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.

It’s nearly certain he’ll say that he will remove all subsidies for EVs.
And that’ll be enough.
As it happened, you failed to provide the rest of the quote, and it's context:
"These are the values inspiring those brave workers in Poland … They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost."
Reagan's talking about Poland's Solidarity Union standing up to the Communists.
Of course, Reagan then went on to bust the Air Traffic Controller's Union and fire them all.
Yeah, he supported unions all right...

Why is it that you can never make a declarative statement Dilbert? One derived from your own perspective, using the facts that are presented.

No one cares. It's Trump or bust. DeSantis starts and ends as a back bencher, a non contender.
That’s what I’m talking about. I don’t understand what people are saying about this.
If I’m missing something, please explain what the issues here are.
I have more than 2 brain cells and know there is snark and insults on Free Republic sometimes, but still would like if you can explain this.
Support of workers in a labor dispute does not mean supporting their union? I don’t understand this. Please explain.
Union members, not union.
I thought you were more intelligent.
I can never make a declarative statement, because I have questions about why people have the opinions that they have.
And that can generate questions. I don’t know all the details about some of the subjects discussed here. So naturally questions come up, At least that’s how I look at it.
Exactly. Timber Rattler should stay in woods rattling.
So how is that a distinction without a difference? They call each other "brothers" for a reason you know.
He's supporting the rank and file, brilliant, it's what most President's should do. It's basically a vote against the EV mandates.
LOL, you thought wrong in this case.
It’s one thing to support Trump, but the childish name calling here by some is another
It gets old
Trump sees an opportunity and takes it. Increasing margins in Rust Belt states is a good strategy.
The runaway inflation caused by Trump and Biden’s MASSIVE government spending wasn’t causing enough pain apparently. Now the two are teaming up with the UAW to make cars more expensive.
If you would pull your head out of Rumps butt you would see it is only a gimmick go find a push poll that says union workers love Rump
I second the motion.
There’s a certain amount of snark and sarcasm and wisecracks on Free Republic. But we are all supposed to avoid insults and put downs. We are supposed to discuss the issues, and not attack fellow Freepers. After all, we are all on the same team. We are all conservatives who believe in the same values.
Sure does.
