Why is Trump getting involved is UAW talks?

And trying to get GM to reopen Lordstown. I know it’s strictly a political move since he’d told auto workers he’d save the plant but it’s not something a president should be involved in. And why is he threatening war against a sovereign nation due to a terrorist attack? It’s not like Iraq invading Kuwait. Do we really need further terrorist groups aligned against us?

And if GM backs down, he can claim victory.

6. Feeling confident enough to strike

probably means that one doesn't feel like a loser. Me, if I had one of the few auto jobs left in this country, I'd take whatever deal I could get. Maybe that's why I wasn't in union leadership during my customer service stint.
