President Donald Trump is poised to skip out on the second GOP presidential primary debate next week and head to Detroit, Michigan, where he will reportedly meet with striking union autoworkers, multiple outlets have reported.

The initial report from The New York Times indicated that on the day of the next scheduled Republican primary debate, Sept. 27, the 45th president is slated to deliver a prime-time speech to striking union workers, possibly upstaging the GOP debate yet again.

The NYT cited sources who were familiar with the planning for the event. The second GOP debate will be held in California at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

In August, President Trump sat down with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for an exclusive interview on X, which was released online just five minutes before the start time of the first scheduled Republican debate. The interview accrued tens of millions of views in minutes. To date, it has earned more than 265 million views online.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union strike has been an important subject for the Trump campaign. In early September, RSBN reported that UAW President Shawn Fain had stated that the union planned on negotiating contracts for auto workers with several auto companies as their contract deadline approached.

The Trump campaign stated, “Joe Biden’s Electric Vehicle mandate will murder the U.S. auto industry and kill countless union autoworker jobs forever, especially in Michigan and the Midwest. There is no such thing as a ‘fair transition’ to the destruction of these workers’ livelihoods and the obliteration of this cherished American industry.”

President Trump has also warned that if Biden’s push for electric vehicles comes to fruition, “The Auto Industry in America will cease to exist!”

In his upcoming speech, Trump will likely touch on his administration’s previous policy work in support of the American auto industry.

I would have loved it if he had decided to go to the border and do a press conference in front of Eagle Pass to highlight the border issue.

Trump should organize a debate on his terms through truth social and dare the also-rans to show up.

The UAW will never turn from the Democrats.

Biden and Trump are on the same page...so no gain.

Trump has already ‘interviewed’ for the presidency, TWICE.

Once during the campaigns for the 2016 presidency.

Second time, and the most important time: DURING his presidency. Performance-wise, nobody in the current batch of republicans hopefuls, can match what Trump has done. Not a single one.

Therefore, nobody should question why Trump is so far ahead of all the others, and doesn’t need to ‘interview’ again.

I agree he does not need another interview, but I am concerned about what can be done against such reckless hate. The DS fired him from the job in 2020. What can be done this time?

I can’t disagree with you on that.

Smart move by Trump. Why should he participate in a rigged debate? His absence will also send the Murdochs a message that they are dispensible.

The DS didn't fire him. They cheated him out of a second term. He won.

The best way to stop the democrats and their colluding republicans, is to keep track of everything during the election. Nobody was equipped to deal with all the fraud in the 2020 election, but, we've had 4 years to get ready. Hopefully, people will be better prepared this time. And, the DOJ and FBI and local authorities all over, need to be watched carefully. Democrats know they got away with the theft in 2020, and they will, for sure, attempt the same thing again.

GOP “debates” will resemble school children who didn’t get picked for the team sniping at each other with water pistols ...

I know all hope is not lost, but I'm not as Hopeful as you. You would have thought after the Steal of 2016 when 5 million Fraud votes cheated President Trump out of the popular vote win, that some measures would be put in place. Of course, it's Mike Pence's fault enough wasn't done - he was in charge of the Fraud Commission.

Why would Trump “debate” with the second stringers? It appears he’s moving into general election mode. 😉

Who cares what the political class has to say? A bunch of overmanaged poll tested phrasologists.
