When Trump is asked which side he's on in the @UAW strike he won't give a clear answer.

He says, "I'm on the side of making our country great..." Not a word of criticism for CEOs.
Then he says, "The autoworkers are not going to have any jobs when you come right down to it." pic.twitter.com/3waBpZ6iF8
This is how the latest iteration of Meet the Press is going to play out? One former WHPC sitting down with a man who has 91 charges and four indictments and listen to him babble about labor, a thing he has no idea about because his working life has been about stiffing contractors and hiring the undocumented? Trump knows how to cheat on his wives, his taxes, cheat his workers out of pay, but he does not and will not learn shit about the auto industry or the union people making it go.
Autoworkers would have jobs if their company management would roll with the times. There's a failure of vision when business leaders decide money over everything: and what could be reasonably profitable businesses are looking at short-term profitability or face liquidation because quick cash yo!
I've never been persuaded that businessman Trump even understands business, and not just because he bankrupted casinos playing with house money--like buying properties practically next to each other and keeping them kind of low-rent and all. I can sympathize with people who think the casino times was just him playing with a version of money laundering--why not? Things like Trump insisting on the US having the highest CBT rate when we don't, or pretending the foreign countries pay the tariffs in his entirely not a free-market scheme kind of make me wonder just what Trump got for his Daddy-purchased business degree.
The man's fucking dim and has been for years. His lightbulb has been blown but he insists he's lighting up the world. So why are Megyn Kelly and Kristin Welker giving his adjudicated rapist ass and four-time indicted self such a platform?
