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:

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.
.
However, you’ll note the keen difference between the CEO meeting and the Labor Union meeting. President Trump brought the union team into the oval office. This is not a subtle or nuanced matter which should be overlooked by those who are understanding who we have elected as “A People’s President“.
Trump is exponentially smart, and knows how to present a very specific and truthful outline of principle for the American electorate. Within those bold truths, decades of manipulative political efforts deployed by his political opposition is simply destroyed like a feather in a hurricane.
This is jaw-droppingly brilliant stuff which needs to be emphasized. Not only is our President focused like a laser on American interests by walking in the land of bold and dynamic truth, he’s also deconstructing all political opposition at the same time.
How are Washington DC liberal democrats going to stand against Trump, when the political constituents of traditional democrat “blue-dog” moderate groups align with him? Short answer, they can’t.
How are Washington DC big government (Wall street) Republicans going to stand up against Trump when the base of their support aligns with Trump policy. Again, short answer, they can’t.
The base of President Trump’s support is widening and deepening as rapidly as the base of his initial support was created. The difference between the two groups is the initial base trusted him because of his history on these issues; the second group, the enlarging base, are those who did not believe but are now seeing reality – He’s the real deal.
As he reshapes the political constructs, President Trump is leaving the Democrat party with only the raving moonbats as their constituency – the very far left. Additionally, those within the Republican party who oppose him are similarly revealed as big government, crony capitalistic GOPe types. In essence, President Trump is methodically fracturing the UniParty.
“Wolverines” !
….Trump follows up meeting with the CEO’s and then labor unions, by IMMEDIATELY meeting with key Democrat and Republican leadership.
The party leadership is also watching Trump meet with business titans and union leadership, and he’s doesn’t give the UniParty any time to ‘huddle up’ and construct their political oppositional talking points.
President Trump’s schedule of urgency means the UniParty leaders have to relate to the events ‘in real time’ without the traditional poll-testing, asking the various lobbying special interests for constructs, or the ability to advance a constructed oppositional narrative.
In essence, Trump’s high energy approach, based on American values and principles, creates consistently building momentum and opposition is always reacting.
President Trump creates winning!

I actually met Gov. Walker a couple of years ago, when he was thinking of running; I asked him, “Governor, why won’t any of you make the case for the AMERICAN WAY? That what made us the greatest nation on earth in record time can do so again?” but he just looked at me like a gigged frog. Same with Rick Santorum, whom I also met at a Republican meeting. There were several others.
It was apparent to me that these people had just LOST THE PLOT. They no longer knew or believed in the American Story. They were all looking at the trees, not the forest. They’d lost faith in the Great Experiment.

I would also like to add something to Sundance’s brilliant observation. President Trump didn’t just invite union leaders to the Oval Office. He invited SKILLED LABOR leaders.
The distinction of skilled labor is important here. The members those men represent must attend technical college for two years before they can even get accepted to the union apprenticeship which lasts another 5 years. That’s 7 years of training commitment to a single profession. They also must keep up continued training to keep the licenses. It pisses me off to no end when teachers union or other participates in the fight for fifteen nonsense and makes it appear that skilled labor is heavily involved.
Many men/women from skilled labor have been proudly supporting President Trump for a long time. Today was no surprise and it was long overdue to see union leaders acknowledge him in the way they did. President Trump will grow his skilled labor base. He may even take the whole damn AFL-CIO. Collective bargaining shouldn’t assign itself to one political affiliation.

It does help that a significant number of union workers voted for Trump, greasing the skids as it were for the union bosses to pay attention to him.
It also helps that between Republicans and Democrats both, unions have been ravaged by the shrinking manufacturing industry. They are at a point where they have to consider their options or face eventual extinction.
I am personally anti-union, but acknowledge that is the framework for certain sectors of industry, and that if we can get them on board with Trump’s agenda, he will be unstoppable in implementing it. They still wield a lot of power, especially in blue territory. That can convert Democrat votes on Trump legislation. Every extra vote helps.

