politicususa--2020-10-30--Democrat Mark Kelly Rips Trump for Disrespecting his Republican Opponent Martha McSally

One of the most closely watched states on election night is sure to be Arizona .
The state has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1952 .
Polls , however , are showing that Joe Biden has a very good chance at garnering its 15 electoral votes in 2020 .
Another important battle is the senate race between Democrat Mark Kelly and Republican incumbent Martha McSally .
Polls are showing that Kelly has an even wider lead over McSally than Biden has over Trump .
Ticket splitting is common in the state .
Since having control of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year , one would think that he would want as many Republican lawmakers as possible .
That didn ’ t seem to be the case during a rally the other night in the state .
Trump humiliated McSally by giving her only 1 minute to plead her case .
“ Martha , come up , just fast , quickly , ” Trump said .
“ Fast , fast , c ’ mon quick .
You ’ ve got one minute , one minute , say .
They don ’ t want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Quick , quick , quick .
C ’ mon , let ’ s go.
” Today , a reporter asked Kelly , “ The president was here just the other day and he ’ s formed this partnership with Martha McSally .
But he stood up here on stage and said that , ‘ nobody wants to hear this , Martha.
’ What did you hear when he made that statement ?
” Kelly responded , “ Well , I think it ’ s unfortunate .
I think the president of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arizona senator .

One of the most closely watched states on election night is sure to be Arizona. The state has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1952. Polls, however, are showing that Joe Biden has a very good chance at garnering its 11 electoral votes in 2020.
Another important battle is the senate race between Democrat Mark Kelly and Republican incumbent Martha McSally. Polls are showing that Kelly has an even wider lead over McSally than Biden has over Trump. Ticket splitting is common in the state.
Since having control of the senate helped Donald Trump avoid impeachment earlier this year, one would think that he would want as many Republican lawmakers as possible.
That didn’t seem to be the case during a rally the other night in the state. Trump humiliated McSally by giving her only 1 minute to plead her case.
“Martha, come up, just fast, quickly,” Trump said. “Fast, fast, c’mon quick. You’ve got one minute, one minute, say. They don’t want to hear this Martha, c’mon. Quick, quick, quick. C’mon, let’s go.”
Today, a reporter asked Kelly, “The president was here just the other day and he’s formed this partnership with Martha McSally. But he stood up here on stage and said that, ‘nobody wants to hear this, Martha.’ What did you hear when he made that statement?”
Kelly responded, “Well, I think it’s unfortunate. I think the president of the United States should have respect for an Arizona senator.”

politicususa--2020-10-30--Joe Biden Lays Into Trump And Brings The Blue Wave To Iowa

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden laid into Trump for hanging out on the golf course instead of passing pandemic aid in Iowa .
Donald Trump refuses to listen to science .
He politicizes the race for a vaccine .
Instead of planning for its safe and equitable , and free distribution , he refuses to provide schools and small businesses the resources to open safely and stay open .
I ’ m going to bring together Republicans and Democrats to deliver economic relief to working families and schools and businesses .
The congress has already passed this legislation .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refused .
He got spent all the time this summer in the golf course bunkers or down in the White House bunker .
I ’ ve been around for a while .
I bet even senator Grassley has to acknowledge .
I don ’ t remember any other president in a crisis where there ’ s a disagreement in the house and the senate between Democrats and Republicans , didn ’ t even try to bring them together to deal with this .
The House back in May passed a Heroes Act , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open safely .
Because it costs money .
You need sanitation .
You need ventilation .
You need masking .
You need distancing .
You need separators .
It all costs money but instead 1 in 6 businesses now out of business .
Because he won ’ t act .
As Trump rambled in Michigan , where he is more interested in soaking in the adulation of supporters and making fun of Kamala Harris ’ s name , Joe Biden is delivering a stinging indictment of Trump ’ s failures and he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the real-life consequences of Trump ’ s refusal to provide help .
Iowa is a dead heat .
While Trump is wasting time trying to recapture his lost 2016 glory , Biden is working on bringing the blue wave back to the Heartland .

