Recently, striking United Auto Workers (UAW) members unapologetically voiced their feelings toward Joe Biden’s short visit to the picket line in Wayne County, Michigan. The auto workers viciously booed the mention of President Biden when Trump referenced him during his speech in front of the UAW.
Joe Biden has been criticized for only making a brief 12-minute visit to the striking workers. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump dedicated an entire speaking event for the blue-collar workers.
“Yesterday, Joe Biden came to Michigan to pose for photos at the picket line,” Trump said, prompting an eruption of boos from the striking workers. “But it’s his policies that send Michigan autoworkers to the unemployment line.”
Trump suggested that Biden only showed up to the picket line after he indicated he would speak at the strike, painting the president’s trip as disingenuous with the president uninterested in the cause. The former president also took shots at Biden’s mental faculties or lack thereof.
“He only came after I announced that I would be here. You know, he announced quite a bit later, spoke for a few seconds and he had absolutely no idea what he was saying,” Trump said. “He didn’t know where he was.”
Mr. Trump proceeded to double down, showing Biden no mercy in claiming his policies will have disastrous effects on the domestic auto industry. The former president assigns the blame to Biden’s inner circle, which Trump claims has been infiltrated with leftists and an assortment of “bad people.”
“Hundreds of thousands of American jobs, your jobs, will be gone forever because Crooked Joe Biden is selling out,” Trump added. “But I don’t think it’s him. I don’t think he actually knows what the hell he’s doing. But he’s surrounded with radical left Marxists and crazy people, fascists, bad people.”
Trump then called out the liberal craze surrounding the creation of a supposed green economy, claiming those interests directly conflict with that of American labor. The Republican front-runner reaffirmed that the Democrat party is clueless.
“You can be loyal to American labor, or you can be loyal to the environmental lunatics, but you can’t really be loyal to both. It’s one or the other,” Trump said, claiming, “The Democrat Party has no idea what they’re doing right now.”
Mr. Trump praised the striking auto workers, telling them they were the backbone of the American economy. “You built this country, you love this country, and you are the ones who make this country run,” he said.
Trump also posted a bold message on his social media platform, Truth Social, about the strike, where he further called out the Biden administration.
“The United Autoworkers are being sold down the “drain” with this all Electric Car SCAM. They’ll be made in China, under Crooked Joe’s CHINA FIRST POLICY. AUTOWORKERS, VOTE FOR TRUMP – I’LL MAKE YOU VICTORIOUS & RICH. IF YOUR “LEADERS” WON’T ENDORSE ME, VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE, NOW. WITH THE DEMOCRATS & CROOKED JOE CALLING THE SHOTS, YOU’LL BE JOBLESS & PENNILESS WITHIN 4 YEARS. REMEMBER, BIDEN IS A CROOK WHO HAS BEEN PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BY CHINA, & OTHERS. He is a Manchurian Candidate!!!”
