"I love them. He got elected by NOT toning down his tweets. His tweets make the news. He is controlling the dialogue. He is leading the discussions. In this case some bozo that runs the Union that sold their members down the river comes out to try to put Trump down and before the ink was dry on that story, Trump put the punk in his place. Now the story is about the Union leaders leading their members into the unemployment lines and Trump coming to save their jobs. Don't be too concerned about Trump's "tweets". He won. The MSM hates his tweets. That means they are accomplishing something important. "

I hear ya.

Traditionally it would be bad judgement to even acknowledge the insult, being below the president's status.

But this is Trump and he's making it work. No doubt about it.

I wonder... what is the threshold of attacker credibility to which he'll respond. He can't respond to every attack.

This is a blast - we're in new territory with the demise of broadcast media. Best election ever!

My kind of president. Don’t put up with shite from any bully.

Nixon created the EPA and screwed Taiwan.

If the attack leads on the nightly news or above the fold on the MSM newspapers, you can count on him responding. This particular tweet was in response to a direct attack on his character that was being spread by the fake news networks.

You have just created a brand new tagline my friend. I’ll be using that line when conversing about all the winning that’s going on. MAGA!

[ConservativeMind]

I’m totally for it. This is Trump’s equivalent to a stress ball. He can squeeze these off hundreds of times a day and it just strengthens his grip.

Excellent! Didn't know that - I gave up network television many years ago.

I hope I don't have to watch that cr@p to make relevant comments! ;-)

Now THAT'S more like it.

If it wasn't for Unions it wouldn't be necessary for Presidents to cut sweetheart deals with companies like Carrier.

Teachable moment.

Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!

Truth is.. Trump is right!

Jones has done little in representing the workers in the union.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes in a sane world, they should! (be shouting praises of President Trump).

But union bosses don’t really care about the workers - only about their power and perks and towing the Demonazi thug line.

Anytime a Union thug boss is upset - it’s a good day for America!

I’m sure union leaders are only the beginning. Wait until the Trump Administration begins taking on the federal bureaucracy!

Let’s just say if you’ve organized a “reflection and renewal retreat” for you and your “team members” in some tropical locale recently, you might want to begin polishing up the ol’ resume.

The union stooges don’t even count non union jobs as jobs. Hilarious.
********************************
AND, the Dems and Union heads use the term “working families” to only mean those who are members of labor unions, as if non-union workers are not. Code words...

[octex]

...Trump is going to drive a wedge between the leadership and the union members. ...
********************************
I agree with your thoughts. Trump, as a long-time businessman, knows exactly how unions escalate the costs for any project. He wants to reduce spending for projects.

Wish he could eliminate the union of the government workers and the get rid of the deadwood.

[Awgie]

I love that Trump is trying new tactics. Micro managing the news with Twitter is novel, but a new approach is needed. I compare it with using drones in battle. Rather than ignore snipers, send an inexpensive highly accurate product of modern tecnology to do the job...Zap! Bad guy dead.

[Old_Grouch]

I haven’t researched the headcount figures in the Carrier deal, but maybe some of the jobs saved were non-union jobs, and the union head doesn’t count them. After all, plants do have non-union staff also.

This took no more than a few hours. He can handle it!! Evidently you still have doubts in Donald Trump. How can that be?
