Despite the old communist associations with “Workers Party”, Donald clearly gives it new meaning, i.e.....The party of those who honestly work for a living vs. those who could work but expect the govt. to care for them via welfare programs, food stamps, disability, etc.
The press is trying to peel off "small government" voters who favor Trump with this "workers party = communist" association. I think it came up in one of the talk shows this morning, and the answer given was that Trump's refefrence is to "American workers," which leads the same way you say. Jobs for Americans, not jobs for trading treaty partners.
Both US parties have abandoned the American worker. It is time that someone put our workers and our people first. Trump is doing it and you see the results. It is a winning strategy.