As Trump rambled in Michigan, where he is more interested in soaking in the adulation of supporters and making fun of Kamala Harris’s name, Joe Biden is delivering a stinging indictment of Trump’s failures and he is showing voters in a key swing state the real-life consequences of Trump’s refusal to provide help.
Iowa is a dead heat. While Trump is wasting time trying to recapture his lost 2016 glory, Biden is working on bringing the blue wave back to the Heartland.

politicususa--2020-10-30--Trump Could Lose Wisconsin Due To COVID Outbreak

Rep. Mark Pocan ( D-WI ) suggested that election night results could be hurt in Wisconsin due to the state being overwhelmed by COVID .
I think covid is the biggest issue , right ?
When you have the kind of covid cases we have and all the problems we have in Wisconsin with it .
You know , Donald Trump has lied to people over and over and over .
And now the most Republican parts of the state are the areas that have the highest COVID numbers .
And our hospitals are literally bursting at the seams , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in many of these hospitals .
It ’ s certainly on people ’ s minds .
I think this is going to affect the election in a negative way for Donald Trump , because now that people — everyone knows someone who has had COVID .
I talked to someone in the Fox Valley , her and her husband knew 27 people who had COVID .
That ’ s not normal for Wisconsin .
And clearly , you know , people now know the president has not been telling them the truth .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling you the truth about covid , what else isn ’ t he telling you the truth about ?
We ’ re pretty common-sense folks in the upper midwest .
I think his messaging doesn ’ t work .
Wisconsin hospitals are being overrun by COVID cases , and one of the points to follow on election night will be the turnout levels in rural Wisconsin on election day , and the breakdown of non-affiliated and undecided voters .
Trump ’ s base will still be there for him in Wisconsin .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on everyone else that will determine if Joe Biden wins the state .

politicususa--2020-10-30--Trump Claims Therapeutics Are “Working” Even as U.S. Continues to Break Coronavirus Case Records

President Donald Trump claimed that therapeutics are “ working ” and lowering coronavirus fatality rates despite another surge in coronavirus infections across the United States .
“ More Testing equals more Cases .
We have best testing .
Deaths WAY DOWN .
Hospitals have great additional capacity !
Doing much better than Europe , ” he claimed .
The United States registered more than 80,000 new coronavirus cases yesterday alone according to data from the John Hopkins University Covid-19 Tracker .
The president ’ s tweet comes just a day after White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany denied that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” approach to the novel coronavirus pandemic as harsh criticism continues to mount over the Trump administration ’ s response .
President Donald Trump ’ s approach is “ therapeutics , ” McEnany said , “ which by the way has given us the lowest case fatality rate in the world , far lower than Europe.
” ( This is false . )
Therapeutics are not available to all and many Americans face barriers to treatment due to high healthcare costs .
The president himself was treated with therapeutics , namely Remdesivir and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a host of psychiatric side effects ) after he was hospitalized for Covid-19 complications earlier this month and faced criticism for receiving healthcare access unavailable to most American citizens .

President Donald Trump claimed that therapeutics are “working” and lowering coronavirus fatality rates despite another surge in coronavirus infections across the United States.
“More Testing equals more Cases. We have best testing. Deaths WAY DOWN. Hospitals have great additional capacity! Doing much better than Europe,” he claimed.
More Testing equals more Cases. We have best testing. Deaths WAY DOWN. Hospitals have great additional capacity! Doing much better than Europe. Therapeutics working! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 30, 2020
The United States registered more than 80,000 new coronavirus cases yesterday alone according to data from the John Hopkins University Covid-19 Tracker.
The president’s tweet comes just a day after White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany denied that the White House has a “herd immunity” approach to the novel coronavirus pandemic as harsh criticism continues to mount over the Trump administration’s response.
President Donald Trump’s approach is “therapeutics,” McEnany said, “which by the way has given us the lowest case fatality rate in the world, far lower than Europe.” (This is false.)
Therapeutics are not available to all and many Americans face barriers to treatment due to high healthcare costs. The president himself was treated with therapeutics, namely Remdesivir and dexamethasone (a steroid that can trigger a host of psychiatric side effects) after he was hospitalized for Covid-19 complications earlier this month and faced criticism for receiving healthcare access unavailable to most American citizens.
The president also claimed that The New York Times admitted “that patients ill with Covid are getting better faster and at higher (much) percentages.” This is misleading.
The @nytimes now admits that patients ill with Covid are getting better faster and at higher (much) percentages. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 30, 2020
Although the Times reported that “survival rates, even of seriously ill patients, appeared to be improving,” this is as “the country is now averaging more than 75,000 new cases daily, the worst stretch of the pandemic by that measure” and “Deaths, which lag behind cases, remain far below their spring levels but have ticked upward to about 780 each day.”

