when you’re allied with the teamsters, you aren’t allied - you are deceived.
Federal union employees?
Don’t worry, I’ve got several hundred followers on twitter. We’ll get the question out there.
When you have an America First Campaign to bring jobs and industry back to the US, this probably was not much unexpected.
no no no...you need to get your mind right. That's not conservatism anymore.
Well shut the front door!
It’s slow Joe or no mo’ ... Democrat votes that is
The only unions that I consider a problem within my political ideology, are the government civil servant unions (from FOP to teacher unions) that own our politicians and can strike and are never fired. They end up being protected by political hacks, while the public is stuck paying the price.
Private sector unions I have no problem with because they balance out the power and greed of global corporate and banker oligarchs with average citizens.Corporate CEOs get billions in labor contracts when they should get nothing guaranteed except what they produce.
Trump seems to represent outside the box interests versus the Wall St banker/media/corporate elites that have worked to destroy our country while making their own lot rich. These elites mostly pretend to be conservative, when they are corporate hacks.
Not good, at least in one sense.
Federally-protected unions are one of the greatest causes of economic sluggishness. Their thuggery and bullying hinder innovation, cost-cutting, and top quality. Unions are one of the main reasons other countries out-compete American companies.
Trump needs to be on the side of what Walker was proposing: doing away with federal unions and federally protected unions. We’d all be much better off.
Now, If Trump made that proposal and the Teamsters supported him, now THAT WOULD be a miracle.
Teamsters are federal union employees?
LoL.

Unions are unions and yes, teamsters get plenty of federal contracts.
Could be a power play. The Union wants Joe Biden on the dem ticket not Humary.
“....doing away with federal unions and federally protected unions. We’d all be much better off. Now, If Trump made that proposal and the Teamsters supported him, now THAT WOULD be a miracle.”
I can see him doing just that!
With the numerous projects he’s been involved in over the years, Trump must have had to deal with unions along the way. Does anyone here have any insight as to what type of relationship he’s had with them in the past?
I say there's room for everyone to prosper, unions included, if AMERICA can truly return to REAL PROSPERITY and not this PHONY Obama economy crap.
I predict that Trump will get the union's support.
See! This just PROVES that Donald Trump is a COMMUNIST!!!!!
/sarc
Was just told that they backed HWBush. Is that true?
Here is both Bushes. One got it one didn’t.
