Trump 2024 Ad

Driving home from work tonight they played a rather lengthy Trump for President 2024 ad on Detroit sports station 97.1

It was filled with lies about Trump supporting Unions and claims that Biden policies do not.

Alex Wagner on MSNBC does a good job of debunking that narrative here

Unfortunately most union workers don't watch MSNBC. They watch Fox, or follow right wing radio/social media, and sports talk radio.

Walter Reuther days, union men were hard core Democrats. That chanced with Nixon and Reagan and the hardhats.
