Old news, but worth reminding folks that Trump is a fraud.

Trump paid $20,000 to rent plant for fake union auto worker event: filing

Perhaps in the hope of competing with some of the acclaim President Joe Biden received for showing solidarity with striking UAW members, Donald Trump staged a rally with fake auto worker union members, only to be exposed when local reporters talked to attendees who were not union members or not even auto workers. Rachel Maddow reports on new campaign finance filings that show Trump paid $20,000 to the nonunion auto parts plant he used to stage the event.

EDIT: Some of the Trump Cult have commented on this report coming via MSNBC. Ok. Fine. Simply do a web search: Trump Staged Fake Auto Workers Rally.
Then sit back and watch how many sources you have to choose from, including the AFL-CIO, that verify it.

I guess the 1 source missing is from Jesus Christ...but there are Trump Cult Members who would call him a liar.

CLINTON TWP., Mich. – The Trump re-election campaign paid $20,000 to stage a rally at Drake Enterprises, a non-union parts supplier facility in Michigan, back in September. The rally was seemingly an attempt to curry favor with striking union auto workers after President Biden made history the day before as the first President to walk a picket line. Reporters at the Trump event struggled to find any evidence of auto workers in attendance. In reaction, Michigan AFL-CIO Communications Director Aaron PELO released the following statement:

“Having to pay twenty grand to rent a non-union facility because nobody wanted to host your event is literally so embarrassing. Trump’s whole bit is that he supports blue-collar Americans and wants to protect auto jobs but he couldn’t even find a real auto worker to hold up a rally sign. Scabbing has truly never looked so desperate.”

Trump’s record is decidedly anti-worker. During his presidency he slashed health and safety protections, packed the National Labor Relations Board with anti-union appointees, installed anti-worker judges, oversaw an increase in offshoring, and slashed taxes for billionaires and wealthy corporations at the expense of workers.

“One individual in the crowd who held a sign that said “union members for Trump,” acknowledged that she wasn’t a union member… Another person with a sign that read “auto workers for Trump” said he wasn’t an auto worker.”

The Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan’s largest labor organization, is a federation representing forty different labor organizations, eighteen different central labor councils, and eight constituency groups representing over 1 million union members and their families.

@JSul3 Fakers hired by the [b]biggest FAKER [/b]and [b]lowest ranked President of all time.[/b]

No wonder all the GQP House Reps are racing each other for the exit doors! 18 have announced that they are leaving and these are NOT the ones you want to quit!

Meanwhile, Johnson fails to lead and lets Quad Indicted push them down the path to ruin…
