TRUMP UNION DREAM DIES AS STEELWORKERS TO ENDORSE BIDEN

TRUMP UNION DREAM DIES AS STEELWORKERS TO ENDORSE BIDEN

"SNIP.........

Trump has been courting the United Steelworkers for an endorsement, but union president Bruce McCall said that the union will endorse President Biden.

McCall said on Fox News:

We’re clearly leaning towards President Biden and we’ll be endorsing him. I’m sure it would be up to our executive board to do that in the very near future.

But President Biden is really developed for at least in my lifetime an industrial policy in this country with the infrastructure bill, the IRA and the CHIPS and Science Act. If you do that along with making sure that we’re on a level playing field with the rest of the world, that’s, that’s about real progress in America for industrial workers.

There should be very little thinking that goes into making the decision of who to endorse. it is a matter of life and death for unions. Biden & Democrats = LIFE, trump/republicans = DEATH of the Unions.

trump may have been courting unions, but who can believe the MF?

hard working Trumplicans think TFG feels their pain. Look at his fingernails. Any grease under there? Mother f**ker never worked a day in his life.

Seems like a pretty easy fact to find out if someone is quoting him.

No he has not.

McCall added that Trump has not reached out to him, and that the former president’s campaign didn’t even respond to its issues survey.
