Look, it’s not a left or a proper view to say that Donald Trump doesn’t precisely know what the hell he’s speaking about. Particularly when it comes to the auto business. He was kind of proper nonetheless, with this bizarre non-sequitur throughout a marketing campaign cease this week in Flint, Michigan: Nukes are a menace to the auto business.
To be clear, Trump is technically proper, as a result of nuclear weapons are a menace to, nicely, all the things, however that’s so far as we’re prepared to throw Trump a bone. Chatting with and taking questions from auto employees in Flint, Michigan on September 17, Trump in all probability ought to have talked about every kind of points affecting the employees and their lives. As a substitute, he concern mongered about Chinese language EVs killing the American auto business, even going as far as to offer a timeline of when the auto business would die, whereas blaming EV incentives for the homicide. One among his largest mind farts was when somebody requested a query in regards to the menace to manufacturing jobs.
Through the rally a person by the title of Isaiah stood and stated he’s a third-generation UAW employee who at the moment works at a Ford plant. After declaring that he was “constructing vans right here in America!” Trump stated “Prepare, you’re going to be doing loads of it.” He then requested Trump what the previous president and convicted felon thought the largest menace to manufacturing jobs in Michigan and what he would do to get rid of that menace. With out hesitation, Trump spewed his commonplace phrase vomit.
“Okay, so I’ll get into one other little little bit of a protracted reply. As a result of while you say main menace, to me we now have one actually main menace. That’s referred to as nuclear weapons.”
I imply, Trump is true. Nuclear weapons are a menace. Nevertheless that was under no circumstances a correct response to the query the younger man requested. Final time I checked, no international locations had been threatening Michigan manufacturing facilities with nuclear strikes. The hits didn’t cease coming throughout the city corridor.
Right here he’s saying that sea degree rise as a result of world warming could be good as a result of there’d be extra sea entrance property whereas the group cheers. Only a reminder; this was in Michigan. These are contemporary water folks!
One other clip exhibits him saying he’ll decrease the price of groceries by elevating costs on imported meals. One among our presidential candidates people. November goes to be nuts.
