Union Challenge

Let me give you some insight to what I say when I speak to union workers who are leaning or supporting Trump.

"Don't be fooled by his con game. What he says now is not what he's said or done over the last 25 years. I challenge anyone here to produce a authenticated, single public statement from Donald Trump against any trade deal prior to his announcement for President in June of 2015. If you can produce that proof, I will give you a check for $1,000. I'm confident you will not find that proof. In fact, all you'll find is Trump's exploitation of those trade deals by making things overseas. Ties in China, picture frames in India and suits in Mexico, those are just some of the products he's made outside this country. Come on, you folks get it. You're not that gullible. Anyone can tell you now that they're opposed to trade deals or he was against the war. Where was he when it counted? Let me put it this way, if I could find a bookie that would let me bet the Sunday football games on the following Monday, you wouldn't believe what a genius I'd look like. No bookie would let me get away with that and you shouldn't let this con man take advantage of you."
