(12,882 posts)A LOT of those who voted for Musso.... er, Trump, did so because they were tired of empty promises. The "Hope" that was dangled on the end of a stick was as tangible as a handful of fog. The Change they ended up with was the few coins in their pockets after working two jobs every week. And don't tell me about being hamstrung by congress. I'm fairly certain there's no laws against the POTUS joining in with strikers.
Maybe the blame could be laid at the feet of American brand shoemakers. I say this because they were obviously UNable to produce a pair of shoes that our president could be comfortable wearing while standing up for the besieged labor unions in this country. If only picket liners had a few images of their president holding up a sign with them. But their HOPE of that was never fulfilled and if their plight changed at all, it wasn't for the better. The "SOS" that went out was not heard amongst the longshoremen and their ilk. They were too busy docking the Pirate ship were gonna swear in (and at) next month.
