Trump's Love/Hate With Unions

Guardian UK: US unions plan attack on Donald Trump in attempt to derail presidential bid - Concerned labor group leaders are organizing ad campaigns and phone banks as Trump’s populist message on trade and jobs draws in union voters
“We can’t be fooled,” Richard Trumka, president of AFL-CIO, America’s largest federation of labor unions, implored his 12.5 million members at the organization’s annual convention in Philadelphia this month. “Trump isn’t interested in solving the problems he yells and swears about. He delivers punch lines, but there’s nothing funny about them.”

Trump hates Unions, his father spent big time backing anti-Union efforts in NYC. What does Donald know about work? Nothing, he's never had to do any. Oh, like many in his class he thinks work is spending your day bossing others around and talking on your ph. and flying about in a private jet. Working people that vote for this assklown are in dreamville if they think he'll do squat to help them get a better life. Trump is about TRUMP period.

Sure unfortunately some union members are attracted to his trade agreement stump dump as the reason why America is no longer great again. There's plenty of GOPers in unions, they're just as happy as any GOPer is to vote against their own interests.
