What Trump has done for the working-class is superficial. He's against the minimum wage or raising it to a living wage. He's against rent controls. He's against forgiving the student debt of tens of millions of our youth who are entering the workforce and need all of the help they can get
(The wealthiest people in our society often get bailed out by Uncle Sam, why can't the US Gov, forgive the student-debt of our sons and daughters?). Trump is against labor unions and workers asserting their rights
(negotiating with wealthy, powerful employers with the leverage labor unions provide). He's against penalizing companies that close their factories here in the US and move them to Mexico and China. He's against prohibiting the wealthy from moving their money abroad and hiding it in a "tax haven". And of course, he's against raising taxes for those who earn over 10M yearly, while refusing to lower taxes for working-class people. He's against a lot of policies that would serve the interests of the American public.
On top of that, he continues to support economic sanctions on Latin American countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. etc, then complains when hundreds of thousands of brown-skin Latinos from those same countries migrate illegally to our country. Well, if we want to stop at least 70% of the illegal immigration from Latin America, we need to stop imposing economic embargoes and orchestrating coups in those countries, supporting government regimes that serve the interests of a few American and European companies, at the expense of the working-class in those countries. The last thing America's wealthy elites want is to lose their cheap Latin American labor.
How can you hire cheap Latin American labor, if their countries are better developed and doing well economically? If those Latin American countries have a middle-class, that demands higher pay with benefits, that's the end of that cash cow and gravy-train. If they have more democracy, they wouldn't want American companies controlling their vital national infrastructure and drilling their oil (controlling their natural resources). They would want more and better government-enforced regulations in their private sector, like for example requiring factories to install airconditioning. Require factories to install up-to-date and effective filters on their CNC machines:
We have regulations here in the US that force companies to spend money on good filters for these machines, but in Latin America, the owner of the factory can get "cheapy filters" that don't adequately filter the toxic fumes or even worse, no filters at all. The wealthy powerful elites in America and Europe, turn to these poor, developing countries
(perpetually developing, because it's not in the interests of these elites to allow these countries to join the modern, industrialized, free & democratic world with a middle-class and robust, social safety net/social security/unemployment insurance..etc for its workers..etc). Keep them poor and desperate for a job, forced to negotiate their terms of employment alone, without the leverage of a labor union. Maintain control over the labor markets and governments of developing countries (The 3rd World/Global South).
Trump is clueless
(or simply doesn't give a shit) about the dynamics of capitalist imperialism, so he doesn't support policies that will significantly cut the number of Latin Americans trying to enter our country illegally. You just let them develop their economies and choose the type of government they want for themselves. Maybe even help them out, give them a "hand-up"
(as opposed to a hand-down), to allow them to develop their economies and become a prosperous nation that can trade with us and flourish. That's the way to end most of the illegal immigration from these Latin American countries.
Trump deployed our military in Syria, where to this day, our troops our controlling most of the oil in that country. We have American troops in Iraq, right now. About 2500 troops. We have 700 military installations and bases around the world. We're an empire, and Trump hasn't done anything to change that. We're still the world's hegemon, bullying other countries to serve our interests, often at their expense.
Zionism. Trump is completely, unconditionally supporting whatever Israel does to anyone. Our government is under Zionist occupation (Make Israel Great Again), to the point that we're now supporting a racist, Jewish apartheid state that is leveling a whole city full of civilians, with American weapons. Then we wonder why certain people around the world hate us and sometimes end up here in our country, committing acts of terrorism. Zionists control all of the major centers of power and influence in our country. They're going to destroy our country and Trump is in bed with them.
