It turns out that Donald Trump isn’t going to Detroit. He isn’t speaking to autoworkers, and he isn’t meeting with union members. His Detroit autoworkers speech is a complete fake.
Amid the United Auto Workers strike against the Detroit Three automakers, former President Donald Trump will visit Clinton Township on Wednesday, according to his campaign.
Trump, who’s the leading Republican presidential candidate for the 2024 election, will deliver remarks at Drake Enterprises, an automotive supplier, at 8 p.m. on Sept. 27. He’s expected to speak to current and former union members. Doors will open at 4 p.m., according to Trump’s campaign.

Joe Biden has the backs of the same American workers that Trump is attempting to exploit and sabotage for political gain.
Everything that Donald Trump touches is a lie wrapped in fraud.
