What can Trump do for Midwest if Elon wants to replace all of the auto workers with robots [View all]

It should be effective to attack Trump in the Midwest directly on economy.

All republicans get labeled as "tax cuts for billionaires" which has some effectiveness. Republican rheteoric answers with "the rich give they jobs" and other specious claims. Ultimately the Republicans claim that giving the rich "trickles down" to workers creating jobs.

However, in this particular election Democrats have a perfect counter since the billionaires including Musk specifically want to replace human jobs with Robots so an ad can hit on this and ask what exactly will Trump do for you.
