This guy is SO not a friend to the working class. His hypocrisy knows NO bounds.
Here's an excerpt from the Huffpo article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-union-vegas-hotel_us_5776b0dee4b09b4c43c05424?c9i6yldi

"Before entering the voting booth, those union members might want to know how much money one of Trumps businesses has spent in an effort to persuade low-wage workers not to unionize. The Culinary Workers Union recently organized housekeepers and other service workers at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The union won the election in December but not without a fight from hotel owners Trump Ruffin Commercial LLC. Thats a joint venture between the likely GOP nominee and casino magnate Phil Ruffin, himself a major financial backer of Trumps presidential run.
According to Labor Department disclosure forms reviewed by The Huffington Post, Trump Ruffin shelled out more than half a million dollars last year to a consulting firm that combats union organizing efforts. The money was paid from Trump Ruffin to Cruz & Associates in a series of seven payments between July and December, totaling $560,631. Nearly $285,000 of that money was paid over the course of two weeks in December, shortly after the hotel held its union election."
So there it is. Not only is he unqualified to be president at every level, the guy is virulently anti-union.
Not acceptable!

(47,315 posts)that kind of political correctness is for losers. Trump is a winner. A really successful businessman who screws over pretty much everyone who ever gets involved with him.
