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 unionā€™s leader as ā€œa stupid personā€.

ā€¦

Trumpā€™s 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 Novemberā€™s election.

ā€¦

Fain and the UAW ā€“ one of the USā€™s 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 ā€œproven track record of delivering for the working classā€.

    Because their entire political platform is about superficial attacks on others while painting themselves as the cool normal people. Their entire existence hinges that they are normal relateble people, when you call them weird it means that they are in the same class that theyā€™re attacking. Itā€™s like those superficial bullies from high-school who in reality are tremendously insecure.
