In a video message, Trump called the treatment of auto workers "an absolute disgrace and an outrage beyond belief" and accused President Biden of allowing the industry to focus on electric vehicles that few people want.
Trump also criticized Biden's plan to require that 67 percent of all new vehicles be electric within ten years, claiming that this would lead to the outsourcing of car manufacturing to China.
According to Trump, the President of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has described Biden as "brutal" in his conversations with auto company CEOs. Trump referred to Biden as "Crooked Joe" and labeled him as the most corrupt and incompetent President in history. He argued that Biden's plan would destroy over 100,000 auto manufacturing jobs, waste billions of dollars, and make new cars unaffordable for the middle class.
