Trump Goes Retweet Crazy against Biden and Firefighters Union. NY Post:

https://nypost.com/2019/05/01/trump-goes-retweet-crazy-against-biden-firefighters-union/

President Trump retweeted about 60 tweets in less than 20 minutes Wednesday, including one from a “F–k Donald Trump” account, almost all in response to Joe Biden’s endorsement by the firefighters union.

The president has railed at the International Association of Fire Fighters this week, claiming it will unfairly “always support Democrats.”

“The Dues Sucking firefighters leadership will always support Democrats, even though the membership wants me,” he tweeted Monday. “Some things never change!”

His broadside came hours after the IAFF endorsed the former vice president in his quest for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

On Wednesday, he went on a retweeting tear in which he shared messages of supporters lashing out at the union.

Comment: 60 tweets in less than 20 minutes? Is that all Trump has to do? Doesn't he have an important job? People need proof that Trump is not qualified to do that job, and this is it. 60 tweets in an hour? Wednesday morning? There is the proof that Trump needs to be impeached and removed as soon as possible.

Democrats support workers and their efforts to better wages and rights.

Republicans do not.

and Repubs have been destroying unions ever since, which has lessened their clout at the ballot box.

Unions have been making a minor comeback lately, though, as people start to realize the reality of what you're saying.

president of the US, of which of course.

No wonder he's declared bankruptcy so many times. What a joke.
