President-elect Donald J. Trump further solidified his position as a defender of the working class this week. Mr. Trump met with leaders of the Longshoreman’s Association, and it was an experience that the top officials of this labor union couldn’t have imagined. Its vice president, Dennis Daggett, posted on Facebook that the meeting was nothing short of historic in his mind.

Statement from Int'l Longshoremen's Association EVP Dennis Daggett on his meeting with President Trump: "In over 25 years of working in Washington, I have never seen a Republican take up the mantle for working-class people. President-elect Trump proved me wrong yesterday."

Dennis Daggett, the executive vice president of the International Longshoreman’s Association — the union that shut down ports with a strike earlier this year — said his recent meeting with Trump was “an experience I never imagined in my wildest dreams.”

[…]

Following that meeting, Trump took on one of their top grievances — automation.

“I’ve studied automation, and know just about everything there is to know about it,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the meeting.

“The amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers, in this case, our Longshoremen. Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets.”

Everyone that has actually paid attention knew that this is who President Trump45/47 is.
The loons know too.
They just hate it and constantly attempt (and fail) to discredit it.
 
So, um, he's stupid? Trump's appointees to the NRLB have consistently ruled against Union interests.
His second round is going to be much worse. Hoping the Cannibals eat you last is never a good strategy.
Still refuse to give Trump credit for anything?
That's why unions are turning Republican.
Democrats keep using their old playbook.

So, Trump will eliminate automation?

Unions are continuing to decline because their rank and file put their racism above their economic interests.

And frankly, they kind of deserve it.

US ports are almost all foreign owned.
I tend to agree with Trump that automation of ports only hurts American labor and makes foreign owners wealthier.

If you are so useless that your job can be done by a machine, that's on you, isn't it?

Biden has shown we don't really need a president to run the country.

Let's start there.
 
Trump don't give a shit about the working people, but many working people believe otherwise. If traditional working class Democrats are leaving for Trump then the Democrats need to look in the mirror to find out why.

Aug 13, 2024 · In an interview that was light on policy detail, Trump also appeared to praise Musk for firing workers. "You're the greatest cutter. I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you just
say: 'You want to quit?' They go on strike - I won't mention the name of the company - but they go on strike. And you say: 'That's okay, you're all gone.'
