The case for America First has never been stronger.

In the aftermath of two historic hurricanes, Helen and Milton, former President Donald Trump has appealed to more conservative people as well as centrists and others who are tired of American politicians selling out the country. It has an opportunity to gain support from independent voters. But to do so, Trump will need to acknowledge two realities. One is that it is not as pro-Union as the Republicans claim.

Republicans have long held a big-picture platform: putting America and its workers first. Yet they still passed a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, which House Republicans also recently passed. submitted a bill The move would give the federal government more power to crush unions after thousands of longshoremen on the East Coast went on strike in early October.

Republicans have remained largely silent about the historic longshoremen’s strike, otherwise harshly criticizing union president Harold Daggett’s nearly seven-figure salary and calling out foreign companies for exploiting American workers. He had not preserved any of his bitter feelings. But not Trump. Mr. Trump’s achievements are great. came out strong For the workers.

“American workers should be able to negotiate for better wages, especially since most of the shipping companies are foreign-flagged vessels, including ONE, the largest consortium,” the former president said.
