AFL-CIO, United Steel Workers Praise Trump for Tariffs They Couldn’t Get Dems to Impose

Two major union leaders praised President Donald Trump for imposing steel tariffs that they’ve been trying – unsuccessfully - “for decades” to get from Democrats. Both United Steel Workers President Leo Gerard and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka took to MSNBC Wednesday to tout the tariffs and deride the Democrats.

"What he did is what we’ve been fighting for for more than 30 years," Gerard said. "What makes me sad is we’ve been trying to get Democrats to do this for more than 30 years." "Donald Trump was able to see the steel worker agenda," Gerard said, adding that "It’s going to make it very hard for our members to ignore what he just did."

"We’ve been advocating for the use of tariffs to make sure that cheaters stop cheating for over a decade right now," Trumka said in his appearance.

Dumbocrats are about illegals and nutcase fringe groups
