Trump is a completely orthodox Republican on the issue of organized labor; he believes it shouldn’t exist. In spite of that, he enjoys the support of a surprisingly large percentage of American workers. How is that possible?
Because he has succeeded in persuading them that their primary adversaries are not their employers; instead, foreigners, illegal immigrants, and a hapless federal government are to blame for their stagnant wages.
How long will this last? Until the tariff and deportation scheme is proven in the public’s eyes to be a failure.