politicususa--2020-11-01--Opinion: Trump’s Lies about Health Care Workers Profiting Off Of COVID Deaths Exemplify His Assault

Opinion: Trump’s Lies about Health Care Workers Profiting Off Of COVID Deaths Exemplify His Assault On Workers

While reports from Goldman Sachs , J.P. Morgan Chase , and Moody ’ s all link a Biden presidency to a healthier economy and more powerful recovery , Donald Trump continues to peddle lies that the economy will collapse under Biden , stoking fears that people ’ s 401Ks will evaporate .
He persists in these lies despite inheriting an economic recovery from Biden and President Barack Obama that featured record-setting consecutive monthly job growth .
Far from destroying the economy , Obama and Biden saved it , just as during the Great Recession they saved the thousands of jobs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a sizeable Republican contingent , including Mitt Romney , argued that faltering U.S. automakers should declare bankruptcy .
Moreover , despite unemployment levels not seen since the Great Depression and despite the fact that 8 million more Americans have fallen into poverty since COVID-19 relief funding expired , Trump still persists in trying to fool working-class and middle-class Americans into believing he is somehow looking out for them .
His most recent heinous and humongous lie , broadcast at a super-spreader rally last Friday in Michigan , exemplifies his severe economic malfeasance and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ workers .
Both are represented by the fact that he refuses to address the real economic suffering and humanly trying work conditions American workers , particularly healthcare workers , are enduring .
What was the lie ?
Well , as he was once again downplaying the scope and seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic , he then slanderously blamed doctors and healthcare workers for inflating the number of deaths resulting from COVID-19 in order to pad their own pockets .
This is surely one of the most grotesque instances of projection yet from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enrich himself , even enabling genocide so he could make some money .
“ Our doctors get more money if someone dies from Covid .
You know that , right ?
I mean our doctors are very smart people .
So what they do is they say ‘ I ’ m sorry but everybody dies of Covid.
” “ In Germany and other places , if you have a heart attack , or if you have cancer , you ’ re terminally ill , you catch Covid , they say you die of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
With us , when in doubt choose Covid .
It ’ s true , no , it ’ s true .
Now they ’ ll say ‘ oh that ’ s terrible what he said , ’ but that ’ s true .
It ’ s like $ 2,000 more so you get more money.
” These statements are malicious lies that , again , highlight Trump ’ s failure to acknowledge and put in the work of creating policies and taking steps to address real economic suffering and workplace crisis in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these malicious lies on Joy Reid ’ s MSNBC show Friday night , asserting : “ No , doctors do not profit by listing someone as being covid positive on a death certificate .
In fact , most doctors I know have seen cuts to their salary .
.
.
and their hospitals suffer major financial losses.
” She highlighted that the American Hospital Association projects losses for U.S. hospitals reaching $ 320 billion by the end of 2020 , explaining that when hospitals experience a surge , they have to shut down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cancel other surgeries and procedures , meaning healthcare workers lose work .
So , Trump ’ s refusal to recognize the reality of the pandemic and address it through a nationally coordinated plan , as opposed to spreading it at his rallies and encouraging behavior that spreads rather than protects against the virus , has actually hurt the employment conditions of healthcare workers and their economic well-being .
Dr. Bhadelia ’ s commentary followed a segment on Reid ’ s show featuring the traumatic working conditions for doctors , nurses , and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Montana .
We know from numerous media accounts and representations , such as we see in the recent book A Pandemic Nurse ’ s Diary , written by the anonymous Nurse T with author Timothy Sheard , that healthcare workers have lacked the personal protective equipment they need as well as the equipment and resources they need to care properly for victims of the virus .
As Nurse T recounts in the diary , often these workers are sequestered in hotels or must self-quarantine from their families to ensure they do not carry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it to others—in addition to working excruciatingly long hours under extremely dangerous conditions .
Nor does he simply gloss over this reality pretending the economy is doing great and COVID-19 is not a problem , although he does gloss over this reality .
Nope .
He has to go the extra mile and add insult to injury by actually slandering these workers .
Americans and American workers should recognize that Trump will never provide relief or recognition to them .
He seeks only further repression , and he gets a good way there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reality of our collective suffering .

