Trump Blames Union for Job Loss


UT alum

Recommended Posts

Trump, the self proclaimed savior of the working man blames the working man when the Lordstown,OH GM plant announces closing. How pathetic is that? GM is closing it because it isn’t selling the Cruze, which it made there, like it once did. I think that’s called the free market in action. Trump can’t claim a success, so he blames it on “Democrat UAW Local 1112 President David Green” per a Sunday tweet. Defend Trump again by attacking the Democrats, please. You can’t defend him by his actions.

lol...I'm sure this had nothing to do with the union, who is actually the self-proclaimed savior of the working man.

How is any of this Trump's doing...where were you when Obama was dismantling the coal industry?

Why does he attack the blue collar workers he vowed to defend? GM didn’t do what he said, so he blames the people he told not to sell their houses because he was bringing jobs to them.

General motors has been on shaky ground for sometime now. Didn’t they have over 200 Vice Presidents?

Yes, a company brought to you essentially by the U.S. Government.  A company where many holders of the debt were left with nothing and the UAW was given a substantial number of shares in new company

Is Trump just infallible in your world? I bet if we just had to have a dictator, he’d be the man. I saw a MAGA Trumper say just that. Who needs democracy when you got the only man who can fix things, right? Sick.

Sick, huh...why don't you try to not go to such extremes.

What is it you're mad at Trump for here?  That he called out management and the union leaders for managing a plant to the point of shutdown?

Are you that wrapped up in his tweets?

Trump is far from infallible.  Plenty of issues.  But, then again, who doesnt have issues?  Speaking of dictators, who is the only President in U.S. History who decreed that every U.S. Citizen much purchase a particular product?  Hint, it wasn't Trump.  In spite of his very poor bedside manner, I am pleased with some of the results he has brought about.   Much of that comes from having a business background instead of being a lifetime run for office guy or a background of community organizing.

Lmbo, the whole Dem Party & MSM anxiously await every Tweet by Trump.  The Dem Party platform is "Hate Trump".  Lol, it's all they've got.  Funny stuff.

Man in NZ, from Australia, kills a bunch of people - Dems blame Trump

GM shuts down a plant because no one wants the cars they make - Dems blame Trump

Do y’all see a pattern?  Lmbo.  TDS.  

So the Dems know they can’t go with just Hate Trump, so in desperation they come up with, all out, full blown Socialism.  Nancy & Chuck (sounds like a comic strip) say, too many don’t like that, we need to hit’em with something else.  So the braintrust of the Dem Party, God Bless’em, come up with, The Green Deal.  Oops, everyone figured out that’s no good.  So their recent platforms is, Let’s put 15 people on SCOTUS, and lets let 16 year olds vote.  Honestly?  And these folks want to run the country?

I do not blame Trump for the plant closing. It is a free market decision on GM’s part. My problem is that instead of acknowledging the market driven decision, he blames the very workers “only he” can help restore to dignity. It is a sick use of the bully pulpit. By the way, I notice no mention of any problem with Trump being your dictator.

Trump a dictator?  Only one President in history, that I know of, has made it a Law that the American people had to buy something, and that was Obama - seig heil mein fuhrer.

Btw, I left out another Democratic ploy, they want to usurp The Constitution by eliminating the Electoral College.  Of course if they do that, you’ve eliminated the states.  That would require a name change to America in lieu of the US.  Los Angeles County has a bigger population that about 10 states.  Essentially, everyone would be governed by California and New York.  Now isn’t that a scary thought?  On the plus side, I’m 95% sure Texas would secede, and that’s a good thing.  Of course the first thing Texas would have to do is build a wall around the Republic, to keep all the Socialist out :)

Obama didn’t make it a law. Congress did. We’ve been having to contribute to a retirement plan since FDR was president. That legislation was passed by Congress as well. Congress refuses to fund Trump’s wall, even when his party controlled all three branches, he ignores it and declares a fake emergency, is admonished by Congress, and says screw you with a veto. Trumpland uber alles.
