Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit
Breitbart ^ | 18 Sep 2023 | NICK GILBERTSON

Posted on 09/19/2023 7:42:59 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump contended that Biden’s electric vehicle agenda is selling the UAW “down the drain” in a Truth Social post on Sunday night.

“They’ll be made in China, under Crooked Joe’s CHINA FIRST POLICY. AUTOWORKERS, VOTE FOR TRUMP – I’LL MAKE YOU VICTORIOUS & RICH. IF YOUR “LEADERS” WON’T ENDORSE ME, VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE, NOW,” he implored the UAW’s rank-and-file.

“WITH THE DEMOCRATS & CROOKED JOE CALLING THE SHOTS, YOU’LL BE JOBLESS & PENNILESS WITHIN 4 YEARS. REMEMBER, BIDEN IS A CROOK WHO HAS BEEN PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BY CHINA, & OTHERS,” he added.

President Donald "The G.O.A.T." Trump is going to suck the air out of the Midget Debate Again!

Pull your head out of your butt!

Trump is backing the Union Workers.

Always can tell who is a DeSanctimonious supporter by the heavy use of Propaganda and distortion of the truth applied in their posting

Since when did Conservatives start supporting the corrupt and unsatiable labor unions?

I suppose that Trump will be given a pass too when he cozies up to the SEIU?

Trump stands with all American workers, and in this case those who are being put on the unemployment line by the EPA and Neocons like you who prefer slaughter and war over families.

You often hear it said that if Ronald Reagan were around today, he would be deemed insufficiently true to the conservative cause to win his own party's presidential nomination. Well, according to this video, if Reagan were around today he could forget about being elected governor of Wisconsin, too--just listen to him cry out "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost!"

So are we saying, that Trump supports the workers, but does not support the union which is negotiating on behalf of the workers?

So would he prefer the workers not be in the union?

I’m not sure what the issues here. Doesn’t support of the workers in a labor issue, mean supporting their union?

Are you guys looking at this matter, making some fine distinctions about the union representing workers, and the workers themselves?

Lol.

The unions have been decimated—are no threat to anyone.

Meanwhile their members are all actual and/or potential Trump voters waiting to be treated with respect by somebody, anybody...willing to defend our border against illegal invaders instead of flushing money down the toilet defending the Ukraine border.

Your post is disingenuous at best, downright woefully & willfully ignorant at best, when you look at what Trump actually said.

“Donald John Trump mmm mmm mmm”

Well, if you have 2 brain cells to rub together, along with just a dash of common sense, you know the answer to this is a resounding NO. If you lack brain cells, common sense or the ability to reason, you come to the conclusion you have.
