They Won't Punish Him!

There's a Republican within the UAW.

We must not get complacant. If we allow the junk food media to keep allowing free advertising for Washed Up 45, we will face another chaotic four years.

Washed Up 45 will not attend the next Republican debate and the RNC will not punish him, sanction him or have him removed off the ballot. The far right is touting polls saying he is beating incumbent President Joe Biden by 10 points and the union busting former president is going to make inroads with white union workers.

Most networks will not cover Washed Up 45's speech due to his continuous lies and misinformation. 

His prime-time remarks will serve as counterprogramming to the September 27 debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

The news comes amid the ongoing United Auto Workers strike, which began last week after the union and the nation’s three largest automakers failed to reach a deal to avert it.

“The auto workers are being sold down the river by their leadership, and their leadership should endorse Trump,” the former president told NBC News in an interview last week.

UAW President Shawn Fain pushed back on the news of Washed Up 45’s upcoming speech.

“Every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like Donald Trump at the expense of workers,” Fain said in an emailed statement. “We can’t keep electing billionaires and millionaires that don’t have any understanding what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get by and expecting them to solve the problems of the working class.”

The former president’s visit to the swing state of Michigan signals a look ahead to the general election. Amid concerns about his electability beyond the GOP primary, his team is eager to pick off voters anywhere they perceive as potentially vulnerable for Biden.

The Washed Up 45 campaign on Tuesday started running a radio ad in Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, aimed at appealing to auto workers amid the ongoing strike, according to a campaign spokesperson. The ad tries to cast the former president as supportive of auto workers but doesn’t explicitly mention the strike. The ad and will run on sports and rock-themed radio stations in Detroit and Toledo, according to the spokesperson.

Washed Up 45 wants to pick off Democratic voters who are dissatisfied with Biden.

Biden’s reelection campaign, criticizing what it deemed a “self-serving photo op,” said Monday night that Washed Up 45 was going to Michigan to “pretend he didn’t spend his entire failed presidency selling (Michigan workers) out at every turn.”

“Instead of standing with workers, Trump cut taxes for the super-wealthy while auto companies shuttered their doors and shipped American jobs overseas,” said spokesperson Ammar Moussa, who also noted that the former president lost Michigan to Biden in 2020.

Details of Washed Up 45's Detroit trip and the radio ad were first reported by The New York Times.
