Sounds like he wants more child labor and thinks little of workers in general
“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in a press release. “When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean.”
You hear that? They’re making passing references to children working again. They really want to reinstate child labor practices.
C’mon, that’s a hella reach. Trump’s saying automobile manufacture is so easy an idiot could do it.
saying they ship parts stateside that merely require American workers to “take them out of a box” and assemble.
That’s it. Insulting and ignorant, in the extreme, but this isn’t some dog-whistle to normalize child labor.
Much to be said about him being so senile and out-of-touch that he alienates all factory workers. Yikes.
I’d agree with you… except Sarah Hucka Sands has been aggressively rolling back protections for child workers in her state.
It’d be just an idiom if not for them literally doing it.
Its part of it. MAGAts can only speak dog whistle. They’re solution to the consequences of the Great Deportation is to have poor children fill the gap.
Of course they do.
Look, womens lib in the 60s was a fucking GODSEND to the owner class. Seemingly overnight the workforce doubled in size and productivity exploded! If you Google a picture of pay v productivity, wealth inequality, and size of the workforce you’ll notice that they all deviate in the late 60s early 70s; roughly 68-71.
Basic economics, supply and demand. The supply of workers just ballooned, but the demand for it, oh no, all the owners had to do was not build that last factory that would’ve allowed full employment. Extra workers keeps wages down. Immigration keeps wages down, same unadulterated logic, irregardless of the whatever the Democrats or CNN spit at you. "it’s an overall benefit for society to have a ton of immigration…cuz it keeps wages down and all the money flowing to the top. Shut down immigration and businesses would have to compete for talent again (but we don’t have capitalists anymore, the owners would rather collude than compete. Today’s rich are aspiring techno-feudal royalty, by Divine Right of the Invisible Hand). If immigration is a net positive for “society”, if only high society; then no immigration, = money flows into calloused hands. We’re all stretched so thin already, getting parity back against capital would spur the greatest economy ever seen. 200million people with extra money after bills?
ah so few make this connection. =) 👋 nice to meet you.
I don’t know about getting them to build vehicles, but one thing Trump’s children are good at is treating their charity like a personal line of credit and pretending to run it while actually doing nothing. Or at least they were until NY Attorney General Letitia James forced them to own up, dissolve the organization, and agree to restrictions on future charity work + training.
Who knows? Maybe they’d all find something actually honest to be good at if they spent some time on an assembly line.
Trump, your child couldn’t put a lego car together.
Also I’m pretty sure there’s drug testing at automotive plants. How’s your cokehead of a child going to even get in the door?
Let’s not attack children. Its not their fault they have trumpnforna parent. I assume he’s talking about a child (Barron, now teen, he’s probably unaware), not his chikdnthats an adult.
Barron is 18 now. Fair game.
But is he a shit heel like the rest of Trump’s children?
Guilty until proven innocent but he is a crypto-bro and is supposedly leading World Liberty Financial
There’s a saying, Randy-bo-bandy…
Have you ever heard of the shit-apple?
That’s bill shit, I just wanna say it isn’t cool to hate. Barron didn’t pick his dad and why would expect him to disown his dad? Like it’s pretty clear, you’re just looking for another person to hate
Well, yeah that WAS the case, but now it’s looking like he’s walking in Dad’s footsteps.
You don’t know diddly squat
I’m sure ONE of Baron or Eric (prolly not Don Jr) could hold down a car assembly job
Yikes 😬
Honest question (not in bad faith). What’s a child worker? Like what ages? Cause I think a 14 year old who wants a job should be able to get one of them want money.
