Trump showed how out of touch he is with Michiganders while Michigan Dems continue to build the middle class
LANSING — To no one’s shock, Trump and the MI GOP continued pushing misinformation on electric cars, jobs, and our democracy this Sunday in Oakland County. Instead of peddling the disgraced former president’s conspiracy theories and attempting to carry out his MAGA agenda in Michigan, Republicans should get on board with Democrats’ countless policies that are growing the middle class and lowering costs for families.
In Trump’s “alternate reality”, as Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes put it, he clearly didn’t notice the tens of thousands of auto jobs brought to Michigan that Democrats secured last year – jobs that Trump sent overseas. Nor did he notice that Democrats are creating thousands of good paying, union jobs – in all fairness, helping the middle class was never his thing anyway.
