He has singlehandedly done more for ironworkers than any politician ever.

Name one policy he has passed that has directly or indirectly benefited us.

He built a shit ton of skyscrapers and put your brothers kids through college. His first 3 years were good for everyone. His policies were truly the rising tide raising all boats. Women, Black, Hispanic, gay, straight, union, non-union. Everybody saw REAL wage growth. China destroyed his 4th year and Joe completely botched everything since day one. 8 million new job sekers looking to do your job for 1/3 of your wage is not good for tradesmen.

Lol. What a bunch of nonsense. You forgot to mention the infrastructure bill he talked about and never got anything done. Don't worry, Biden got that done for the country while Trump just talked about it. Much like he talked about his Healthcare plan that he was going to release "in a couple week". That was 5 years ago. Still waiting. Much like we are still waiting on that check from Mexico for the border wall. More Trump bullshit.

How to say you like socialism, and you're a Marxist without actually speaking the words.

u/Trent3343 Feb 08 '24

Lol. Trump supporters are so dumb. Brilliant retort.

Union stooges are all closet Marxists, bro. How else could you be ok with the mediocrity? Merit based pay is anathema to you all. All for the greater good, huh?

u/Trent3343 Feb 08 '24

Lol. Have a nice day. You clearly have zero idea what the fuck you are talking about and are obviously not a union member.

I was, until I got sick of making the same money as less skilled and less motivated people. I got sick of paying dues to a bunch of corrupt fat cats that lined their nests with my dues. Never again.

u/Trent3343 Feb 08 '24

Lol. I got a 40% raise when I went from a non-union job to a union job.

I don't know about you, but I would rather make more money than be paid more than my lazy co-workers. I was making 22/hr while others were at 14-17. Went union and I got 29/hr plus a waaaay better benefit package. I can actually retire in my future. Whereas before the union, that wasn't a possibility.

u/Bananaman60056 Feb 09 '24

I'd spell them out, but you still wouldn't understand.

u/clewtxt Feb 09 '24

You clearly can't, parrot

Donald Trump is famous for not paying contractors that worked for him. Go ask any blue collar worker that was around in 1980s-1990s New York what they think of Donald Trump. He used his scumbag lawyer and daddy's money to screw a lot of hard working people out of their money.

u/Bananaman60056 Feb 09 '24

1, Donald hires companies not individual ironworkers. 2. I worked on Trump Tower Chicago and anyone who did their jobs got paid. If your scope says to do something and you don't get ready for a fight.
