to hold an event on the UAW strike, blasting arguing that Electric Vehicles should reject EVs, and arguing that they will be made outside the U.S. and UAW members will lose jobs.

"Sept 18 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump plans to give a speech in Detroit on Sept. 27 to a crowd of union workers, skipping the second Republican presidential debate, an aide said on Monday, and instead inserting himself into a dispute between striking workers and America's leading automakers.

The prime time speech is expected to be delivered to auto workers and other blue collar union members, the aide added. The speech comes as Trump has been harshly critical of President Joe Biden's electric vehicle policies and urged autoworkers to back his candidacy."

Michigan Democrats are urging President Biden to join UAW strikers.

"President Biden is coming under increasing pressure from some Democratic lawmakers to do something none of his predecessors appear to have done in office: join striking workers walking a picket line.

"As the United Auto Workers strike against all three of the nation’s biggest automakers, numerous Democrats in Michigan and around the country have expressed concern as Biden’s likely rival in next year’s election, former president Donald Trump, tries to woo union voters and weaken a crucial Democratic constituency by making his own visit to a strike site."

The question is will the auto workers and labor be fooled again as they were by Ronald Reagan, where too many blue collar workers voted for him, and that resulted in almost a complete destruction of unions in this country.

Will they remember the lies of trump when he occupied the WH? He was no friend of labor, but were fooled by his populist message.

Are they going trust an insurrectionist, liar, racist, sexist, and conman?

The republican strategy is obvious. They are blaming Democrats and President for his climate change policies, and transitioning to clean energy. Not only are all the republican candidates on that same page, but so elected republicans. J.D. Vance is no friend of labor, and sure doesn't care about auto workers:

2024 will be a critical test for the Auto Workers, and labor, and if they allow themselves to be conned again into believing false republican promises that never happened, it will be the end of unions, and you can kiss workers rights goodbye forever.
