I guess the real news here is just too harsh to take. The NeoFascist Administration of DJT has now officially taken a large chunk of the Union Movement away from the Democratic Party, and is working to make his combination of National Fascism and Socialism the way of the future.
I cannot believe Democrats could not see this coming, and I cannot believe Democrats are standing flat-footed even now, as our natural base, disaffected by Democrats who put FDR and JFK and LBJ and Jimmy Carter and WJC into the Presidency, by generations of being taken for granted by us, standing alone, watching jobs disappear overseas, seeing wages decline and Unions busted, and the Unionization of Big Box stores frustrated by weak Federal Law, and even standing in Union Halls alone to get out the vote with NO visible help from us, the Democratic Party.
If we allow this to stand unnoticed, unfought, and unmentioned, we have given up hope for any recovery of a Democratic Coalition for the next generation, and we will have turned over the nation to National Socialists. I am praying it is not too late, but we are gonna have to move fast, or we are going into the ash heap of history ourselves, along with the traditional Republican Party.
THE HARSH NEWS
Reuters:
“President Donald Trump met Monday at the White House with leaders of construction, carpenters, plumbers and sheet metal unions, the White House said.
According to the White House, participants included North America's Building Trades Unions President Sean McGarvey, Laborers' International Union of North America President Terry O'Sullivan, SMART sheet metal workers' union President Joseph Sellers, United Brotherhood of Carpenters President Doug McCarron and Mark McManus, president of the United Association that represents plumbers, pipefitters, welders and others.”

The America-First winning is exponential. Union leadership met today with a pro-jobs, pro-growth, pro-USA president. Leadership from construction/manufacturing, pipe fitters, steel workers and industrial machinist unions met today with President Trump and exit the meeting with incredible praise for the respect he showed them’
Pause. Let that sink in. Union Leadership praising a Republican President. It’s a new day folks, and President Trump is the leading edge of a tectonic political realignment.
Just to put an exclamation point on the evolution, President Trump takes union leadership into the oval office and puts icing on the cake. Watch, and more importantly ‘listen’ to this video:
Union leaders say they’re looking forward to working with Pres Trump: “The respect [he] just showed us… was nothing short of incredible.” pic.twitter.com/...

Legacy left-wing media will do their earnest best to downplay these events.
A few hours earlier President Trump brought the Corporate Executive Officers of major U.S. manufacturing businesses into a similar meeting to discuss the agenda of America First policy and outline his economic policy initiatives.