This is surely one of the most grotesque instances of projection yet from the president who has abused his office to enrich himself, even enabling genocide so he could make some money.
Here’s the unevidenced slander he spewed:
“Our doctors get more money if someone dies from Covid. You know that, right? I mean our doctors are very smart people. So what they do is they say ‘I’m sorry but everybody dies of Covid.” “In Germany and other places, if you have a heart attack, or if you have cancer, you’re terminally ill, you catch Covid, they say you die of cancer, you died of heart attack.

These statements are malicious lies that, again, highlight Trump’s failure to acknowledge and put in the work of creating policies and taking steps to address real economic suffering and workplace crisis in America.

She highlighted that the American Hospital Association projects losses for U.S. hospitals reaching $320 billion by the end of 2020, explaining that when hospitals experience a surge, they have to shut down all other parts of the hospital and cancel other surgeries and procedures, meaning healthcare workers lose work. So, Trump’s refusal to recognize the reality of the pandemic and address it through a nationally coordinated plan, as opposed to spreading it at his rallies and encouraging behavior that spreads rather than protects against the virus, has actually hurt the employment conditions of healthcare workers and their economic well-being.
Dr. Bhadelia’s commentary followed a segment on Reid’s show featuring the traumatic working conditions for doctors, nurses, and other staff at a hospital in Billings, Montana. We know from numerous media accounts and representations, such as we see in the recent book A Pandemic Nurse’s Diary, written by the anonymous Nurse T with author Timothy Sheard, that healthcare workers have lacked the personal protective equipment they need as well as the equipment and resources they need to care properly for victims of the virus. As Nurse T recounts in the diary, often these workers are sequestered in hotels or must self-quarantine from their families to ensure they do not carry the virus from their workplaces and transmit it to others—in addition to working excruciatingly long hours under extremely dangerous conditions.
Trump doesn’t just ignore this reality.
Nor does he simply gloss over this reality pretending the economy is doing great and COVID-19 is not a problem, although he does gloss over this reality.
Nope. He has to go the extra mile and add insult to injury by actually slandering these workers.
Americans and American workers should recognize that Trump will never provide relief or recognition to them.
He seeks only further repression, and he gets a good way there simply by repressing their stories and the reality of our collective suffering.

politicususa--2020-10-31--Opinion: Trump And Republicans Are Intent On Decimating America’s Democracy

