There's something to consider about Trump's visit with the auto workers. [View all]

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.
