"Donald Trump Just Insulted Every Autoworker in Michigan
I intervjun med Bloombergs Micklethwait på
Economic Club of Chicago - då Trump konfronterades med att hans ekonomiska plan skulle dubbla statsskulden jmft m Harris - så
sa han att "his belief that autoworkers do such simplistic labor that it could be done by children."
Trump suggested that assembly-plant workers “take [pieces] out of a box and they assemble them. We could have a child do it.”
Det gick säkert gemene man förbi - men inte arbetarna.
Fernandes, en medlem av United Auto Workers Local 14 reagerade:
“I challenge you, Trump, to one full 12-hour day in any auto assembly plant.
I want to see you assemble parts out of a box for 12 hours. Until you accept and complete this challenge, until you actually work a manual labor job, you keep the name of the UAW out of your mouth. Solidarity, y’all.”
Shared by the UAW on Wednesday afternoon, the video was viewed more than 60,000 times in 24 hours."
Lampkin, en medlem av UAW Local 1264 reagerade likaväl:
" Donald Trump has no idea what he’s doing. He does not support autoworkers. He wants to divide autoworkers, as well as this country. He couldn’t survive a day in our facility. He cannot make our company great—let alone America great again.”
UAW president Shawn Fain:
" Trump’s a con artist. That’s what he’s always been,” UAW president Shawn Fain explained to me last week, before Trump did the Bloomberg interview."
"Donald Trump is a billionaire who’s never worked a real job in his life. He doesn’t know the first thing about hard work, and he wouldn’t last a day in an auto plant.
He isn’t fit to be an autoworker, and he certainly isn’t fit to be the president."
