Trump for decreasing union members pay and benefits! And making the wealthy, wealthier!. Trump’s call to the unions to support him "Let me dupe your members for four more years"🤣🤡

Trump the self-proclaimed billionaire prefers you send him your hard earned money so you can continue to pay his lawyers.

@geo745don Facts: Biden created close to 800,000 manufacturing jobs in 3 years. 589k manufacturing jobs were recovered and 175k created. That's just the manufacturing jobs. More than 14 million total jobs since he took office.

@user-uq2sq5wg9b It's Trump who constantly compliments dictators like Putin, Jong-un and Orban. He likes that they strongly rule their people. Putin prefers his citizens fall out windows. Jong-un prefers execution by massive military force in front of his victims families.

@GilmerJohn 1. According to analysis of lawsuits filed against Trump and his companies, when union contractors were hired, Trump developed a reputation for stiffing some, delaying payment to others and shorting workers on overtime and even minimum wage. 2. USA Today found 60 lawsuits against Trump for not paying his bills on time, including by a dishwasher in Florida, a New Jersey glass company, a carpet supplier, plumber, painters, 48 waiters, dozens of bartenders and a real estate broker. 3. Trump has been cited for 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. 4. Trump-associated properties and companies have filed for bankruptcy often: Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza and Trump Marina (1993), Trump World's Fair and Casino (1999), Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts (2004) and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009). In each of the bankruptcies, unpaid contractors were sent to the back of the line for repayment and often received only pennies on the dollar for what they were owed. 5. Lawyers who represented Trump in lawsuits for non-payment sued Trump for not paying them. 6. Since 1980, more than 200 mechanic's liens have been filed against Trump properties for nonpayment. 7. According to former Trump Plaza President Jack O’Connell, Trump would negotiate the best price he could, but when it came time to pay the bills, Trump would say: "I'm going to pay you, but I'm going to pay you 75% of what we agreed to." It was known as the "Trump discount," according to The Wall Street Journal. 8. Trump continues to stonewall unionized casino and culinary employees looking for their first contract at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. 9. Most of Trump's recent projects have been in anti-union and "right to work" states. Where the law is different, his choices are different: "For every union-built development outside of New York and Atlantic City, Trump built nearly two nonunion, and if there is no PLA, Trump has hired union workers once for every four projects that go nonunion." 10. Trump Tower, where he announced his presidential campaign, was built on a site cleared by undocumented immigrant laborers from Poland. A lawsuit was filed against Trump that dragged on for nearly two decades—he didn't reach a settlement with the working people who did the job until 19 years later. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York wrote: "No records were kept, no Social Security or other taxes were withheld, and they were not paid in accordance with wage laws. They were told they would be paid $4.00 or in some cases $5.00 an hour for working 12-hour shifts seven days a week. In fact, they were paid irregularly and incompletely, sometimes with [the subcontractor’s] personal checks, which were returned by the bank for insufficient funds." Employees complained to the press of working in "choking clouds of asbestos dust without protective equipment." The District Court concluded that Trump "knew the Polish workers were working 'off the books,' that they were doing demolition work, that they were nonunion, that they were paid substandard wages with no overtime pay and that they were paid irregularly if at all."

@GilmerJohn Trump always preferred non-union, cheap labor when he could use it on his projects. When he needed quality work done on his personal properties, he often used union workers.

@GilmerJohn Trump stiffed hundreds in the construction field. Every time he messed with an owner, he messed with all the employees of that owner and their families.

@GilmerJohn You seemed to have missed the point. The fact that Trump screwed many in the construction field is a side note. The main point is Trump is far from pro-union.

@GilmerJohn Everyone knows Biden bet on the American worker while Donald Trump blamed the American workers.

@GilmerJohn You've really veered off the road huh. First you comment that Trump is pro-union. When the truth proves you wrong, you switch to bashing unions. You've moved the goalposts faster than Trump & his sycophants! Since you've changed the subject to the subject of the pro American worker arena, let's go there. In his first week in office, President Biden signed Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in America by All of America's Workers, launching a whole-of-government initiative to strengthen the use of federal procurement to support American manufacturing. One huge example of this is Biden's CHIPS Act passed in 2022. In this act alone, the government has earmarked $52.7 billion for research, development and manufacturing for companies that build factories in America

@GilmerJohn Biden's 166 billion dollar CHIPS act is just a part of his "Made in America" agenda. In his first week in office, Biden signed Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in America by All of America's Workers, launching a whole-of-government initiative to strengthen the use of federal procurement to support American manufacturing.

@GilmerJohn Biden is way more pro- American manufacturing, American jobs than Trump Sorry, your new argument doesn't hold water any more than your claim that Trump is pro-union 🤣🤡
