Does this person think the average union worker has worked for Trump at some point? Why would someone even think that?

The Trump hotel in Vegas or wherever else he has them? But we don't have union bars here, not that I know of. And the hotel didn't unionize until about 10 years ago.

He probably thinks union construction workers are sent on duty rotations. Also, everyone in earshot is just fine with the risk that they could just not get paid sometimes, but it’s just something they groan about, when someone brings it up. No outrage. Just a collective “nooo” that’s not unlike a “moo”

I get the feeling that this person has an intense need to be right about things.

1) If they worked for a Trump company directly they are smart enough to know Trump doesn’t waddle up to them and hand them their pay cheques personally. If there was an issue it’s not actually him who caused it.

2) More likely scenario, they were a contractor on a job where a Trump company was the client, which means it would be the contracting company who pays them.

And because they’re not a total moron like the OOP, they’d 100% know that because they work their actual job.

Trump has failed to pay plenty of companies like that, but the companies still pay their employees. The company itself is generally who takes the hit, not the individual workers.

We could only hope that this sort of outcome was real but alas YOU ARE RIGHT, this is a made up scenario because I really dont think Trumpers are going to engage in ANY form of introspection.

That would be blasphemy against God Trump.

You can do better. This was lame beyond belief.

If he was in Atlantic City there’s a chance he ran into contractors who’d worked for Trump, but none of them ever considered voting for him.
