President Donald Trump started his Labor Day with an attack on a top union leader, lashing out after criticism from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
Trump tweeted Monday that Trumka represented his union poorly on television this weekend. He added: it is easy to see why unions are doing so poorly. A Dem! [
]
Asked about the low unemployment rate and economic growth, Trumka said those are good, but wages have been down since the first of the year. Gas prices have been up since the first of the year. So, overall, workers arent doing as well.
On Monday, Trump touted the economy, saying Our country is doing better than ever before with unemployment setting record lows. He added, The Worker in America is doing better than ever before. Celebrate Labor Day!

Do not confuse the Trump Train with the Trunka Train. They will take you to very different destinations!

Nothing I see is wrong. Trump, as usual, is telling the truth.

Trumka “critices”.
Trump “lashes out”.
Idiot writers. They think their bias doesn’t show.

Partner, Trumka is a freaking joke!!!
Trumka is paid thru Union dues that are hard earned dollars by the workers of this union.
Trumka is a Union thug who does not even care about the workers in companies that contribute to this union.
I am sure glad that we live in a state where a worker if he wishes does not have to get his union dues deducted from their paycheck.
It is thugs like Trumka who have made it very unpleasant to join a union. Trumka stinks to high heaven!!!

Yeah. That was one of the most incredible things I ever saw in politics.
The SOB was supposed to represent thousands of mime workers and meekly stood by as AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY was attacked by no less then the “President” of the United States.
And the Rat party runs around claiming they stand for the Little Guy, the Workers of America.
Absurd, insane and beyond belief.
