#1 I'm not sure how this rhetoric matches up with the reality of the economic numbers since Trump's been in office. Oh, that's right - it doesn't! This is meant more for general consumption than anything else, one of those pro forma 'what else am I gonna say - I'm the head of a union!' statements.

#2 Given that lots of Trump’s voters in 2016 were union members, I suspect you are right, Raj.

#6 As a child, did you ever wonder where Santa Claus got all the toys or the supplies to build the toys?
Ever wonder about his delivery system? If so, you probably didn't put too much thought into it.
People who think the government should be Santa Claus still don't.

#7 I suppose working is more dangerous than sitting at home on benefits.

#8 Right-to-work and voluntary dues will kill the corrupt unions

And that's where the unions are spending their member's hard-earned dues money now, to combat the RTW and 'optional' dues legislation initiatives.

These would really cook the giverment unions.

#9 Government Unions incentivise systemic corruption. They are now a Player in the Political Game instead of acting as a Neutral Party. Judges can recuse themselves, how do you recuse every single staffer and secretary in the legal system if they are all members of one organization?

#12 He's just trying to push back against the Trumpenproletariat.
