Watch Live Stream: Donald Trump Speaks In Michigan

Update. DIMONDALE, MI — Donald Trump's rally in Michigan has been pushed to 5 p.m. to make room in the Republican candidate's schedule to tour flood-damage Louisiana Friday.

Our earlier report: Days after he announced a shake-up to get his presidential campaign back on track, Republican nominee Donald Trump returns to Michigan today for a rally, his second visit to the state in two weeks.

The question is, which Donald Trump will show up — the disciplined, dialed back candidate who read from a teleprompter during a major economic policy address before the Detroit Economic Club on Aug. 8, or the shoot-from-the-hip candidate who disrupted a crowded Republican primary field and raced past establishment candidates to seal the party’s nomination?

Doors for the Diamondale event, held at the Summit Sports and Ice Complex, open at 12:30 p.m. and Trump is expected to speak at 3:30 p.m. Eastern.

With only 82 days before the Nov. 8 general election, both the New York real estate mogul and his Democratic opponent, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, are focusing on Michigan and a handful of other battleground states that could decide the election. Clinton is leading Trump, 47.2 percent to 41.2 percent, according to averages compiled by RealClear Politics.

To reignite his flagging campaign and overcome his bad polling numbers, Trump promoted campaign adviser Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager and tapped Breitbart News Chairman Stephen Bannon as campaign chief executive.

The scripted, teleprompter candidate spoke Thursday night in North Carolina, where Trump said he regretted poorly chosen words, but stopped short of apologizing.

“Sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing,” Trump said. “I have done that.

“And believe it or not, I regret it,” he added. “I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues. … I can promise you this: I will always tell you the truth.”

Lansing Republican consultant Jeff Timmer of Two Rivers Public Affairs told the Detroit Free Press that he expects the same kind of rousing speech that fueled him in the primaries.

Timmer said changes Trump made to his campaign “were clearly indicators that he's going to stick with what got him to where he is — the unplugged Trump.”

“I would even call it the unhinged Trump,” Timmer said.

Matt Marsden, a Republican consultant at the Pontiac-based RevSix Data Systems, told The Detroit News he thinks Trump is “giving ulcers in the Republican establishment about what he’s going to do.”

Dan Woods, 30, an automotive supply industry worker from Delta Township and a Trump supporter, told The Detroit News that “abandoning the populist message would be a bad idea.

“I think abandoning the populist message would be a bad idea,” Woods said. “I think if he focuses on the contrast between his policies and Hillary Clinton’s policies, I think it’s his election.”
