Orange Fuckface bashes Carrier union boss on twitter

Here's Glorious Leader's latest tweet:

Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!


What a petty, vindictive asshole! The thought of him succeeding President Obama is so nauseating.

If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana. Spend more time working-less time talking. Reduce dues

Financial consequences for criticizing the government (him, his policies). Herr Gropenfurher doesn't believe in the First Amendment and what it means to a democracy.

in incur his criticism, hostility, or a direct financial assault. Trump wants to control public speech. No more First Amendment.

the more he's ridiculed. He wants unflattering pictures of himself taken off the internet. In my opinion that would be all of them. What happens? Hundreds of new ones pop up.

several million twitter users harassed him. It would be so overwhelming, I'm not sure what he thinks he could do about it.

No he can't control public speech. But he can bully and intimidate some people if they are connected via govt contracts, like the Boeing ceo. Trump has shown that he intends to bully people who criticize him using the power of the presidency. And that's not healthy for democracy.

I guess the steelworkers union is the reason he uses Chinese steel in his buildings, wonder which union leader caused Trump to take his clothing lines to China. Clueless.

stabbing people in the back. As a old Teamster,seen a lot of this garbage,but when a elected Politician uses me as a Stage Prop and sinks the knife,well I made damn sure every Brother or Sister was made aware of it and pledge they will never support that Person again. Nixon was a crook,Reagan was a liar and many of my fellow Brothers and Sisters were harmed to no end.
