Union workers who supported Donald Trump just got a rude awakening, although The awakening should have been what Trump's done his entire life to you, screwing over workers and mocking union workers, but I guess that wasn't enough. Well, Donald Trump recently met with the head of the Longshoremen's Union, and Trump came out with a statement, and he was like, I am against automation at the docks. I think it's a bad thing. But don't you realize Trump just says whatever he wants you to hear him say when he leaves a meeting? Because what did Elon Musk just do? Who's running the show? Who's the real puppet master here? who we saw actually is controlling Donald Trump's economic policies, for example, when it came to the H-1B visa mega civil war, Elon Musk posted like a six to seven minute video trashing automation at the docks. So take a look at what Elon Musk posted. You see Elon Musk repost. And here's the post by a guy named John Stossel who says, not a single American port ranks in the top 50 worldwide.

How is that possible? One reason is that while other countries welcome automation, American labor unions ban it. As one commentator notes, a few weeks ago, Trump came out in favor of banning port automation. Now, Elon is reposting a video that stakes out the exact opposite position. I don't know what it sounds like when Donald Trump was saying that he's against expanding the H-1B visa program and that he would help Americans get those STEM jobs in science and technology and engineering and mathematics. But then Donald Trump said, no, we actually need STEM. engineers from India. We have to expand the H-1B visa program because Donald Trump and Elon Musk are now saying there's simply not enough college-educated Americans to fill these STEM-related jobs. So we have to get the talent from India. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are calling to abolish, yep, you guessed it, the Department of Education. So

Let's just take a look at what Donald Trump's statement was back on December 12th, just so you see it's directly at odds with what Elon just posted. Trump, and then the media runs with it. Trump comes out against port automation. Trump is against unions. Get that through your head. The guy hates unions. The guy screwed over all of his contractors. He screwed over all of the workers or most of the workers. He's bankrupted a number of companies. He has left a trail of ruin when it comes to workers. He's on audio recording with Elon Musk, mocking, I don't play audio of Trump anymore, video of him, but the audio recording, which I played for you multiple times, he praises Elon for firing striking workers.

Okay, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, you think they're your friends, union workers? You think they're the man of the unions? You think they're man of the people? They're the people who are hanging out at Mar-a-Lago while also filing briefs. before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to eliminate the National Labor Relations Board. You're not going to have a place to bring your grievances or that will recognize the right of your union to exist. It's not even gonna matter if your labor secretary in terms of Republicans is somewhat pro-labor if you don't have a forum to assert your grievance. Just so you hear, here's Donald Trump's post December 12, 2024.