I have been in a union. I’ll state that up front.
My primary reason for being anti-union is due to its socialist roots. You do know that it is a socialist entity, right? It is anti-capitalist in nature.
I am a free-market capitalist. I believe, and have seen in action, that pay, benefits, and protection of workers naturally become better under good conditions.
Unions exist to force these things on a company, regardless of conditions. That in and of itself introduces risk to a company. If they can’t afford in bad times to continue to operate under a bargaining agreement, ultimately they shutdown or leave the country. The union will always eventually kill its own jobs. It always happens sooner or later.
Another reason I am anti-union is for the same reason I am anti-homeowners associations. The same kinds of people who end up running HMAs are the same who end up running unions most of the time. Self-interested people who are more interested in what they want than what their constituents want. They’re politicians basically.
Most workers neither have the time or interest to take part in union politics, not that their voice would be heard anyway (I tried). So their fate is generally in the hands of a select few. It’s a microscopic version of socialism. The “idea” is a collective makes decisions to benefit the whole. But it always ends up being a select few who make decisions that benefit themselves.
And ultimately I am against any kind of collectivism, in any shape or form. I’ve only worked one union job. I had steadier pay increases in my non-union jobs, than the union one, because of politics. I was anti-union before being in one; being in one only confirmed my reasons for being so.
Finally, I do not trust how unions entrench themselves and how the rules favor unionization. I was there when the union was voted in: we voted our ballots with some union thug breathing down our neck. We had to fill it in pencil. Not pen. Pencil. The box with the ballots was kept overnight by the union thug.
Several years later, most of my coworkers decided they’d had enough of the union and wanted out. That is when we found out that getting out was almost impossible. And that it was illegal to even discuss it except outside of work.
Fat chance getting everyone together after work to discuss it…most worked shifts. Discussing unionizing, however, was perfectly OK. So it’s a double standard benefiting unions.
The reason the union pressed to come in was because many of their workers were facing layoffs soon and they wanted seniority status to hire in to take jobs at our plant.
I have a lot of reasons to not like or trust unions. These are but a few.

While we are still dealing with that legacy, their failure with the unions meant communism had really no chance to take hold in the US. There would be no “worker revolution” here.

Well, safety really has nothing to do with unions, non-unions, or regulations in my experience, and everything to do with the culture of the workplace. Culture is everything when it comes to safety.
Ideally (and I have seen this in action in one particular workplace, non-union), workers do have representation…in a good boss. Regardless of if he or she has done the work (the specific case was a she who had not done the work, but was an excellent leader…ex-army officer…who put her workers first).
I just haven’t seen the benefits of unions to counter the drawbacks. Most every workplace has relatively good safety in the US. And I don’t even attribute that to regulations.
Lawsuits have done more for worker safety in the US than anything.
Kinda funny you mentioned both electrical work and nuclear work, as I have done both (currently work in nuclear). I’ve never welded at 200′, but I’ve changed light bulbs that high up on smoke stacks at a steel mill. It’s amazing how much such mammoth structures swing in the wind when you are that high up.

I don’t find nuclear work or live electrical work funny. Changing light bulbs is respectable work. Not knocking it but not the same as racking spring loaded breakers in power stations.

The contracted worker must ignore the idiot 30 miles away who’s dressed business casual and doesn’t know what they are talking about. But that changes his/her status with that office. Simply because he/she chooses to do the right thing. But since you insist. Here’s an example. And it isn’t funny.

President Trump seems to always be at LEAST one step ahead of republican AND demo-rat leaders, and the MSM… I find that fascinating! His ‘one-step-ahead’ abilities contribute immensely to the continued WINNING for all Americans, and to the frustration of those who cannot out-think, out-smart him!
It surely DOES drive them all crazy, and along with all the WINNING, it makes watching what he accomplishes so fun to watch!
And fellow Deplorables… He’s only officially doing the work of the American people one day so far… PLEASE, let’s keep enjoying the WINNING and not even kid about it being too much, too soon. We’ve waited so very long for such a time. We never thought it would happen. We lived with our guts all twisted and our concerns overwhelming for so long. It’s certainly TOO early to even kid about ‘it’s too much winning’; we shouldn’t let that thought even cross our minds! IMHO.
I can’t wait to see what Mr. President accomplishes tomorrow!

Nor can I….. And the mainstream media is still experiencing disequilibrium at the feet of DJT….. Earlier today I responded to a WaPO columnist who attempted to disparage our POTUS:
Ah, dear Margaret, you and your media mates continue to flail and fail in this new world of presidential politics….. You and the media massed and attempted a media assassination of DJT as his presidential campaign grew ~ and grew ~ and grew….. So did DJT!!! He grew, in part, by standing up to you and your mates, taking your best shots then responding with even bigger, better shots, because it is the MAINSTREAM MEDIA who is the bogyman, or should I say “bogymedia,” not DJT! The anger, vitriol, bias and lies came from you ~ and asymmetrical candidate and POTUS that he is, DJT refused to be your punching bag! He punched back!!! The chorus of cheers heard across our Republic are for HIM, not the MEDIA!!! The image of the MAINSTREAL MEDIA is that of Don Knotts vs. Rocky Marciano!!! The MEDIA is Knotts ~ Marciano is DJT!!!

Excellent, Jim! Don Knotts, however, was a great actor who depicted a harmless, warm-hearted, bumbling side kick who was the comic relief to a strong Sheriff. Sadly, MSM is not harmless or warm-hearted but they more and more bumble their profession and if we look at their slanted version of the truth, one COULD say they are comic relief, but again, they are NOT harmless… so to me they are no Don Knotts. Anyone have a better suggestion??
In any event, yes, the cheers are for our Wonderful Wizard of Deplorables, President Trump and NOT for the lying media.

