“Mercedes-Benz will start building in the United States, and they have a little bit. But do you know what they really are? Assembly, like in South Carolina. But they build everything in Germany and then they assemble it here,” Trump said.

“They get away with murder because they say, ‘Oh yes, we’re building cars.’ They don’t build cars. They take ‘em out of a box and they assemble ‘em. You could have our child do it,” Trump added.

Trump just openly trashed American auto workers.

I guarantee if Harris had said this Fox News would run footage of her saying this until November 5.

The double standards are truly amazing to me.
Fortunately FOX has video after video of Harris promising trillions to every group out there. No need for her to say what Trump said. Although early in her campaign she was claiming a number of Trump ideas as hers.

Has she openly mocked the work ethic and skills of American auto workers?

Neither has Trump. Trump was talking about actually manufacturing cars, not having them manufactured overseas then having the parts assembled here to get around chicken tax rules.
Yep, I found the clip. It was at the Bloomberg interview. context is important. I was unaware that Mercedes-Benz or BMW were United Auto Workers?

Mercedes-Benz is a German company.

Germany is not in America.

Now you're fully informed. You're welcome.
He was talking about American auto workers at Benz plants in the United States. One is in Alabama. Now you’re informed.

While being interviewed by Bloomberg News editor in chief John Micklethwait, Trump spoke about how auto factories in the United States aren’t really building cars.

“Mercedes-Benz will start building in the United States, and they have a little bit. But do you know what they really are? Assembly, like in South Carolina. But they build everything in Germany and then they assemble it here,” Trump said.

“They get away with murder because they say, ‘Oh yes, we’re building cars.’ They don’t build cars. They take ’em out of a box, and they assemble ’em. We could have our child do it,” Trump added.
