Donald Trump now has a track record that we can research. Trump is widely regarded as the champion of the working class. Trump's appointments to the National Labor Relations board and his appointments to the Department of Labor are about as anti labor as it gets.


Andrew Pudzer - Trump's first choice for Labor secretary was the CEO of Carl Karcher Industries. His policies were anything but pro labor. Further details on Andrew Pudzer can be found on:
He withdrew his name from consideration after it appeared that he didn't have the votes to get appointed.
Other names and terms terms to research are Alex Acosta, Peter Robb, The Obama Overtime Law, and the "Fluctuating Work Week Method" of computing overtime.

The Greatest damage and threat to the "working class" is the importation of millions upon millions of workers to compete with them, which given supply/demand, will lower wages, increase costs and compete for housing with that working class. Trump has been the champion of controlling the borders and preventing the flood of cheap workers. Perhaps he did not succeed as much as we would have liked but he kept fighting for it. Biden on the other hand said "come on down" welcome to America NEWCOMERS. There is no choice if you are working class if you want to stand on your own feet and not fall from the working class to just another part of the Welfare Class. Giving the Government even greater power to do what they will since the Welfare Classes is more easily manipulated by threats to their Government handouts.

Donald Trump was our first ADHD president. Hadrian's wall took six years with slave labor and no diesel equipment. Trump's wall was never completed with modern equipment.


The purpose of my post was to show that Trump is not interested in the working class. Research those people above rather than giving me the Fox News answer.

It's really easy to see even without biased news sources telling you what they want.

Trump is Pro America which includes everyone of us from the citizens to Legal Immigrants to the workers and the rich. Trump is even for the misguided youth that are fighting the Police and tearing up campuses.


Biden is Against America which means he and his ilk are working against us all.


It is that simple.

When our nation was growing, people with vision brought in the Irish and Chinese to build our railroads and other infrastructure. When the Irish formed unions the "Robber Barrons" brought in millions of Italians and others to defeat the union organizers. People who resisted were labeled Reds and executed as anarchists. Trump talks but the all of the people doing manual labor are now Mexicans. Knowing history is your key to parsing BS from the truth.



My point is that Trump is wealthy, and the wealthy will never give the working man an even break.

Nothing is that simple, except letting others do your thinking for you.

I think that a person who runs successful fast-food chains would have a pretty good understanding of the labor market. Far better than our current Sec. of Labor, whose career consists of suing employers, advocating for illegal immigration, and never having employed a single person.

While every president has his lows, you can also look at Trump's record of accomplishments. Here is just a brief listing of some of them, with many more that could be listed:

The First Step Act, reforms that make our justice system fairer.

Creation of Space Force.

U.S. oil production reached an all-time high.

The U.S. became the world’s largest producer of crude oil.

The U.S. is now a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957.

Allowed drug imports from Canada.

Created the White House VA hotline to help veterans.

Federal employees/military pay increased by 3.1 percent.

Small businesses are allowed to group when buying insurance.

Increased funding for historically Black colleges and universities.

The poverty rate fell to a low of 11.8 percent.

Poverty rates for African Americans are at an all-time low.

Arrested 1,588 criminals associated with human trafficking.

The first Arab country pact with Israel in 25 years (United Arab Emirates).

NATO allies increased their defense spending.

Moved U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

New trade deal with Mexico and Canada.

U.S. stock market hit all-time record highs.

Over a dozen U.S. hostages freed.

Made historic official visits to China and North Korea.

Opportunity Zones are designated in 8,764 communities across the country.

Right-To-Try allows terminally ill patients to try experimental treatments.

There was $6 billion in new funding to fight the opioid epidemic.

Here is a listing to 14 more pages of accomplishments. So as the OP said, don't look at what Trump says, look at all of the great things he did as president.

Your interpretation of history leaves a lot to be desired. First, you don't seem to grasp the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Second, you don't seem to understand the difference between people coming here to work and people coming here for social welfare. Third, Trump has employed many working men, or don't you consider construction workers "working men"?


A CNNMoney analysis calculates at least 34,000 jobs attributable to the Donald.

Why not do yourself a favor and ask any random person you encounter, say at the grocery store or gas station, if they are better off today as opposed to 4 or 5 years ago..you might learn something.
