In an unusual move, Donald Trump has announced plans to speak in Detroit this Wednesday, evidently seeking some political benefit from the auto workers’ strike, saying he's always had workers' backs.
The former president is unarguably seeking to woo Michigan workers. But Michigan’s workers — indeed, all workers — should remember that in his four years as president, Trump and his administration did far more to stab workers in the back than to have their backs.
