United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain took a swipe at former President Trump, saying he serves a “billionaire class,” a day ahead of Trump’s visit to Detroit where he will speak to union workers.
When asked on CNN about the former president’s trip to Detroit, Fain said, “I see no point in meeting with him because I don’t think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for.”
“He serves a billionaire class and that’s what’s wrong this country,” Fain continued.
Trump is expected to travel to Detroit on Wednesday, where he will meet with current and former union workers amid their ongoing strike against the “Big Three” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
Fain said it is “pathetic irony” Trump will reportedly hold a rally at a non-union plant in Macomb County, Mich.
Pathetic irony indeed. Logical thinking would demand he’d be booed off the podium. - But by now I’m also a strong believer in the incredible stupidity of Americans… so not sure what will happen.
The brain drain is going to be real if he wins again.
Partly from emigration, partly from the, you know, fascism.
