OK, I forgot what it was, but he did come out in support of some of Trump’s programs.

He was a scumbag who could care less about anything but power.

Before the AFL-CIO he was the head of the United Mine Workers... yet in 2016 he endorsed Hillary who said she was going to put a lot of them out of work.

How could he do that in good conscience?

When Donald Trump first became president, he set up the Presidential Council on Manufacturing. The goal was to bring jobs back to America. Richard Trumka joined that council. This shows that Trumka had at least some common sense, and was willing to work with Trump.

Unfortunately, the whole thing fell apart after the Charlottesville incident. Then Trumka reverted back to being a Democrat hack.

All labor unions are communist, but some hide it better than others.

Communists in the Labor Unions, 1922.

He was committed to the union and to the democrats, and the country could go to hell as far as he and many other union bosses are concerned. Country first was not on his agenda at all.

That being said, I would never wish anybody any ill will.

Time for me to add 10 or 15 years to my retirement planning. Might put a crimp in that round the world tour we planned.