At the rate Republicans , led by Trump , are attempting to stop voting , it is glaringly apparent they hate democracy nearly as much as they detest the U.S. Constitution .
When Donald Trump refused to say if he would allow a peaceful transfer of power if he does not win re-election , it should have sent a shockwave of outrage throughout the population ; that it did not informs that Americans are well aware that Republicans do not subscribe to the notion of representative democracy .
The concept of a representative democracy as imagined by the nation ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ qualified is allowed to vote , has been anathema to Republicans since the 15th Amendment was ratified .
Whether it was imposing Jim Crow laws , gerrymandering to give one political party unfair advantage , or vehemently opposing allowing women ’ s voices to be counted , there has been a concerted Republican effort to destroy democracy .
Few Americans would argue that Republicans have ever considered the will of the people as a guiding force in how they should govern based on the GOP ’ s fealty to the rich and powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , with an aspiring dictator guiding the GOP , there is an ongoing effort to make Jim Crow , gerrymandering , and vote suppression seem mild compared to outright silencing the people ’ s voices .
In America the states control how elections are run and that is unacceptable to Trump .
In his version of America , Trump controls how elections are conducted and he has taken several states to court in an attempt to make his dictatorial dream come true .
One can hardly imagine the leader of the Executive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states to run elections according to a White House edict , but one never imagined Americans would elect a man with aspirations of becoming America ’ s Kim Jong Un or Saddam Hussein .
No doubt if Trump was able he would abolish elections altogether and declare himself president for life .
Trump has done his best to convince the voters that the electoral process is flawed and corrupt since before his tragic victory in 2016 .
And beginning immediately after his poorly-attended inauguration he began a crusade to cast suspicion on how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trump plague began in earnest in America , the dirty fascist has made some extraordinarily bizarre statements , and taken undemocratic actions , to further his lie that America ’ s electoral system is not just flawed , it is corrupt specifically to hurt Americans who support Trump .
Just this past week , it was reported that “ Trump is Encouraging Voting Fraud in the Week Before Election Day , ” and the title is not far afield from the honest-to-dog truth .
The fascist used Twitter to confuse voters and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system .
He lied and said that a large number of “ early voters have changed their minds and want to modify their vote in favor of Trump ; ” then he encouraged them to do just that .
Trump tweeted : “ Strongly Trending ( Google ) since immediately after the second debate is CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE ?
This refers changing it to me .
The answer in most states is YES .
Go do it.
” It is noteworthy that , as usual , nothing Trump tweeted is true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a small handful of states ; everything else he tweeted is a filthy lie .
Whether any American wants to change their vote in favor of Trump is irrelevant and highly unlikely .

Republicans have been at it for decades and since Barack Obama ’ s first election to the White House , they have made voting more difficult , if not impossible , as part and parcel of their anti-democracy crusade .

BERLIN (Reuters) – The waxwork museum Madame Tussauds in Berlin loaded its effigy of TV star-turned Republican president Donald Trump into a dumpster on Friday, a move apparently intended to reflect its expectations of next Tuesday’s presidential election.
In what seemed a further calculated insult, the statue of his predecessor and nemesis Barack Obama, who counted Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel among his closest allies, remained in place, beaming and besuited.
“Today’s activity is rather of a symbolic character ahead of the elections in the United States,” said the museum’s marketing manager Orkide Yalcindag. “We here at Madame Tussauds Berlin removed Donald Trump’s waxwork as a preparatory measure.”
Trump has trailed his Democratic challenger Joe Biden in national opinion polls for months, partly because of widespread disapproval of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic sweeping Europe and the United States, though recent polls have shown him gaining ground in a handful of key states.
Madame Tussauds’s display also includes former U.S. presidents: regardless of the outcome, Trump and his dumpster are likely to be wheeled back before long.

Now what I ’ m going to do is looking at , again , the average of polls .
President Trump today is ahead in two states .
The two states where he ’ s up about 1 percentage point that is — Texas and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All right .
So still not at 270 .
Then all of these other states here .
You see them in gray .
Joe Biden is ahead in the average of polls .
A lot of options just looking at gray states which represent those that are battleground states available .
Now what I ’ m going to do is I ’ m going to give Joe Biden all of the states where he ’ s got over a 5 % lead in the average of polls today .
Look at those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 258 .
He is still short , though , of the magic 270 by 12 and President Trump is short by 89 .
So how do you get to those numbers all said for both of the candidates ?
There are seven ways for Joe Biden to get to 270 .
There is one way for Donald Trump to get to the White House one more time .
Yes , there ’ s a possibility of a tie as well .
So let ’ s dig into how Joe Biden and the seven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These are they — he can win more or less just one state to get over 270 .
Florida .
He is now the next president of the United States .
Pennsylvania also , 278 .
I can go on and on here .
Also , Georgia , if Joe Biden wins Georgia .
Also , the next President Of The United States .
Option four , just takes North Carolina .
Option five , Arizona and Iowa .
Lots of different paths for Joe Biden to get over 270 and win .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ different narrative here , Alex when it comes to the president .
Only one way for him to get there .
That is if he wins all five of these states that are currently those who , those states that are swing .
The only state he can give up or lose — Iowa .
So you can see here , Alex , a very , very close possibility on both sides , but Joe Biden has several ways .
Donald Trump has one when you look at some of the data we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t one state that will decide the election .
The media continues to suffer from Florida 2000 Syndrome in that they are always looking for one or two states that will be close and decide everything .
If Biden wins North Carolina early on that will be an omen that all of the hand wringing over a close or contested election will be for nothing .
One would rather be in Joe Biden ’ s shoes than Trump ’ s as the election races through its final hours .

