— On one level, this Detroit suburb where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is scheduled to appear Sunday evening makes plenty of political logic. All of it makes Sterling Heights, the state’s fourth most populous city, a reminder of what the Trump candidacy has meant for jittery Muslim Americans. In addition to his scheduled appearance in Sterling Heights, Trump has also scheduled a rally in Grand Rapids on Monday. Chaldeans make up roughly 5 percent of Sterling Heights’ population of 130,000, and the Detroit area in general is home to the most Chaldeans in the U.S., according to the 2010 Census. “There have been comments made by the Trump campaign regarding Muslims, and I understand what Muslims are concerned about with a Donald Trump presidency,” Taylor said.
