  • Re: President Donald Trump

    A follow up to my post #893.
    Why would anybody vote against their own self interest ? I don't know, but I have asked that of people that vote against unionization. It's the same principle. Vote for less money, crappy healthcare, if any at all, or the possibility of gutting Social Security.

    The assault on Social Security is under way
    Senators are seriously considering trying to arrange for the cutting — or gutting — of Social Security under cover of the coronavirus pandemic. This is an attack on multiple fronts. It includes proposals to suspend, or even eliminate, the payroll tax on which Social Security depends, and arranging a secret — yes, indeed — conference on Capitol Hill to find ways to “save” Social Security. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants this secret conference to be a condition of agreeing any further economic rescue package. He’s already on record calling for Social Security benefits to be, er, “adjusted.” Suspending the payroll tax as a “crisis” measure won’t help people out of work. But it will apparently make it even more needed to cut benefits down the road.
    This forthcoming election may decide the fate of Social Security. The president has vowed to eliminate the payroll tax if he’s re elected.
    There is no Social Security “crisis.” It is completely made up. There is no financial “crisis.” There is no economic “crisis.” The only Social Security “crisis” is the crisis of people believing there is a Social Security crisis.
    If anyone guts the program, or slashes benefits, they are doing so through choice, not necessity. And they are choosing to slash an absolutely vital program that keeps millions out of poverty and has functioned successfully for 80 years.
    The first is that the average Social Security benefit is just $1,514 a month. It’s chicken feed. On this, people have to live out their golden years. Cutting this by 21% would mean slashing it to $1,200 a month. That’s the average.

    Imagine the humanitarian crisis in this country if that happens.

      None of the others before Trump did anything FOR our interests. They just take votes and money and support and do nothing but lie.
      We have been on decline since 1955. Biden has been there 47 years of it....yet here we are...still looking to him and his party.

        A vote for trump is a vote against unions !
        A vote for trump is a vote against your own self interests.
        A vote for trump is a vote to continue the hate, the division, the handouts to the wealthy.
        Socialism for the corporations, capitalism for the working class.

        Union leader: ‘It only took five minutes into [GOP] convention before they started bashing unions!’
        A union vice-president issued a warning for union members who support Trump: Republicans are out to bash your unions.
        “A prominent UAW leader in the Detroit area called out President Donald Trump after an anti-teachers union activist was given a prominent spot during the first night of the Republican National Convention.
        Cindy Estrada, who heads the Fiat Chrysler Department for the UAW, took to Facebook to register her displeasure Monday, accusing Trump of being anti-union all along. It’s a point with interesting implications because unions traditionally represent an important constituency for Democrats. Trump, who in 2016 gained support among union households compared to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential run, would love to expand his following even more among union workers.
        ‘For all those union members still supporters of Trump it only took five minutes into convention before they started bashing unions! That is the real Donald Trump who has been and will always be anti union,’ read Estrada’s post, which garnered hundreds of reactions, comments and shares.
        Vote as if your future depends on it ... because it does.
        What will you do of they gut social security ?
        What will you do as he guts the unions ?

        Look around you. What you see his Donald Trumps America ... 3 and one half years in and the economy is crashing, a pandemic is raging killing several hundred thousand people and there are riots in the streets.

            Sure seems like the teacher from California had legit points.She did not fall into lockstep with the union leaders ,she has no credibility,more leftist propaganda.
            The economy is crashing, says who ???
            Isn't the death toll approx.180,000,that is not several hundred thousand.
            Riots in the street caused by the antifa crowd, and blm both condoned and financed by the leftist .
            Better get yourself ready for 4 more years, all your trump hate and promotion of leftist lies won't stop him from winning.

                  I don't see any follow up comment on this.
                  Trump claimed he would bring back manufacturing. Really ? When ?
                  Trump claimed his new USMCA would bring jobs back and boost economic conditions. For who ?

                  Milwaukee Tools among new factories in Mexico
                  Milwaukee Tools recently opened its new $83 million factory in the Mexican city of Torreón.
                  It joins a recent wave of new foreign export factories opening across Mexico since the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) went into force July 1.
                  The new factories from Boston-based Creation Technologies, Austria-based Pollmann International and El Paso, Texas-based MFG Solutions, Luxembourg-based Ikano Industries, and Milwaukee Tools will create more than 3,400 new jobs in Mexico.
                  The Milwaukee Tool factory, which opened at the beginning of August, will directly employ 600 workers. The plant will also create another 2,000 jobs in manufacturing, logistics and transportation.
                  Great job President Trump. Mexico has plenty of new jobs.

