Naw. I don’t think he’ll have much resistance to anything he tries to accomplish.
I think one after another everyone will fold.
Trump doesn’t have to give a long winded oratory like “professional politicians” love to do...
he will just say “No...”
I think one after another everyone will fold.
Remember all the huffing and puffing in the MSM during the run-up to showdown day between President Reagan and PATCO, the air-traffic controller's union, which threatened a nationwide strike if they weren't granted a benefit package that would have cost Uncle Sam a cool $770 million (in 1981 money)?
The MSM did the usual full-court press. Total, wall-to-wall, full sympathy for the poor little union. There would be mass chaos, the air transport system of the United States would have to completely shut down until a new set of ATC personnel could be trained, which would take two years. The resulting transportation snafus would bring the US economy to its knees, making Jimmy Carter's recession look like a field of daisies on a summer's day.
Reagan would have to give in. PATCO had him over a barrel, held all the aces, was outmaneuvering him at every turn.
When showdown day came, they all got fired. The whole kit and caboodle. Rehiring began immediately, with management running the system during the transition period.
The effect on the domestic air travel system was negligible and short-lived.
Can you even remember the name of the bearded guy who was the president of PATCO? When the strike failed, he was swept aside by the MSM quicker than you can say "now hiring."
