Some Attendees At Donald Trump's Autoworkers Speech Were Total Frauds: Report
The crowd included people exposed by a local newspaper for carrying misleading signs.
Some attendees at Donald Trump’s speech about the autoworkers’ strike Wednesday apparently were shills carrying signs falsely identifying them as union members, the Detroit News reported.
One person held a sign that said “union members for Trump,” but admitted to the newspaper she was not a union member. Another carried a placard with the words “auto workers for Trump” and confessed he was not an auto worker when the outlet requested an interview. Neither identified themselves.
…
The affiliations of the guests receiving his message came into question. The business, Drake Enterprises in suburban Detroit, employs about 150 people who are not represented by the UAW, the newspaper noted. And there were an estimated 400 to 500 in attendance.
About 500 people were in attendance for around 2 hours. Trump reportedly pays $9 an hour for people to attend his rallies, that means he (or, more accurately, his campaign) could pay $9,000 to fill that room and make it look like UAW members support Trump. Very low price for a campaign to cover.
160You know those actors that go to Trump rally’s really underestimate the value they are providing to Trump. Perhaps if they organized and bargained collectively they could get higher wages and or benefits.

Pretty sure he went to one of the few non union plants to do this too...
If he'd have tried it in a union shop, they'd likely have shown up to yell shit at him.
49500 paid employees. Just 1 fraud though.
6They'd better demand to be paid in advance...

Looking at the link to the source article, they have a quote from donald duck: "You can be loyal to American labor or you can be loyal to the environmental lunatics," Trump said at one point. "But you can’t really be loyal to both. It’s one or the other."
The man is a miserable piece of shit constantly spreading misinformation and anti-innovative/anti-American rhetoric for the sole purpose of angering his uneducated, gullible supporters. The longer he stays out of prison, the more crimes he commits.
71He was invited by management to a non-union plant.
48who could have predicted that the con-man hosting an event at a non-union shop to show support for the union would have fake union members in attendance?
42Seems par for the course
24Union members for Trump... SLUGS FOR SALT!!! TUNA FOR SUSHI!!!
21Trump astroturfing? I’m shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
17SAG is still striking, would these actors be scabs?
17I’m shocked that only some of them were frauds.
16They're all frauds, some of them are just more fraud than others.

A fraudster using fraud to deceive people? How new!
16I’d celebrate “trump drowned in his own piss day” with my whole family. It’d probably be a real boost to economy too, everyone buying hot dogs and lighter fluid and stuff.
12Fake it until you make it... or in trump's case, just keep faking it.
9What, did they inflate the value of their real estate holdings too?
8Right out of the Russian playbook
8Lol, pathetic. How embarrassing.