                      Same media source.

                      Obama’s Last Three Years Of Job Growth All Beat Trump’s Best Year
                      The U.S. Department of Labor released the January jobs report that showed better than expected growth of 225,000 new jobs vs. the consensus of 158,000. However, there were detailed updates with a major revision to 2018’s employment numbers, which substantially decreased job growth under President Trump.
                      Trump continually says that, “the U.S. is experiencing the best economy ever.” This is obvious gaslighting since the new results show that President Trump’s best year of job growth was 2.314 million in 2018 (the first year of the tax cut) but it falls short of any of Obama’s last three years. His boasts also don’t stand up when you peel the onion on GDP growth and realize that the Federal deficits during his Presidency will exceed any that were not impacted by a recession.
                      Obama created 1.6 million more jobs than Trump over a three-year period
                      Trump’s boasts about how many jobs he has added don’t include that he has generated 6.5 million jobs under his Presidency vs. the 8.1 million, or 1.6 million fewer than Obama did under the same timeframe. On average Obama created 43,000 more jobs per month than Trump.

                        Did you know the United States is the worst among the nations with the world’s leading economies for workers’ rights ?
                        Did you know that wages have remained stagnant during the Trump years as workers pay ( adjusted for inflation ) remains the same as 40 years ago ?
                        Did you know that child labor has remained remarkably widespread with a reported 2.5 million working particularly in agriculture ?
                        Did you know the American worker puts in more hours then their comparable foreign worker ?

                        Trump Keeps Giving American Workers a Raw Deal
                        Although Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that American workers are “thriving” during his presidency, this contention rings hollow. The mishandled coronavirus pandemic, of course, has created levels of unemployment, hunger, and misery in the United States not seen since the Great Depression. But even in the years before the pandemic, when Trump claimed he had created “the greatest economy in history,” American workers were left far behind.
                        Overall, wages remained stagnant during the Trump era, with gains in take-home pay eaten up by inflation, leaving “real wages” for workers the same as 40 years before. By contrast, the compensation received by their bosses rose dramatically, leading to an executive-to-worker pay ratio of 339 to 1.
                        Perhaps most significant, American workers were largely stripped of a key protection against exploitation: labor unions. Unscrupulous U.S. employers effectively used legal and illegal tactics—including harassing union organizing drives, firing union sympathizers, and waging vicious, anti-union campaigns—to deprive workers of union representation. As a result, although nearly two-thirds of Americans approved of unions and roughly half of unorganized workers said they would join one if they could, union membership in the United States fell to an all-time low, with severe consequences for workers.

                        When it comes to unions, the story is much the same. American unions represented a much smaller portion of the workforce than labor organizations in comparable societies. In 2019, when union membership in the United States fell to 10.1%, it stood at 90.4 percent in Iceland, 66.1 percent in Sweden, 54.2 percent in Belgium, 34.3 percent in Italy, 25.9 percent in Canada, 24.2 percent in Ireland, and 23.2 percent in Britain. Union membership in OECD nations averaged 16 percent.

                        Not surprisingly, in a 2020 report, the International Trade Union Confederation—representing 200 million workers in 163 countries—ranked the United States as the worst among the nations with the world’s leading economies for workers’ rights.

                                Trump just seems to bring out the worst in people. These radical righties, and all the other militia radicals support dictator Trump. For decades, most people understood the fringe elements of militia groups, skin heads, nazi wanna-be's and other brain dead idiots were sick and demented. Seems they have been resurrected within the cult of trumpism.

                                Proud Boys brutally beat Black Lives Matter protesters after Trump rally
                                "Hundreds of pro-Trump demonstrators gathered in Oregon City on Labor Day for a planned vehicle rally," Jonathan Levinson and Sergio Olmos reported. "The rally's organizers did not lead the caravan into Portland, as happened at the previous week's event. Instead, vehicles drove from Oregon City and headed south on Interstate 5. Some drivers traveled with their vehicle doors open on the highway, or with people perched on top of vehicles as they drove."
                                "Members of the Proud Boys, an extremist group that regularly engages in street violence, and other demonstrators traveled to Salem after the official rally concluded. They congregated at the Oregon State Capitol Building, where some carried firearms and baseball bats," the network reported. "In one clash between the groups, members of the pro-Trump group attacked a counterprotester with a baseball bat and pepper spray. After a second similar attack, Salem police officers and Oregon State Police troopers arrested at least two men with the conservative demonstrators."
                                Demented sicko's.
