Follow the money.

The trail’s there to be discovered.

JMHo
Trump want’s Detroit to knock down car prices around $3000. He means the portion that the union takes, right?
It’s called “union busting” and it sure looks like they’re busted this time.
JFK empowered the corrupt unelected class when he created public unions.
When will they go after those (themselves)? Rhetorical.
Amazing what the FBI can accomplish when they aren’t trying to frame Trump...
When will they go after those (themselves)? Rhetorical.
President Trump could get rid of federal labor unions with the stroke of a pen. I hope he does it during his second term.
I wish they would raid Hillary’s home and office....
Union guys(and gals) in Deetroit here are all in for trump, hate both Establishment swamps. their union bosses are a different story. they are 3rd world leve banana republic party hack.
How they could go from loving Obama to loving Trump in just a few years is not exactly clear to me, and now there’s this. Drain the swamp(s).
Chump change compared to the scale and quality of bribes that politicians enjoy. You'll never see those arrests tho'.
