Whoa! It seems like Trump may have messed up by lying about the crowd size at last week's #Detroit rally, where #UAW members were out in force.

Never in my life have I seen anything like this before. #HarrisWalz2024 #Solidarity #UnionStrong

The United Auto Workers has filed federal labor charges against "disgraced billionaires Donald #Trump and Elon #Musk" for advocating for "the illegal firing of striking workers" in their Twitter broadcast last night. #UAW
