The Teamsters’ political committee has donated $45,000 to the Republican National Committee for the first time in 20 years, according to a report.
The donation came the same day former President Donald Trump met with the Teamsters’ leadership for the second time in January, according to the Washington Post, which reported the donation on Wednesday.
Although the powerful organized labor group has historically supported Democrats — it sent the Democratic National Committee $135,000 in December as well as $15,000 in March 2023 — the donation to the RNC is the first one since it last donated $15,000 in 2004, according to the paper.

Trump needs every nickel he can get. Why is he out launching sneaker brands when his fundraising is in the toilet?
I think that sneaker thing had a fundraising Element to it. (But am not sure.)
“Why is he out launching sneaker brands when his fundraising is in the toilet?”
Sort of answers your own question.
I can see the sneakers raising a lot of money. And they are a business, not a campaign donation so a way to work around the rules.
The Teamsters backed Ronald Reagan in 1980.
they’re just hedging their bets ... still, it’s interesting that they feel the need to hedge ...
Two simple,undeniable,facts:
Today’s Rat Party is the party of the rich,showbiz types,academia,perverts,government paycheck recipients and wetbacks.
Today’s Republican Party is the party of the middle class and working class.

Agreed. And while the union leadership is still solidly blue, the rank and file is a different story, I’m sure.
I love this video from 2016:

It's funny to realize that the Teamsters are smarter than the Freeptards, given that they know they are NOT going to vote for a dementia-ridden, drooling, pooping puppet-state Bidendropov, they know their friends are NOT going to vote for a dementia-ridden, drooling, pooping puppet-state Bidendropov, and that paradigm alone delivers a 2016 map, and if Youngkin is the VP candidate as I expect, also Virginia. Game over.
