Donald Trump: 'I've Risked It All to Defend the Working Class'

Former President Donald Trump mocked President Joe Biden's lip service trip to Michigan, saying Biden is pandering to the United Auto Workers labor union bosses. Trump said that he wants to stand for the American worker and "economic nationalism" against Biden globalism.

"I put everything on the line to fight for you," Trump said in a campaign stump speech in Clinton Township, Michigan, which aired live and in its entirety on Newsmax. "I've risked it all to defend the working class from the corrupt political class that has spent decades sucking the life, wealth, and blood out of this country.

"That's why I'm here tonight, to lay out a vision for a revival of economic nationalism and our automobile manufacturing lifeblood, which they're sucking out of our country."

Trump took Biden to task for what he called his hastily planned trip to Michigan, which was put together after Trump announced he would give a speech in Michigan as his Republican presidential primary rivals were in the blue state of California for the second debate.

"I want a future that protects American labor, not foreign labor," Trump continued. "The future that puts American dream's over foreign profits and a future that raises American wages, that strengthens American industry that builds national pride, and that defends this country's dignity — not squanders it all to build up foreign countries that hate us."

Trump spoke to a crowd that included blue-collar workers from all facets of the Michigan workforce, including UAW members.

"I side with the autoworkers of America and with those who want to make America great again, and I always will," Trump vowed.

The UAW labor bosses spurned Trump and sided with Biden, who visited the day prior; but Trump and his campaign carried on with a gathering that would include other working-class groups.

(”I put everything on the line to fight for you,” Trump said)

Yes you did Mr. President.

I’m sorry that half of the country is too stupid to figure it out.

[BenLurkin]

The banks he did business with weren’t harmed, made lots of money in his deals and to this day have no complaints.

Could be the working class is too busy to know-easy to misguide. They then become sheeple-ready to listen to sound bites. Think change we can believe in-feels good. Then there’s the ‘You’re no Jack Kennedy”. If you agree imagine hearing that after a long day at work. Boxing match entertainment.

‘It’s a big club and you ain’t in it’. Carlin right? He can say that to the rich and they’ll agree with him.

Trump said it. The rest-got-are playing defense because we’re all racists right?

[Socon-Econ]

Best not to use the term “working class” because it’s a Marxixt invention. Company executives, small business owners, and professional libs actually work harder than most low income people nowadays.

>> said from the heart, not a script.

And the truth of that statement from his heart is easily verifiable, as his persecution at the hands of the deep state is in-our-face public information.

[Freee-dame]

Would the term “people working in the private sector” be better? It seems that people being paid by the government, either with direct employment or through contractor employment is doing just fine.

You are a real snobbish piece of work.

[wardaddy]

He sure moved social conservative Dems to the Rs

No question of that

Dems are counting on open borders to thwart that

[Wdempsey]

It’s true! He’s only one of several who truly care about the republic and its people.

Why is it snobbish to oppose Marxist terms that have no basis in reality? Manual labor is not the only way to work hard, and our hard workers are not members of a class with no way out of it.

[calljack]

All of my kids are small business owners and work 12 to 15 hours a day.

[Enterprise]

Put another way: Trump fights for the little guy. Biden fights to CRUSH the little guy.

[Gay State Conservative]

Exactly.It's the middle class and the working class that DJT fights for. e knows that the elite don't need his help...and the only help he offers to the welfare class is the possibility of helping them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

[Gay State Conservative]

Working class to me are plumbers...electricians...car mechanics,etc,etc.Guys who work hard and are in need of a shower at the end of the workday.

President Trump has a perfect life - a loving family, a great business, money in the bank, lots of friends, a beautiful wife... then he ran for President. Donated his salary to charity and worked for a dollar a year.44

Now he’s got the corrupt legal system and our ‘intelligence’ thugs doing everything they can to destroy him. And they started that process of taking him down on his first day of running for office. DC’s a nest of vipers.
