Just trying to get a better deal from the democrats by appearing to be interested in someone else.
I have no doubt that rank and file teamsters and other blue collar union workers would endorse and vote for Trump.
However, the union leadership is almost universally leftists, as are both the leadership and rank-and-file members of the government, teacher, and services unions.
Trump doesn’t need the union leaders money or endorsements (in trade for supporting some of their goals) and should go over their heads and appeal to the patriotism and economic welfare of the blue collar workers themselves.
THAT’S a WINNING strategy.!
just maybe some of the unions get it that the Democrats of today unlike 30+ years ago are hard left wingers who have taxed their good jobs off to the orient and south of the border
