The IRONY of a "President" who has stiffed legions of workers making a "Labor Day Statement"

I can picture him, waving his arms, making that annoying fucking thumb-and-forefinger "OK" sign, saying "And nothing is more important than the American WORK-uh, because it is their LAY-buh that is making America great again."

Or something to that effect.

Instead of cupping the other fingers and holding them together a bit sideways to give the impression of a "k", the hand is held in a way with the other fingers spread so that a "w" is created, and the circled thumb and index finger is the top circle of the "p".

The constant use of that sign instead of just using it as a way of highlighting a discussion about how everything is "okay" is a major tell that he's using dog-whistles or trying to connect with his base.
