Amazing to watch politicians wake up - like it’s some huge revelation - that maybe we shouldn’t have sold out American manufacturing over the years for quick corporate bucks after all. Turns out doing right by the American worker would’ve been the smart thing after all, huh guys?

Yes, he did say that. Yet his policies as president have been totally in contradiction to that kind of viewpoint.

His signature economic policy was the 2017 $2 trillion tax cut in which $.83 of every dollar went to the richest corporations & individuals. While the middle class part of it was good, 83% of it only served the very wealthiest and in no way trickles down. That’s how he operates.

Just to clarify the richest 5% pay greater than 85% of the taxes, would you give average people “negative” money?

It did not. He used that as an excuse but there’s no way he really thought that it would.

He is like someone who thinks they should treat the serfs a little better. He gives a little bit with his left hand while with his right hand he increasingly does things that make it harder and harder for the average American.
