UAW praises Trump's tariffs "to end the free trade disaster"

[Scoutster]

Looks like the left is losing control of unions by the day. Then they act surprised that union workers vote against their candidate.

Democrats used to be the party of the working man until Clinton signed NAFTA. From that time on, Republicans have taken over that title. Now, with Trump's America first agenda and Democrats total disdain for workers, Republicans have become their last and only resort.

Democrats took the Union vote for granted. American jobs are not a priority for Democrats based on their actions. Voting blocks dependent on the Government is their priority.

Today a common lefty talking point is that we just CAN'T do anything to increase wages for the working class, and they all just need to get more training so they can get high tech jobs.

I work with a guy that has SEVEN certifications. We've been trying the training shit. It didn't work. We need policy to protect the interests of the working class.

We are constantly told how a wage increase for all workers across the board will increase inflation. That's s flat out lie. Let's build the cars here in america for double the wages the cars are built overseas. Pay up pay up.

As I've long noted, it's never been about "free trade".

What's going to happen Is that Trump support is going to grow exponentially in the face of all the noise the left is making and they may very well X themselves out of the next election.

The Republican plan should be to try to pass as many new bills as possible solidifying the EO's Trump is passing, and when Dems block them, point it out repeatedly, and tell the country "we need bigger majorities at the midterms to proceed with our agenda"

This UAW thing is huge.... And quite the bellweather for the working class attitude.
