The United Auto Workers’ decision to endorse Kamala Harris’ presidential run has apparently gotten under the skin of Donald Trump, who has responded by insulting the union’s leader as “a stupid person”.
…
Trump’s remarks allude to the harsh 100% tariff he has proposed on imported cars. Economists have warned 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 November’s election.
…
Fain and the UAW – one of the US’s largest and most diverse labor unions – nonetheless gave their coveted endorsement to the vice-president, saying in a statement that Harris had a “proven track record of delivering for the working class”.

That’s a weird thing to say

I’m so glad Biden dropped out because now he just looks senile.
“senile” might just be the kindest word anyone could use to describe trump…
You would have thought “weird” was the kindest, but it’s really getting under the skin of the MAGA crowd.
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 they’re attacking. It’s like those superficial bullies from high-school who in reality are tremendously insecure.
Because they’re fascists.
To a fascist, weird = not normal = one of the OTHERS = an evil and dangerous abomination that must be eliminated one way or the other for the good of the Reich.
They have fragile egos and no imagination. I’m not surprised in the slightest.
The elementary-school-graduate words were wasted on them, apparently.
It’s just funny that Biden tried everything from ‘convicted felon’ to ‘crazy guy’ and his surrogates added things like ‘rapist’ and ‘dictator’ and such and none of it got under their skin.
But ‘weird?’ That’s a bridge too far!
Sometimes it’s the simplest things.
Might be why it took so long to find messaging that hit. “Fascist”? They shrug it off and call you the real fascist for calling them fascist. “Deplorable”? Too mean; Democrats aren’t allowed to be mean, and women definitely aren’t.
“Weird” is what threads the needle. Who would have guessed that even weeks ago, much less in 2016?
Saw on good point on here the other day. It gets under their skin so bad to be called weird because they know they are and their entire platform rests on convincing you that they aren’t
It’s also a simple word that they all know. You could try to analyze them and talk about their sociopathic tendencies and it’ll fly over their head. Call them “weird” though and they know that word very well.
Donald Trump, who has responded by insulting the union’s leader as “a stupid person”.
Coming from Trump, I’d take that as a badge of honor.
It’s a projection, naturally.
I’d make it my social media bio.
Yeah, Fain should give him The Ol’ Greta Switcheroo 😁✊
The man who can’t stand the heat. He calls everyone names all the time but when someone says something about him, they a “nasty mean horrible person”. Thinnest skin ever. I’m surprised we can’t see his internals.
Thinnest skin ever. I’m surprised we can’t see his internals.
He makes up for it with all that spray tan.
Trump calling Shawn Fain stupid? That’s like a lump of coal calling a window opaque…
Shawn Fain could destroy Trump with a look and kick his flabby ass too.
All this guy knows how to do is call people names. And he’s not even good at it.
And yet he became president
Yeah, he managed to con a whole lot of people.
Maybe he needs more live wasps in his life.
Specifically the part of his life that is all of his hamberders. Preferably a mix of Yellowjackets and Asian Giant Hornets.
Sincerely, a spheksophope who would only wish such a fate on the worst of the worst humans in the world.
“That’s L-A-F-F-I-N-apostrophe Kamala”
What a fucking weirdo.
Somehow I don’t think Shawn Fain is bothered by what TFG calls him. No doubt he’s been called and threatened with worse. ✊
Racist grandpa Trump
I know you are, but what am I?
I think that’s an appropriate 1st grade level response.
Shawn Fain is such a charismatic speaker, the contrast between Trump and Fain is night and day.
He’s starting to sound like a poppler
Yes, I’m sure Shawn Fain just made that decision in a vacuum without any discussion among the union.
How weirdly rude. Que mal creado!?!
*criado
Sorry lol
TY!
Malcriado
TY! You’d think I couldn’t use translation software. I like this phrase as it calls into question #45’s upbringing, his parents, etc, and yet avoids using profanity.
