Nothing really makes sense in the Trump era, and I'm trying to wrap my head around what's going on with labor unions and the Democrats, and it's just really confusing.

Now let's start here. Far left protesters and the Democrats far left push.

Why is it that these protesters in Antifa that claim to represent the working class tend to be privileged elites, who make over $100,000 a year have college degrees and come from the suburbs?

That's not exactly what you would expect a union member to look like. In fact, they don't, and I had the data to show this.

Since 2016, we have seen a push to Trump, to Trump's policies from unions. Now let's be real. Democrats still enjoy a ton, if not the overwhelming majority of union support, especially when it comes to financial contributions.

Unions overwhelmingly give to Democrats, but it's starting to change. The unions haven't made an endorsement yet. They've pushed back on the Green New Deal, and now Trump is actually arguing with the head of the AFL CIO because they're actually considering supporting him.

I don't understand what's happening, but it seems to be a weird dramatic shift. Antifa, which claims to be communist, is siding with the establishment elites.

I mean, they are privileged elites, they're not union members. We have this story from last year where actual construction workers came out and protested against the far left.

I don't know what's going on, and I'll admit, I've tried recording this video now several times because it's just so confusing. Who represents labor? Well, I'd have to say the actual unions, but something weird is happening in swing states.

I've got a bunch of data to back this up from Axios, unions shrink fast in swing states. So not only are unions losing power, but they're not necessarily getting behind Democrats either. Look at this story. From the New York Times, some labor unions are holding back on 2020 endorsements and Democrats are desperate. So here's what we're going to do.

Let's go through all the latest news at his Labor Day weekend, and we're going to start with the feud between Trump and the head of the AFL CIO, which I admit, it actually sounds like kind of a good thing because even if they're fighting and the union won't get behind Trump, it sounds like they might not get behind the Democrats either.

So let's start here with the Hill, but before we do, head over to Timcast.com slash donate if you'd like to support my work as a PayPal option, a crypto option, a physical address.

Yes, from me and they prop up CNN and MSNBC in Fox News. So if you like what I do, please consider liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing. But let's read from the Hill, they say President Trump on Monday, lashed out at American Federation.

American Federation of Labor and Congress of industrial organizations president Richard Trump, a day after the Labor Union leader criticized Trump's trade deal in a Fox News interview. Trump in a Labor Day morning tweet claimed that Trump doesn't share the same critique of Trump's trade deal when he is with me at the White House.

Now Trump may be, I don't know, maybe Trump's making it up. You're going to find a lot of people on the left saying I doubt this is true, but what Trump is saying is in private. The AFL CIO is praising what he's doing, but publicly he's kind of wishy-washy. Trump tweeted,

just watched AFL CIO president Richard Trump on Fox News and thought to myself how different he is on TV than he is when he is when he is with me at the White House.

Like what we are doing until the cameras go on. We got robbed on trade and everything else while his dems just sat back and watched. NAFTA is the worst trade deal ever made, a terrible for labor, and Richard let it stand. No wonder unions are losing so much. The workers will vote for me in 2020, lowest unemployment most jobs ever,

and should stop paying exorbitant dues not worth it. It's interesting. Trump said that the new trade agreement with Mexico, it's the USMCA, is unenforceable. He criticized Trump's handling of China. One country can't take on China, he said.

The White House and Trump have pushed back on claims that the tariffs on Chinese goods will hurt consumers or farmers arguing that it will impact only China. Now, okay, let's stop here.

The story is really, really complicated. But what's interesting is that this is coming around a time where the unions aren't getting behind Democrats, they're not endorsing anybody.

I think the Democrats are fractured in a very terrifying way, I've made numerous videos about it. But the most important issue is that when it comes to the Green New Deal, the unions are split.

This far left ideological push has actually pitted them against the AFL, CIO, and other unions. Now, what I find truly fascinating here is that when you look at top organization contributions, unions are always giving to Democrats.

Admittedly, the President isn't the most important position when it comes to who you're giving to. There's a lot of local level, there's Congress positions, there's the Senate. So yeah, they're going to be giving to lower level politicians and not necessarily presidential candidates.