Maybe some one can explain for me – was raised in grew up in Arizona, so my knowledge of Unions is not vast. Now it affects my husband, which affects our family.
My husband has worked from a business which is like a Costco but for restaurant owners. The company has 2 locations in Arizona, and their headquarters are located in New York. When hired, he was told that he would have to pay dues and become a member of the UFCW 348S (also in NY)- that only management was non union . 7 years later, the UFCW348S leadership envolved in some scandal and imprisoned .. the new leadership renamed UFCW 2013. He pays dues to the union, and literally has never seen a representative from the union, half the time our insurance through the union is denied (especially when the office is closed for verification), since out of state. Last year he had to get knee surgery, ever claim that was sent to them, didn’t get paid, after months of sending them notices w/ the correspondence that the hospital/doctor were sending to the house… they slowly started paying them. I would have called but at the time, their website (union) did not even provide a phone number!
Recently my husband changed departments, which was a difference in pay – they never rehired for the position he left and now had questions about the pay since he is required to preform for both – he was told that he would have to contact his union when he asked the store manager. I looked up the union UFCW2013 website — and i saw 2 entries on their recent news site,
U.F.C.W Local 2013 President Louis Mark Carotenuto On Election Day Results
stating … “As divisive as Trump’s campaign was, he has won and it is a reality we must all live with. I see this as an indictment of how divided our country truly is. To echo the sentiment of Hillary Clinton’s concession speech this morning, we must maintain hope, dignity, and respect for one another. Together, we must rise above the toxicity and begin the work of getting our country back on track.
As a labor organization, we must renew our efforts and fight harder than ever before for our members. Clear eyed and focused on making sure that neither Trump, nor any politician that seeks to degrade the hard working and the middle class succeeds. Our Union will be committed and on the front lines of the fight to support our members as they fight to support their families and way of life, continuing to strive for sustainable, livable wages, and benefits.
Local 2013 Activists Travel to Battleground State Pennsylvania to GOTV For Hillary Clinton!
This Saturday, November 5th, a group of Local 2013 activists traveled to Philadelphia to knock on doors to Get Out the Vote for Hillary Clinton. Joined by sister U.F.C.W Locals and other Union allies, volunteers talked to hundreds of voters in the crucial battleground state.

Now I have more questions then ever… .. Do they use my husbands membership dues to pay and support Hillary Clinton. What is the purpose of the union itself… How do they really help at all….
Maybe someone can explain it so I am not so negative about it!

Yes, they’re using your husband’s dues for supporting Democrats across the nation, especially for president, etc. If you look at the biggest money donors to the Dem campaigns, the unions give Dems MORE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION. Millions and millions of your dollars, all shoveled at politicians like Hillary. It’s outrageous.

My brother, a willing and supportive union member, went from his home state of Washington to Wisconsin to GOTV for the Walker recall. I was shocked when he told me that. I believe his union of grocery store workers paid his way. Glad he, and they, lost and Walker won! THIS is what Walker had to go through and what Reince experienced as well.

Arizona is a right to work state – I don’t see how they have jurisdiction here to make my husband join the union that literally does nothing for him /them. In the 7 years has never had an union meeting or even had a union representative come to his site – during the first year, he had said that they had offered his co-worker .50 raise to the their union steward – they laughed because when he asked what he would have to do – the guy told him that if someone was going to get fired, he had to be present in the room…. asked do i have to say or do anything – the management said no… when i have questions and tell my husband to ask management – they tell him to contact the union??? WTH

It would also be good to consider the potential long range foreign policy consequences this may have…the media will be sure to yammer on about the short range implications (which will not be entirely the truth: China will be featured, but they are not the ones who will be complaining the most about this). In my opinion Trump has done a remarkable thing in this category as well by dropping TPP. It should benefit not only the U.S. but also Asia long term in regards to stability (it will of course be up to the Asian countries to capitalize on this, but he has set the new stage and given that opportunity).
This is of course just my opinion; I have considered TPP to be potentially very destabilizing for all countries involved long term.

I heard that the TPP puts America on the same plane as any other country in the agreement, so if the terms of something are bad for us, we’re stuck. Not good.
Anyway, when it comes to business deals, it’s a blast of fresh air to have an actual billionaire businessman on OUR side of the table!

Sundance, you captured Trump’s brilliant strategy and tactics in a nutshell: “President Trump’s schedule of urgency means the UniParty leaders have to relate to the events ‘in real time’ without the traditional poll-testing, asking the various lobbying special interests for constructs, or the ability to advance a constructed oppositional narrative. In essence, Trump’s high energy approach, based on American values and principles, creates consistently building momentum and opposition is always reacting.”

he’s doesn’t give the UniParty any time to ‘huddle up’ and construct their political oppositional talking points.
Indeed That’s his not so secret weapon thought out the who campaign too….President Trump doesn’t have to clear talking points with his donors before speaking / reacting… The Uniparty does. It creates a gap they can’t make up. Yay!
