Somehow his supporters will believe he only means no overtime pay for black people, not good patriots like them.

I despise Trump. I want him to lose. This kind of “journalism” needs to die so that the real stories about him don’t get buried by half truths and lies. Trump says enough shitty, faschist things that we don’t need to twist his words like this.

Trump said that he hates paying people overtime so, if they’re getting close to overtime, he brings other people in. He does what every business does and implements shifts. He didn’t say that he screws people out of overtime pay for time they worked. He avoids overtime pay by bringing in a new shift of workers.

How often Trump stiffs his employees and contractors for real is a good story. This story is essentially a lie that attempts to portray Trump badly but really only makes “the left” look bad.

Don’t lie and ruin the credibility of left-leaning media. Use the real ammo that Trump drops like bread crumbs everywhere he goes.

It could definitely could be interpreted that way. Liberals are so out of touch they don’t realize that that’s the point of overtime. To make employers hire more people instead of just pushing their current staff more and more.

Him screwing over workers IS journalism that works against him. His bullshit “man of the people” shtick and trying to reform the GOP as pro-labor is in direct contrast to him screwing people over.

Christ, you need to take a break.

I know that he does screw over employees, but how is that the case in this circumstance? He is sending workers home before they hit overtime and bringing in a different shift of workers. Every business does that. Every business attempts to minimize the amount of overtime that they pay. In fact, that’s the point of overtime laws, to disincentivize working employees too many hours.

I’m not defending him as a person. I’m saying this is shitty journalism that just gives him something additional to point at when he says that the media lies about him. We shouldn’t be giving him that ammo.

The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the national trade union center known as AFL-CIO, said in response, “This isn’t a gaffe and he didn’t just misspeak — Trump said this in Michigan on Friday and Pennsylvania today. Trump cut overtime for millions of Americans as President — and his Project 2025 agenda will do it again.”

That says it all. It’s right there in the article. Now, if you’re saying its “totally legal, and totally cool” what he’s doing and admitting to, then that’s your own opinion. A fuck ton of other absolutely hate it and think it’s bullshit, which validates this reporting being out there.

He has done it for so long he really thinks that is what you are supposed to do. I was completely done with him when I read what he did to the people who built that casino all those years ago. He ruined lives and never once has he thought or cared about it. Its not something he is capable of.
