Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for failing to continue efforts to bring critical industries back to the United States.
Trump mentioned that during his presidency, there was progress in relocating major industries to the U.S., but under Biden, this trend has reversed.
Trump said, “Even the CHIPS Act, money goes to foreign countries.”
“How about that?” he asked.
“We were moving big on bringing all of that back,” he promised.
“I did that through a system of tariffs and other things and frankly we’re not going to protect you if you take our businesses. We don’t want you taking our businesses,” added Trump.
Trump said, “The United Autoworkers is in very big trouble because of this electric vehicle policy.”
“You can’t make electric cars in this country. The United Autoworkers is in very, very big trouble. I think I’m going to win their vote. I guess I probably can’t win the top guy because he’s I guess a committed Democrat but I think we’re going to get a lot of labor unions supporting me. Their people vote for me. Many of the Teamsters workers, go and quiz it and poll it, those workers are voting for me,” he added.
“I think it’s a lot of things. I think they watch him on television,” suggested the former president.
“They’re smart people. They see they him and know they can’t vote for this guy. You watch this guy—he can’t answer a question. How can you vote for him? These union people are smart. I have unions talking to me that would have never talked to any Republican before and they’re talking about it because they’re saying how can you support a guy like this?” said Trump.
Trump began, “First of all, he’s selling out to foreign countries at a level that nobody has ever seen before.”
“All of the things we were doing to bring it back, he’s letting it go. What he’s doing to the auto companies is going to be a disaster. The reason they make these cars, because the auto companies aren’t that stupid, but the reason is they get huge subsidies for making electric cars. They’re sitting all over the United States right now and nobody wants to buy them because they’d like to be able to drive a little while before they need to go and recharge it and sit for an hour. The electric car policy is a disaster. I’m not knocking electric cars. I think all products of that nature are wonderful, but they don’t go far and they’re very expensive,” explained Trump.
“Electric cars are fine if you don’t want to drive long distances and if you have extra money. They’re all going to be made in China,” he predicted.
“The big plants are there. We can’t do what China can do for that—but they can’t do what we can do for a thing called gasoline. If you got rid of all the cars in this country and went to electric immediately, it would only have a tiny little impact on emissions—a very small impact. If you immediately said no car will be combustion, no car will be fed through gasoline, the impact will be so small, but we’re going through and he’s actually destroying lives by doing this. The cars are too expensive. They’re not going to be made here. They just don’t go far,” he lamented.
Trump said, “The Democrats have an automatic advantage because they have the biggest base.”
“They have a base of certain groups. I think that base is being eroded. I think the African Americans are coming to me. I think the unions are coming to me,” revealed Trump.
He highlighted the impact on various sectors, from semiconductor manufacturing to the auto industry.
Trump also discussed Biden’s electric vehicle policy, suggesting that it is commercially unsuccessful and may not be favored by consumers.
Additionally, Trump expressed confidence in winning support from union workers and suggested that the Democratic base is eroding.
He accused Democrats of engaging in tactics to suppress potential threats within their own party and projected that they blame him for behaviors they themselves exhibit.
