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.