MSNBC’s Richard Liu laid it all out:
These are the battleground states. Now what I’m going to do is looking at, again, the average of polls. President Trump today is ahead in two states. The two states where he’s up about 1 percentage point that is — Texas and Ohio. That gets him to 181. All right. So still not at 270. Then all of these other states here. You see them in gray. Joe Biden is ahead in the average of polls. A lot of options just looking at gray states which represent those that are battleground states available. Now what I’m going to do is I’m going to give Joe Biden all of the states where he’s got over a
5% lead in the average of polls today. Look at those numbers. He’s up to 258. He is still short, though, of the magic 270 by 12 and President Trump is short by 89. So how do you get to those numbers all said for both of the candidates?
….
There are seven ways for Joe Biden to get to 270. There is one way for Donald Trump to get to the White House one more time. Yes, there’s a possibility of a tie as well. So let’s dig into how Joe Biden and the seven different ways he can get there. These are they — he can win more or less just one state to get over 270. Florida.

Option four, just takes North Carolina. Option five, Arizona and Iowa. Lots of different paths for Joe Biden to get over 270 and win.
However, it’s a much different narrative here, Alex when it comes to the president. Only one way for him to get there. That is if he wins all five of these states that are currently those who, those states that are swing. The only state he can give up or lose — Iowa. So you can see here, Alex, a very, very close possibility on both sides, but Joe Biden has several ways. Donald Trump has one when you look at some of the data we have today.
There is probably isn’t one state that will decide the election. The media continues to suffer from Florida 2000 Syndrome in that they are always looking for one or two states that will be close and decide everything.
If Biden wins North Carolina early on that will be an omen that all of the hand wringing over a close or contested election will be for nothing.

It is being reported that Trump turned thousands of his supporters out into the cold Pennsylvania night with no shuttles after his rally.
CNN‘s DJ Judd tweeted:
Trump has finished and left, but there’s thousands of supporters who have been let loose into the night with no sign of the shuttles they’ve been told will take them back to parking. People are filling the street, blocking the road for ambulances and police. pic.twitter.com/uMgfvUZ4Jg — DJ Judd (@DJJudd) October 31, 2020
It is the second time in a week that Trump has managed to hold a rally, and not provide his supporters transportation back to their cars.
The Trump campaign has issued a strong denial that they are trying to freeze their supporters to death and respond with a healthy dose of everything’s fine.
Not really. They called it fake news:
The tweet above from @DJJudd is fake news. We have 47 buses taking supporters back to parking. The line is moving and there are heating tents set up. Security and staff are helping people. But those facts wouldn’t get DJ any retweets. This picture was just taken⤵ pic.twitter.com/W079jHksp0 — Tim Murtaugh (@TimMurtaugh) November 1, 2020
Trump is doing a lot of rallies, but he did manage to have enough shuttles to get his supporters to the rally, so one would think that it wouldn’t be too difficult to use those same shuttles to bring people back to their cars.
Unless the Trump campaign is so broke that they can’t afford round-trip shuttle service.
Either way, people who show up to support Donald Trump always seem to be getting left out in the cold.

Trump claimed to have given Michigan lots of new auto plants, but the President’s claim is a lie.
PolitiFact found, “He didn’t save the auto industry. The major U.S. automakers recovered strongly during the Obama administration. After rising for 10 years, Michigan auto industry employment fell on Trump’s watch, even before the coronavirus hit. He didn’t bring many new plants. One company, the Italian-American Fiat Chrysler, announced a new assembly plant in Detroit, on the site of an idled engine factory, as part of a package of investments in Michigan.”
It was actions taken at the tail end of the Bush administration, and specifically, the heavy lifting was done by the Obama administration to save the auto industry from collapse. Trump has done virtually nothing to help the auto industry, which is why he is lying on the campaign trail and trying to take credit for the hard work of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
