His speech at the Detroit Economic Club will begin at noon EST. The Republican presidential nominee is [expected to propose](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN10J0YL) income and corporate tax cuts. He is also likely to attack the government for over-regulating businesses. Trump’s proposed tax cuts are projected to cost $11 trillion over ten years. Trump’s speech is an attempt to reset his campaign after more than a week of missteps. The billionaire’s feud with Khizr Khan, whose son was killed in Iraq 12 years ago by a suicide bomber, drew derision from many Republicans. And Trump’s refusal to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan in his primary further angered the establishment. New polls show Hillary Clinton rocketing past Trump in several key swing states, leading him by double digits in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. **Read More:** [_Meet Donald Trump’s Economic Advisors_](http://time.com/4440711/donald-trump-economic-advisors/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4443094/watch-donald-trumps-economic-speech-in-detroit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4443094/watch-donald-trumps-economic-speech-in-detroit/"},"headline":"Watch Donald Trump's Economic Speech In Detroit","datePublished":"2016-08-08T14:36:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:45:45.908Z","description":"The billionaire is expected to propose tax cuts on families and businesses","url":"https://time.com/4443094/watch-donald-trumps-economic-speech-in-detroit/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf1ae43e645ec8935/6988a126a988ca056e6b8f6d/donald-trump-suit.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/bltf1ae43e645ec8935/6988a126a988ca056e6b8f6d/donald-trump-suit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during his campaign event at the Ocean Center Convention Center on August 3, 2016 in Daytona, Florida.","caption":"Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during his campaign event at the Ocean Center Convention Center on August 3, 2016 in Daytona, Florida.","creditText":"Joe Raedle—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4443094/watch-donald-trumps-economic-speech-in-detroit/","name":"Watch Donald Trump's Economic Speech In Detroit"}}]}] ```
