The United Auto Workers’ decision to endorseĀ Kamala Harris’ presidential run has apparently gotten under the skin of Donald Trump, who has responded by insulting the union’s leader as ā€œa stupid personā€.

…

Trump’s remarks allude to the harsh 100% tariff he hasĀ proposedĀ on imported cars. Economists haveĀ warnedĀ that such a tariff would raise product costs for Americans, but Trump has insisted on it, saying it reflects how he would prioritize the auto industry if returned to White House in November’s election.

…

Fain and the UAW – one of the US’s largest and most diverse labor unions – nonetheless gave their coveted endorsement to the vice-president,Ā sayingĀ in a statement that Harris had a ā€œproven track record of delivering for the working classā€.

    They have fragile egos and no imagination. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

      It’s just funny that Biden tried everything from ā€˜convicted felon’ to ā€˜crazy guy’ and his surrogates added things like ā€˜rapist’ and ā€˜dictator’ and such and none of it got under their skin.

      But ā€˜weird?’ That’s a bridge too far!
