About 500 people were in attendance for around 2 hours. Trump reportedly pays $9 an hour for people to attend his rallies, that means he (or, more accurately, his campaign) could pay $9,000 to fill that room and make it look like UAW members support Trump. Very low price for a campaign to cover.
You know those actors that go to Trump rally’s really underestimate the value they are providing to Trump. Perhaps if they organized and bargained collectively they could get higher wages and or benefits.
🍋 And a Lemmy Award for you.
Pretty sure he went to one of the few non union plants to do this too...
If he'd have tried it in a union shop, they'd likely have shown up to yell shit at him.
No, these are those crisis actors that republicans are always complaining about. Everyone on the left was like, “what the fuck are you talking about,” because they came up with the idea.
They've always been doing this shit and they just think everyone else is, too. That's how we got W. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot
500 paid employees. Just 1 fraud though.
They'd better demand to be paid in advance...
Holy shit, trump was involved in a fraud?
It was the biggest ~~inauguration~~ auto workers really ever. Bigger than Biden's!
It was followed by a perfect phone call, just perfect, you never heard such a phone call.
Looking at the link to the source article, they have a quote from donald duck: "You can be loyal to American labor or you can be loyal to the environmental lunatics," Trump said at one point. "But you can’t really be loyal to both. It’s one or the other."
The man is a miserable piece of shit constantly spreading misinformation and anti-innovative/anti-American rhetoric for the sole purpose of angering his uneducated, gullible supporters. The longer he stays out of prison, the more crimes he commits.
He was invited by management to a non-union plant.
Imagine that, someone who committed fraud is committing more fraud.
I know right? It's the biggest no shit headline I've seen in some time. Trump, a life long professional fraud. Attended an event attended by frauds? You don't say.
who could have predicted that the con-man hosting an event at a non-union shop to show support for the union would have fake union members in attendance?
Seems par for the course
Union members for Trump... SLUGS FOR SALT!!! TUNA FOR SUSHI!!!
I’m shocked that only some of them were frauds.
They're all frauds, some of them are just more fraud than others.
Trump astroturfing? I’m shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
SAG is still striking, would these actors be scabs?
A fraudster using fraud to deceive people? How new!
“Some”
Some were frauds, others were morons. Most were both.
I’d celebrate “trump drowned in his own piss day” with my whole family. It’d probably be a real boost to economy too, everyone buying hot dogs and lighter fluid and stuff.
Fake it until you make it... or in trump's case, just keep faking it.
Right out of the Russian playbook
What a surprise. /s
What, did they inflate the value of their real estate holdings too?
Lol, pathetic. How embarrassing.
I passed a Trump branded office in Romeo, MI yesterday and now I know what it was for.
Just following in big Papa Putin’s footsteps.
