Few things going on in this article, but I wanted to highlight this part,
Whether Donald Trump is actually going to speak to currently striking union members is not actually certain.
The vow toā¦ speak in front of 500 āformer or currentā members came from a āsource close to the Trump campaignā, most likely just his comms team, on day four of the UAW strike earlier this month. But that was the beginning and end of the details being released by Trumpworld on the matter. And other factors throw that promise into question entirely, with the most obvious being the venue for Mr Trumpās speech.
The former president is set to speak at Drake Enterprises, a plant that does not have a unionised workforce and is not actually tangentially related to the demands of the striking UAW autoworkers down the road. Itās not even clear if the campaign means to speak to UAW union members, or whether any former or current union employee is fair game for a ticket to the show.
The Independent attempted to reach a Trump campaign spokesperson for clarification on why Mr Trump would choose to speak at a non-union shop if he plans to address striking union autoworkers. There was no response on Tuesday.
One source with ties to the striking autoworkers verified to The Independent that Mr Trump had not been in contact with UAW at any level prior to his planned visit.
That, combined with a rumour that the Trump campaign is relying on a major anti-union political group to fill seats in the audience, raises even more questions about both the content of Mr Trumpās address and the makeup of the audience that will hear it firsthand.

(Itās clearly a piece originally published in The Independent, but I couldnāt find it on their site when I looked for it)
Thereās a place where he could go to speak to 500 current union members: the picket line.
Instead heās going to a non-union shop at the invitation of their management and supported by a political group whose entire purpose is to fight against unionization. Itās as anti-union a media event as one could do, but for some reason the media repeats or at least humors the idea that this is trying to garner support from union members.
So, itās his usual strategy then. Make all sorts of conflicting statements with conflicting messages so that each supporter can believe that heās genuinely speaking for their interests but that trump is simply lying to all the other supporters that have conflicting interests.
Donāt forget that heās trying to steal the news from Biden since Biden is one of the first presidents or the first to go to join the picket line. It waters down Bidenās headline.
Heāll say heās on their side, talk about ābeautiful peopleā and the āgreat actionsā he will take or some other non-committal weasel-words, and then continue on not caring about anyone but himself and let the GOP do whatever they want on things he doesnāt care about (like union workers).
We have seen this song and dance going on for nearly a decade nowā¦Iām tired bossā¦
Okay so, demented narcissist sees Dark Brandon, wants to be cool, chews someone out about why theyāve failed him in this regard; the shit crew digs a hole at Four Seasons Landscaping or thereabouts, and the right wing media turns it into a sloppy lie that trumpās base eats with both hands.
Next verse, same as the first.
