Donald Trump speaks to the Detroit Economic Club at the Cobo Center in Detroit, on Aug. 8, 2016.Eric Thayer—Reuters by [Will Drabold](/author/will-drabold/) ## Will Drabold Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Aug 8, 2016 8:57 PM CUT Donald Trump [gave a major economic speech](http://time.com/4443030/donald-trump-tax-revolution-detroit-economic-speech/ "undefined") in a bid to reboot his campaign after a troubled week, but it was his reaction to protesters that showed the biggest difference. The Republican nominee has typically taken an aggressive response to people protesting at his rallies, calling for security to “get them the hell out of here” or telling them directly to “go home to mom.” But on Monday, he waited quietly as the protesters were led out of the Detroit Economic Club, then returned to his prepared text. Watch the video above to see how Trump’s response differed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4444075/donald-trump-detroit-economic-club-protests/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4444075/donald-trump-detroit-economic-club-protests/"},"headline":"See How Donald Trump Handles Detroit Protestors Differently","datePublished":"2016-08-08T20:57:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:50:49.881Z","description":"Watch Donald Trump handle protestors in a different way after his speech on the economy in Detroit.","url":"https://time.com/4444075/donald-trump-detroit-economic-club-protests/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election topic","protests"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc33024c37e5bdde6/6988a198f887dc7fa9e97005/trump-03.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Will Drabold","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/will-drabold/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc33024c37e5bdde6/6988a198f887dc7fa9e97005/trump-03.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks to the Detroit Economic Club at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan","caption":"Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks to the Detroit Economic Club at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan August 8, 2016.
