Trump's attack on union leader Chuck Jones is backfiring

[WVMade]

[O]n Thursday, a number of unions throughout the country, who had kept close watch on the situation, expressed disappointment and anger with a future leader of the free world using his position to bash one of their own. After all, Trump put up the best numbers in union households since Ronald Reagan won his second term in 1984.

“The attacks on Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, must stop immediately,” Elaine Kim, of 32BJ SEIU, the largest building service workers union in the country, said in a statement to The Daily Beast.

“Jones was doing his job defending working men and women and the families that depend on them by speaking out and sharing the facts about the deal with Carrier. To attack Jones and his family is not only beyond the pale but anti-worker and un-American. To speak the truth is a freedom generations of Americans died for, and worth defending today and forever. We call on those who cherish that freedom, including those in positions of influence, to join us in standing with Chuck Jones, loudly and publicly.”

The message of solidarity was apparently heard loud and clear.

This is just one example and it's just the beginning. He's nuts if he thinks he can keep bashing people with tweets especially when he's in the wrong. He's his own worst enemy.

I must have said that 8 times during the election. Yet, the desperate nationalist fools still voted for him.

Donnie's threat "spend more time working-less time talking" reeks of upper class entitlement. The disillusioned Trumpets are in for a rude awakening. Only the most brain washed are still in denial. He hasn't even taken office yet and angry supporters are coming out of the woodwork.

Yes, normally unions are such strong backers of the GOP.

Unions are for fags.
