Trump is putting workers first.
If Trump was putting Americans workers first, why does he hire H2B workers for his golf courses and Mar a Largo. So please stop saying he puts our workers first when we know he doesn't

They won't be. Steel has no alternatives. If you need steel, you will buy steel, no matter the price.

Union members have been voting Republican for years. They’re weasels: all they’re interested in is getting paid for working as little as possible.

I don’t understand why the Democrats “lookout” for them.

Without the unions telling their membership how to vote who will vote for the democratic candidates? Sounds like a dilemma...

I worked 5 years in a union shop & there was a minimum standard to be met & maintained, if you didn't qualify you didn't get the job.BTW the work was not easy.

Well, we realize you would have preferred some video from CNN or MSNBC, and some quotes from a few Leftist screeds, also anonymously sourced (standard operating procedure for Leftist media).

The Democrats have never been for the "working" man and woman. They are for VOTES ...Democrat votes. That's all they care about, and they will say and do anything for them.

Look how they have played the black community for decades. What have they ever done for them? Nothing!

So short sighted. If the price of a washing machine goes up 25%, who do you think is going to pay for it? The consumer.

Higher prices equals less consumer demand. Less consumer demand equals less production.
