ICYMI: Plagued by Inflation, Working-Class Michiganders Turn to Trump

Press Releases

 

In case you missed it, Democrat puppet Shawn Fain is out of touch with Michigan auto workers and should focus more on protecting Michigan jobs than his own political ambitions.

Don Shreves, a veteran in the auto industry, told the Washington Examiner that “from where I sit and experience life in my community and in my job, the Republicans are more for the common man and for America working its way up into the upper class..And the Democrats are for the elites, rewarding those that have already gotten there.”

And Don’s not alone. Another retired United Auto Workers member said that “our jobs have been leaving the plants and it always happened under the Democrats’ watch…they’re not for the working people. I just believe they’re all padding their pockets.”

Kamala Harris’ policies are destroying the lives of working-class Michiganders. Her job-crushing electric vehicle mandate is crippling our manufacturing industry, raising costs, and sending even more jobs to China.

Pollster and Communication strategist Frank Luntz recently said that “Donald Trump is doing better among the average union member…than any Republican has done in decades.”

In focus groups, Luntz continued that the “Union membership says [leadership] doesn’t speak for me.”

And that’s exactly what these Michigan auto workers are saying.

Just about every other truck that was coming or going from the Stellantis Mack Assembly plant on Jean Avenue used a honk or a thumbs-up to greet an assembled group standing on the corner of Jean and Mack holding “Autoworkers for Trump” signs.

However, not every reaction included a thumb, explained Don Shreves, who took a half-day off of work to attend the local rally. “There were occasional fingers as well,” he said, smiling. “We just wave back and tell them not to be a hater.”

Shreves has worked in the auto industry since 1986, and at 65, he’s still there as a product design engineer. Like many kids from western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, where his family hailed from, he went to college to be an engineer “because we knew we would be building things and someone had to design them,” he explained.

Shreves was attending his third of a series of nine consecutive Autoworkers for Trump mini-rallies organized by Brian Pannebecker, a retired union autoworker who has become a sort of point man in the working-class movement here after President Donald Trump called him up onstage not once but twice in his visits here.
