Trump Tries to Lure Michigan Voters With Vision of Auto Revival
Trump Tries to Lure Michigan Voters With Vision of Auto Revival

“The United States lost 500 auto and auto parts factories under the Obama and Biden disaster,” Trump said, reading from a teleprompter. “Before the virus, my administration added over 200 auto and auto parts plants.” “It says 200, can you believe that?” he added.
The reason why Trump stopped himself in the middle of his speech and said "can you believe that?" -- is because he couldn't even believe it -- because he was reading the speech for the first time and had no idea that a lie of that size would be in the speech.....but why not flat out lie about something like that? The people you are talking to will believe it anyway -- and even if it isn't true -- at least the lie would trigger the other side......
Fact of the matter is -- when Obama took office after the 2008 financial collapse -- there were 691,000 auto industry jobs.......when he left office, there were 953,000 auto industry jobs....as of now, there are 904,000 jobs in the auto industry.....and no, there were not 200 new auto plants being built....but like I said, you might as well lie since you know no one will really challenge you anyway...
