The United Auto Workersā decision to endorseĀ Kamala Harrisā presidential run has apparently gotten under the skin of Donald Trump, who has responded by insulting the unionās leader as āa stupid personā.
ā¦
Trumpās remarks allude to the harsh 100% tariff he hasĀ proposedĀ on imported cars. Economists haveĀ warnedĀ that such a tariff would raise product costs for Americans, but Trump has insisted on it, saying it reflects how he would prioritize the auto industry if returned to White House in Novemberās election.

Fain and the UAW ā one of the USās largest and most diverse labor unions ā nonetheless gave their coveted endorsement to the vice-president,Ā sayingĀ in a statement that Harris had a āproven track record of delivering for the working classā.
They have fragile egos and no imagination. Iām not surprised in the slightest.
The elementary-school-graduate words were wasted on them, apparently.
Itās just funny that Biden tried everything from āconvicted felonā to ācrazy guyā and his surrogates added things like ārapistā and ādictatorā and such and none of it got under their skin.
But āweird?ā Thatās a bridge too far!
Sometimes itās the simplest things.
