TRUMP SCREWS AVERAGE AMERICANS EVERY CHANCE HE GETS.
This fall Trump will go to the Rust Belt, telling all the blue collars that the Clintons gave away their jobs, but Trump will get their jobs back.
Well…he’s made these promises before. Let’s play our game!
TRUMP HIRES ILLEGAL ALIENS SO HE CAN FIRE AMERICANS.
All across the Trump empire, the same pattern emerges: he gets rid of American workers, and illegally hires foreigners – and then abuses them.
Trump Tower was built using 200 illegal foreign workers working twelve hours every day with no overtime; they were paid $5 per hour or not paid at all. Some slept at the site of the wrecked building. There were injuries, and potential long-term effects because they breathed asbestos dust without protective gear. OR HARD HATS. No records were kept, no taxes or Social Security paid. Trump and his team threatened the workers with deportation if they complained, and threatened their lawyer too. Trump used these workers to steal pensions and health benefits from union workers. The immigrants sued. Witnesses confirm Trump lied when he said he knew nothing about it. Trump was nailed for conspiracy. Along the way, Trump promised artwork from the tower to a museum and then destroyed it, using the illegal workers.
The point is – Trump did all this so he could avoid hiring American workers.
Trump criticizes the H1B visa program for hiring foreign workers at lower pay than American workers would have got. But he uses the program himself, illegally. The law requires that workers be paid the prevailing wage for that job and market, and/or to pay them what is promised on the visa application, whichever is higher. One model was paid only $5000 over three years: a lot of her money went to Trump for “fees”.
Trump’s son in law is in the racket too. He is building Trump Bay Street in New Jersey by running an H2B program that brings Chinese immigrants into America. Essentially he’s helping immigrants to get into this country with little screening, in exchange for hefty bribes.
Trump’s Florida club hires hundreds of foreign workers, leaving hundreds of Americans out of jobs. Trump claimed there were no Americans who could do the jobs, but Florida job placement officials said that was nonsense. Trump has total control over the workers because they’re not allowed to quit and work elsewhere: he can mistreat them all he wants, and pay them pennies.
Here's brass for you: he just did a recent press conference where, among other things, he told the country how he is going to make the economy more conducive to hiring American workers. And he made this speech at his Florida club! This is the place where he imports illegal workers so he can AVOID hiring Americans. He was bragging about his plan to hire Americans, while in the back kitchen his foreign slaves were washing dishes.
Undocumented and immigrant workers were found at other Trump sites also, like his vineyard and his D.C. hotel. With these immigrant scams all across his empire, he gets a two-fer: he gets to abuse and exploit vulnerable immigrant workers, and he gets to screw American workers out of jobs they should have had.
When he was running that fake Trump University, he bragged about outsourcing American jobs, totally spitting in our faces. “We hear terrible things about outsourcing jobs. It is not always a terrible thing. I understand that outsourcing means that employees lose jobs. Because work is often outsourced to other countries, it means Americans lose jobs. In other cases, nonunion employees get the work. We have to look at the bigger picture. Outsourcing helped companies be more competitive and more productive. That means they make more money.”
And of course the Donald Trump clothing lines, made in…China. Same for Ivanka’s line of shoes.
TRUMP LOVES TO SCREW OVER AVERAGE AMERICANS.
Trump has made an entire career out of screwing average Americans, lying to them, and taking their money.
He excels at destroying jobs for American workers. Average Joes put out of work, their unions attacked.
Trump uses the H2B and H1B visa programs to AVOID hiring American workers BY BRINGING IN IMMIGRANTS. And then abuses the immigrants.
He killed a Connecticut building project – and hundreds of jobs – just because it was run by someone he didn’t like.
Trump complains that the minimum wage should be lower.
Trump’s casino was fined $200,000 for discriminating against black and female blackjack dealers.
Workers were hurt and killed on his work sites.
His two favorite words are “you’re fired”.
Trump brags about not paying his construction workers what they’re owed. He screws over contractors regularly, paying bills late and short-changing them. He ripped off one contractor for $100,000.
Even Mitt Romney, the guy who made his bones buying businesses and throwing thousands of people out of work, was appalled at Trump’s practices. “His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and their workers.”
The money that average Joes put into Trump’s buildings was stolen, their “university tuition” was stolen, partners and customers were ripped off.
Trump ripped off customers for hundreds of dollars apiece in a videophone deal which was actually a pyramid scheme.
Trump wiped out the life savings of a hundred families in the Trump Baja scam.
In both New York and Chicago, he conned city officials into giving him tax breaks which netted him millions each year – all of which taxpayers had to pay for, year after year. The Donald Tax.
The little guy who can’t get a mortgage because his bank was defrauded in one of Trump’s schemes: most of the debt Trump ran out on, was owed to small banks.
The little school that almost lost their land because Trump wanted to build a golf course – he actually sued the school.
Trump raised money which was supposed to go to specific veterans’ groups, and a couple million of the money seems to be “stuck” in Trump’s pocket. So, he screwed the veterans too. In fact, even when he was young, Trump saw to it that even more Average Joes faced battle in Vietnam: he was fit for military service but used four deferments to avoid Vietnam; he had conflicting stories about his medical status.
Trump has been a defendant in 138 lawsuits – so far. Every one of those lawsuits represents another group of innocent people whose lives he ruined.
So look at all the people he screwed, and wants to screw some more. If you’re a worker, union member, small investor, one of Trump’s “students”, a relative of a dead or injured construction guy, an employee at a small bank, one of Trump’s partners, a small business owner, a contractor, a city taxpayer, a guy trying to get a mortgage, a minimum-wage worker, an American trying to get a job in a mixed hiring market, a casino worker, black, female, a soldier or a veteran – if you’re any of those things, you’re one of the people Trump has been trying to rip off.
He thinks we’re all morons – his presidential campaign proves that vividly. Trump has ripped off so many people he has trouble getting Wall Street banks to work with him. So now he is targeting new victims: gullible voters.
