No surprise
Donald Trump did not participate in the second RNC primary debate Wednesday night. It was probably a smart move for him. Instead of debating, he chose to hold a campaign rally with Michigan auto workers. Or, did he?
Trump’s excuse for a trip to Michigan instead of to the Reagan Presidential Library was that he has to save the jobs of Michigan’s autoworkers. The guesstimate is that there was a crowd of 400 – 500 people in Trump’s audience. But were they real autoworkers and union members? Some are pointing out that that isn’t true.
Hahahaha oh my gosh – Trump’s triumphant speech to the union workers … wasn’t to the union workers at all.
This feels like Four Seasons Landscaping all over again. https://t.co/sw8KeaQCJk

Hmm.
The former president told the crowd that their jobs would be gone in two years because of Biden’s push for EVs. The irony about the UAW strike is that Biden showed up to declare himself the first president to do some photo ops with union workers on a picket line. His environmental policies and his obsession with destroying the American oil and gas industry will cause massive job loss among autoworkers. No one bothered to call him out on it, because, of course no one did. Biden is running for re-election and the old man has to be protected.
“I thought it was much more important, considering I have a 56-point lead, for me to be dealing with the UAW and the fact that the Biden Administration is going to destroy their jobs over the next two years by going all electric vehicle,” Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Wednesday night.
