United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain took a swipe at former President Trump, saying he serves a ā€œbillionaire class,ā€ a day ahead of Trumpā€™s visit to Detroit where he will speak to union workers.

When asked on CNN about the former presidentā€™s trip to Detroit, Fain said, ā€œI see no point in meeting with him because I donā€™t think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for.ā€

ā€œHe serves a billionaire class and thatā€™s whatā€™s wrong this country,ā€ Fain continued.

Trump is expected to travel to Detroit on Wednesday, where he will meet with current and former union workers amid their ongoing strike against the ā€œBig Threeā€ automakers ā€” Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.

Fain said it is ā€œpathetic ironyā€ Trump will reportedly hold a rally at a non-union plant in Macomb County, Mich.

    This is outrageous. Trump has done nothing but supported unions and workers rights. Thatā€™s why I dare anyone to prove to me that Iā€™m wrong. He only works with the most progressive countries like Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia.

      Hey thatā€™s not fair. If any of these union bozos can slip him more cash under the table than the aforementioned three, heā€™d be happy to work with them for now.

        So you are saying we should start an NFT fake university beauty pageant and pay Trump off for his support? I donā€™t know if he would go for it.
