It still chaffes my ass that Drumpf ran as a friend of the working man while fighting tooth and nail to prevent his Vegas hotel from unionizing. I hope they keep fighting to unionize it.

I am in Vegas now. Without the wait staffs Vegas would not work.

2. Exactly! It's more concerning that they believed despite all the evidence to the contrary.

However a lot of unionized hotels and casinos do just fine:

Drumpf is a cold hearted bastard who would screw the working man into the ground to make a buck.

5. Trump is the exact opposite of his schtick during the campaign.

At the same time he was pulling his bullshit "everyman" routine, he was getting visas to bring in overseas workers for Mar-a-Lago. If he can figure out a way rich people can own slaves again, I'm sure he'll pursue it.

10. Utterly appalling I know

They trust a con man and a billionaire. Well I'm afraid unless we defeat the Repuublicons utterly like Nazi's we won't have a real country. A great depression should do it. I don't want that-I need retirement money and college money for my kids in the next decade. But I don't know how else anybody learns but by being utterly destroyed by the thing they think will save them. Hatred of Mexicans and Muslims isn't going to get you a job. Hatred of education and science isn't going to make the world better. Until we KILL these toxic ideas America won't get better.

Just like to continually point that out, to all of those small businesspersons who supported him . . .

12. And then he appoints a labor secretary who thinks workers are worthless.

And wants them replaced with machines because - and I'm quoting - "it costs less". If you are stupid enough to buy that bullshit, I'm guessing Trump fans will buy anything.
