    Smart move, Trump’s word is worthless and any concessions he might agree to give to unions aren’t worth a damn. He’s always been happy to fuck over workers for the leisure class.

      He doesn’t pay his own fucking lawyers. And in case anyone was in a coma from 2016-2020, Trump did absolutely fuck-all to help union workers - or just non-rich people in general - unless it also happened to personally benefit him.
