all three campaigns: In the 2024 race, he spent no fewer than 17 days barnstorming Michigan and held a rally in Grand Rapids just ahead of the balloting as he had in his other campaigns.
Trump is coming to Michigan at a time when his job approval ratings have been slipping nationally amid his pursuing an aggressive agenda to remake the federal government and institute a wide range of import tariffs on goods that have fueled worries they could spark a recession. Detroit automakers are especially worried that tariffs on autos and auto parts could result in snarling supply chains, spiking prices and tanking sales.
The president, who has also seen the stock market ride a roller-coaster of abrupt losses in recent weeks, has argued that tariffs will lead to more investment in auto manufacturing and that several automakers are already announcing plans to expand U.S. operations to avoid paying them. Trump, however, has teased the possibility of giving automakers a break on some tariffs, though no announcement to that effect has been made.

Yes, there has been looting, and some cars have been burned and vandalized. But Trump is lying about the extent of lawlessness. Trump is following his bad policies with even worse provocations that could portend a modern-day Kent State tragedy with soldiers firing live bullets at protesters. But for Trump, the more chaos, the better. As a White House official said, 'We're happy to have this fight.' To some extent this fight to suppress dissent has been boiling in Trump for five years. During nationwide demonstrations after the police murder of George Floyd in 2020, Trump, then in his first term, asked members of his Cabinet whether protesters could be shot. 'He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak, and 'us' meant him,' Mark Esper, Trump's former defense secretary, Advertisement Esper recalled Trump saying to now-retired General Mark Milley, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ''Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' … It was a suggestion and a formal question.

Trump promised not to send in military to tamp down on NYC protests — if NYPD keeps demonstrators in line
President Trump promised NYPD brass over the weekend that he will not send in the military or National Guard to tamp down on anti-ICE protests in New York City — as long as cops keep the demonstrators in line, The Post has learned. Trump's pledge was made to Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Kaz Daughtry and NYPD Chief of Department John Chell as the pair palled around with the president at his New Jersey golf club. Sources with knowledge of the meeting said Trump had voiced concerns over the destructive mass protests engulfing Los Angeles and them being replicated in the Big Apple. Advertisement But Chell reassured the president that any demonstrations in the city would not get out of hand, the sources said. Kaz Daughtry and John Chell though didn't tee it up with the commander in chief. Linkedin/john-chell The two Big Apple police officials met with Trump on Sunday. Linkedin/john-chell Advertisement Trump then told the two he didn't believe the National Guard would be necessary in New York City. It came after he ordered an initial 2,000 National Guard troops to LA Saturday amid the raging protests over federal immigration enforcement raids. Since then, the Trump administration has in total dispatched roughly 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to the city– sparking an emergency request by California Gov. Gavin Newsom Tuesday for a federal court to block the deployment. On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams and his police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, decried the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and issued a stern warning to New Yorkers to not follow suit. 'The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of days is unacceptable and would not be tolerated if attempted in our city,' Adams said. Advertisement Tisch added that 'any attacks against law enforcement will be met with a swift and decisive response from the NYPD.' Earlier Monday, dozens of protestors calling for an end to the ICE raids were arrested at Trump Tower after refusing to leave the Manhattan high-rise. The meeting between Trump and Adams' allies raised eyebrows in New York City political circles — after Daughtry and Chell posted photos on social media from the Bedminster club. 'Great day on the links today with POTUS, #45-#47 – Donald J. Trump. Good conversation with a few laughs and a great lunch. Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Kaz Daughtry and I were grateful for the invite,' Chell wrote. Advertisement Sources said the two Big Apple officials didn't actually tee it up with the prez, despite the photos showing them chatting with him on the links. Still, Adams defended the outing on Tuesday, telling reporters, 'A lot of great deals have been made on the golf course.' 'I thank the two of them for doing it,' he said. 'Many of you who play golf know that great decisions are made on the golf course.' Both Chell and Daughtry also joined the mayor at Trump's inauguration earlier this year.

IQVIA Holdings (NYSE:IQV) Sees 11% Share Price Rise Over Last Week
IQVIA Holdings experienced a 10% rise in share price over the last week, correlating with its recent developments, notably the dosing of the first patient in the RENEW Phase 2 trial and its strategic alliance with Sarah Cannon Research Institute to optimize oncology trials. These initiatives likely provided a positive sentiment boost, aligning well with the broader market momentum, as indices such as the S&P 500 also reached new highs. The market's anticipation over US-China trade talks and overall strong corporate earnings have supported the upward trend, further enhancing IQV's market performance. We've identified 1 warning sign for IQVIA Holdings that you should be aware of. Uncover 18 companies that survived and thrived after COVID and have the right ingredients to survive Trump's tariffs. The recent 10% rise in IQVIA Holdings' share price has been influenced by important developments like the dosing in the RENEW Phase 2 trial and a key alliance with Sarah Cannon Research Institute. These initiatives are expected to potentially drive revenue growth, particularly as the strategic alliance optimizes oncology trials. The company's past performance, with total returns of 10.45% over five years, suggests modest growth in investor value. However, compared to the US Life Sciences industry's one-year return of 27% decline, IQVIA's recent rise highlights positive market sentiment. These initiatives, combined with FDA reforms and NVIDIA collaboration, may lower operational costs and have a favorable impact on earnings forecasts. Analysts predict revenue to grow by 5.2% annually over the next three years, which is somewhat cautious compared to the general expectations for the life sciences sector. The recent share price movement to US$146.2 remains below the consensus price target of US$216.31, indicating potential for future appreciation if the projected growth in revenue and earnings materializes.
