Sep 28, 2023 — The former president spoke at a non-unionized auto parts supplier in Michigan as he worked to win over blue-collar voters.


The Detroit News reported that there were about 400 to 500 Trump supporters in the audience at the event, which was filled with pro-Trump signs and MAGA hats. Drake Enterprises says it employs over 125 people at the facility. The UAW does not represent its workforce.

One person in the crowd who held a "union members for Trump" sign acknowledged, when approached by a reporter, that she wasn't a union member, while another person who had a sign that read "auto workers for Trump" said he was not an auto worker when asked for an interview. Neither person provided their names, the newspaper said.
