If only he was president in the past we could have some kind of record to judge him on... Oh yeah, he was.

Tldr: Filled the national labor relations board with appointees who worked to roll back workers rights and hamper unonization.
Can't imagine why unions aren't a fan of his /s
Honestly can't even imagine why he ever thought those people might endorse him...
Dude must be senile af.
Remember the Carrier plant he "saved"?
Please, please, please let him start attacking blue-collar workers and unions.
It's crazy to me how many of my union brothers are right wing and willingly vote for politicians that are openly anti union.
I see the union guys in their maga hats in my store regularly.
I wonder if either they stumbled into their unions through family or if Trump is such a cultural phenomenon in rural America that they wear the hats to fit in around the homies and just don’t give much thought to politics. “I’ve been in this union through 4 Republican presidents and I still got my union. So what? Trump is cooo, he says what’s on his miiiiind. I like ‘at!”
Biden blocking the rail strike didn't help solve any of that sooooo...
Sadly I don’t think that will change any of their minds. Remember his comments on his “preference” of military folks not to be captured? Still has tons of support from the military population.
I read that Biden is more popular among active-duty soldiers but Trump is more popular among veterans. Which doesn’t make sense to me. Trump is a draft dodger and they think he’s the most badass President ever. All he did was golf and tweet. What the fuck
He cheats like a motherfucker at golf too. A decent book called President In Cheat details what an absolute loser he is on the green. His tweets are riddled with typos and nonsense. (My typos are okay because I don't have a PR team and I'm not a "stable genius")
The man is a failure at everything he does except getting away with lying and cheating- and it's not because he's a criminal mastermind. Yet so many people worship him. It boggles the mind.
The possibility that Trump could win is hampering recruiting, to the point that the services are now dropping graduation/GED requirements.
Remember when Tucker Carlson's text messages were released and he called his fans 'especially dumb....cousin fuckers'? Remember when they still revered him anyway?
Trump could probably be at a rally in the deep south in a factory and call them all a bunch of good-for-nothing lazy losers and they'd still vote for him. They'd probably say "He speaks his mind and doesn't care what anyone including us thinks. He's so badass!" or like I've actually heard more than a few times "He says dumb things that I don't agree with but I agree with his politics" which is ridiculous but it doesn't matter.
I don't remember anything Tucker ever said. His face perpetually told me "I am lying with anything I say" and I just ignored anything that ever spewed after.
It’ll just make his coward base vote harder. They hate whatever he hates, even if it’s themselves.
In a scathing speech last week, Fain blasted Trump as a "scab" who if ever "worked in an auto plant, he wouldn't be a UAW member, he'd be a company man trying to squeeze the American worker."
Yep, he's a real champion of the little guy:
Why pay people the wages they've earned, when you could not? /s
ETA: that's a royal "you," not directed at OP
selling the Automobile Industry right into the big, powerful, hands of China
This is the speech of a man who is very insecure about his hands. No normal person uses this vocabulary in this circumstance without some strong personal opinions on hands.
Look, his hands are massive for his developmental age, okay. Stop making fun of him for his hands. he's a toddler. those are some huge hands for a toddler.
"They look like strong hands"
:(
