  1. Not the first time. So many times trump was caught standing in front of rail workers, union workers, etc, and they weren’t. They were paid actors for a photo op. Trump lies. Don’t ever believe him.

  2. Conman’s gotta con. Let’s hope he can’t con his way back into the White House. He’s certainly getting all the help he can from all the bad actors out there.

    >Supporters at a Trump rally in Detroit held by Republican vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance appeared wearing T-shirts stating “Auto Workers for Trump,” but later admitted they were not autoworkers.

    >More than a dozen at the event Tuesday were wearing the shirts, but six told The Detroit News that they were not from the industry.

    Do you think we’ll ever really know just how much of Trump’s “support” from convenient groups at his rallys was smoke and mirrors? It’s just like Trump waving to non-existant crowds of supporters out of frame for photo ops. Remember all those pictures where someone snapped a shot from a different angle of him waving to an empty field or a parking lot?

  4. So much time, effort, and energy put into putting up a facade. My one takeaway from Trump’s presidency was that they put more effort into legitimizing lies than actually doing the work to make meaningful change. Apparently this is good enough for a not insignificant portion of the voting populace.

    His true believers don’t care. They enjoy being lied to. It must excite them.

  6. The GOP playbook is pretty stale.

    Joe the Plumber.
    – Not a plumber
    – Name isn’t Joe

    A tale as old as time, remember when all those “Floridians” (out of state GOP campaign staff) were protesting the recounts in 2000?

    Anytime you see a group wearing this or that for trump, they responded to a craigs list ad and are given the shirts and a check.

  9. I hate that outright lying is so normal now. It really is like we are living on a different planet where up is down.

    Wait till they put red armbands on and wear jackboots with those red MAGAt hats.

  11. This is old news. You can look at his campaigns finance spending and see that they hire actors to pretend to be union workers. It’s pathetic and sad that this piece of shit does crap like this.

    Vote Blue down the ballot.

    wonder if the teamsters national leadership knows how many scabs Trump associates with

  13. “We’re not autoworkers and we’re not actually FOR Trump, we’re just here for the paycheck”

  14. “DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS FOR TRUMP” in Arizona is run by a Trumper couple in Anthem, Az.

    Turns out they don’t make car parts for the American working man, because that’s who they aren’t and that’s who they don’t care about.

  16. More bearing of false witness, a commandment sin against God. Just ask forgiveness and do it again tomorrow.

    *“Enten said Trump was polling ahead of Harris by 31 points among voters who graduated from vocational and trade schools.”*

    Harry Joe Enten, CNN’s 36 year old “senior” (löl) political writer, provides ZERO reference to what data he is talking about. Seriously guys, CNN has gone so off the rails in the last few years it’s insane.

  18. Well, at least Trump still has the support of all those white guys who wore “Blacks for Trump” t-shirts.

  19. If you want to know what Trump is doing to tip the scales in his favor, just pay attention to what he’s accusing others of.

  20. The “Racist inbreds for trump” t-shirts are at the cleaners so all of them have to wear “blacks for dt”bisexual furrys for dt”, “union workers for dt” t-shirts until their main drip has the bbq sauce cleaned off.

  21. No mention of this in the conservative subs. As usual, their heads are up their asses with lies that FEMA is funding illegal aliens, and they’re clutching their pearls that Waltz said the electoral college should go.

    Everything with Trump is a lie. But when you’re deep in a cult, you accept the lies as part of who he is.
    They know this, and don’t care.
    These are not normal people, and these are not normal times.

  23. Just like the ‘spontaneous’ crowd how just happened to be standing around holding signs with his name on them that day in ’15 when he oozed down the golden escalator and stained all our lives forever.

  24. Paid crisis actors. They may not be, but plenty of his supporters are still dumb enough to vote for him. Even though he is passing policies that will keep his people super rich! And I’m not talking about his constituents.

    IIRC, people get paid to hoot and holler and act like jackasses at his rallies. The rest are white supremacists, self-hating minorities, and wives/kids forced to be there.

    So they may not be autoworkers but they are Nazis… And that’s what is important to them. Well that and getting Trump elected dictator.
