And I haven't heard it mentioned.
Of course they're non-union and it's only a supplier of minute transmission parts, but one glaring detail is barely mentioned. He wasn't invited there by the workers.
The company is offering the plant for what amounts to a campaign stop, with what may be to some degree a captive audience. Drake Enterprises is simply making a backdoor campaign donation and hopes the investment pays off in 2025.
Trump is not supporting the workers.

The traitor was visiting non-union people, and Pres. Biden was visiting current union workers et al.
We don't have a legitimate media any longer. It started going down hill when the news division was folded into the entertainment division. The news division used to have it's OWN budget etc. I don't fool with watching local news much anymore. I get our local news from other States and from friends who are government workers here in California.

(6,991 posts)One station was KTLA, and it was a male anchor, early AM. And the other station was of course Faux News, and a woman anchor. Late night It makes me SO angry that most of these corporate media people normalize that bastard tRump.

I'm so sick of these news stations normalizing this asshole
And that Washington post poll where the criminal is leading Pres. Biden by almost 10 points? The cross tabs on that 'thing' was so bad, that the guy at the Post Dan Balz said that this was an outlier poll Why the hell publish it then? These newspapers publishing their OWN polling is "whack."
tRump leading Pres. Biden by 20% amongst young people?
And mostly landlines were used in the polling.
Landlines ONLY reach 2% of those being polled by landline 👀

(16,042 posts)Does that mean they aren't necessary for the transmission to function correctly?

It's a gray area calling them "autoworkers".

(43,787 posts)Trump supports no one but himself. Not his wife, not his children, not his lawyers, not other republicans, not 12 year old rape victims, not hurricane victims, not union workers, not Drake Enterprises, not homeless people. I could go on.
Thanks teammate. A captive audience indeed. May trump discover being a captive audience.
