Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

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.

I thought you were more intelligent.

[JoSixChip]

Optics.

“Trump stands with all American workers, and in this case those who are being put on the unemployment line by the EPA”.

1. Whatever is happening UAW workers adding to the unemployments lines doe to the EPA is not happening. Unemployment of UAW workers is not up.

2. The UAW jobs at the unionized plants will be put on line if the automakers are forced to cave to the union demands. There cost of operations will rise so much that imports and non-union built cars will cause layoffs at the UAW organizaed plants.

Trump is just a populist and an opertunist playing up to a union that does not really care about the workers, the companies or this economy. The UAW is all about the one thins all the major unions care about - unionized political power, period.

The workers

Pull your head out of your butt!
Ewwwww - messy messy messy... UR correct SCP

[BigEdLB]

The auto workers are looking at West Virginia coal miners

McCarthy had an appeal to the workers, as did Nixon and Reagan. Let the Democrats have the Upper Middle Class white Women
I will take the multiracial working class party any day.

PUBLIC Unions are the enemy, not private.

Man...do I have to teach you everything?
All unions support only democrat candidates.
Many union members voted for Trump.

See the difference?

By the way here is one more thing to help you ...
Always put one leg at a time in your shorts. Never try to place both legs at same time.

I want the GOP candidate with the best chance of winning the general election. Be it Gov DeSantis or whomever shines on the debate stage.

[Seaplaner]

Respectfully, you illustrate my point quite well.

[Timber Rattler]

It seems that Trump will be in good company...

John Fetterman joins striking auto workers in Michigan

[entropy12]

Yes, Fetterman will vote for Trump in November 2024. Never luck a gift horse in the mouth LOL

"You do realize that some of us here like both Trump AND DeSantis, don’t you?"
I'm probably voting for Trump in the primary, but the Trump "über alles" "Trump is the Second Coming" crew who blackguard DeSantis are working very hard to persuade me to not vote for Trump in the primary. When I simmer down, I realize one term of Trump, who was a great President until the Covid-19 challenge came along, will probably set the stage and make it easier for someone like DeSantis. He's my governor and I couldn't ask for anyone better.

[digger48]

We need more governors like DeSantis. 50 of them

Prior to his throwing his hat in the ring, FR would be lauding his conservative agenda and achievements

"This is how you know you're a Troll or a Never Trumper!

You're inability to be objective and only see or purposefully filter out, the bad behavior you are trying to hi-lite on both sides of the equation."

Wow, did you you just check yourself in a mirror? Apparently so. If not... projecting much? TrumpOnly's accusing others of being Never Trumpers is pretty much THE definition of troll behavior....not to mention extreme hypocrisy.
