  An hour of speeches to the automotive workers gathered in a warehouse in Detroit. This is how Donald Trump supports the protest. "I am here to defend the working class, fight the corrupt political class and - he underlines - protect work made in the USA, the American dream on foreign profit". He accuses Biden, defined as "the most corrupt and incompetent president in US history", of having gone to a union picket yesterday just for "a photo opportunity", "speaking for a few seconds without knowing what he was saying and where he was" . And attacking him because he pushes electric vehicles, which will eliminate "thousands of jobs" and favor China, from which his family "received money". Regardless of his legal troubles - "every time they indict me I go up in the polls because people know me", says Trump - he relaunches his 'America First', contrasting it with what he defines as Biden's "America last".

"Voting for Joe Biden will make the car industry "made in China", he warned. Then, speaking in the third person, he said that instead "President Trump believes that the future of the car will be made by "American energy, supported by American suppliers and built by the skilled hands of Americans and with high wages". Finally, the dire prediction for the workers: "It doesn't make the slightest difference what you get in the negotiations because in two years you will all be out of work", arguing that the transition to electric vehicles pushed by Biden will make them obsolete and destroy thousands of jobs. Biden instead openly sided with the striking workers, stating that they "deserve a significant raise", their "fair share" of "record profits". The former American president also chose to skip the second debate between the Republican aspirants to the White House which... in fact did not offer great ideas and in the first hour it was almost boring, with the exception of the attacks on Donald Trump himself, by his former allies. The first to point the finger at Trump, once again absent from the stage, is Ron DeSantis, for years considered the dolphin. "He should be here with us, instead he is missing in action", said the governor of Florida, accusing him of having added 7800 billion to the debt and thus having prepared the ground for today's inflation (an assist immediately collected on by Joe Biden).

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie stepped it up, before Mike Pence and Nikki Haley. "Donald, I know you're watching, you can't resist. You're afraid of being on this stage to defend your results", he said, inventing the nickname "Donald Duck" for him, i.e. the not very courageous Donald Duck. The attacks so far have not triggered Trump, who snubbed the second debate at the Reagan Library to launch into a rally in Michigan among striking auto industry workers. The response from the tycoon was not long in coming and, through one of his advisors, Alayna Treene, branded the TV duel between Republican presidential candidates as "a joke", referring to the survivor designated among the members of the government to become president in the event of the death of the head of state and other positions intended to replace him in an emergency situation.
