Man of the working people, "I wouldn't pay overtime"

Not sure if it was at a rally this afternoon, and not linking to the clip on X where I saw it. But Trump’s quote was, “I know a lot about overtime, I hated giving overtime, I hated it….id get other people in and I shouldn’t say this but I would t pay them. I hated it”.
If this isn’t in an ad tomorrow someone in the Harris campaign isn’t doing their job. What a POS he is.

He wont pay overtime because he won’t pay at all. Ask all the tradespeople whose businesses he ripped off in his failed casino projects.

If they got paid at all, they were lucky. Those guys got pennies on the dollar.

He even tried to stiff Barbara Corcoran.

He is a deadbeat. Always has been. Not because he ran into trouble and can’t pay, but rather because he enjoys stiffing people. He even calls it “smart business.”

...supporting a politician like Trump that rips off honest wage earners, and by extension, their wives and children--and does so repeatedly, flagrantly, and unrepentantly!

Maybe those radtrad Catholic Trump fans in particular should consult their own Catechism.

[1867] The catechetical tradition also recalls that there are "sins that cry to Heaven" : the blood of Abel, the sin of the Sodomites, the cry of the people oppressed in Egypt, the cry of the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan, injustice to the wage earner.

For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” (1 Timothy 5:18)
