The level of hypocrisy is just unconscionable, which is exactly why it's perfectly fitting for art-of-the-steal hypocrat Donald Trump. Not only did Trump fail to lift a finger this week to stop congressional Republicans from stripping the “Buy America” provision from a water infrastructure bill, he also made headlines this week for getting waivers to hire more foreign workers at his Mar-a-Lago resort when there's hundreds of qualified Floridians available to fill those jobs.
But when he got on stage Thursday in front of a crowd of his fact-repellant followers, he knew they would take whatever load of crap he served up. Deniella Diaz reports:
Donald Trump spotlighted his economic goals Thursday, using the third stop on his "thank you" tour to reassure Americans that he'd bring back jobs to the United States and pushed a message for companies and countries around the world: "Buy American, hire American."
"The American worker built this country and now it's time for American workers to have a government for the first time in decades answers to them," Trump said at his rally.
Trump's only clear economic "goal" is to line his own pockets while selling himself as the champion of the very same working class Americans he's selling down the river. And if any of his supporters could ever tear themselves away from Breitbart News and Infowars long enough to let a tiny crack of light penetrate their brains, they might figure that out. Until that time, they'll just keep lapping up whatever Trump's spewing while he laughs all the way to bank.
