'Gut punch': Steelworkers union stunned after Trump vows to scuttle international deal
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gut-punch-steelworkers-union-stunned-after-trump-vows-to-scuttle-international-deal/ar-AA1vdXyk

Donald Trump's stated intention to block the sale of U.S. Steel to the Japanese firm Nippon Steel Co. for $14.9 billion triggered howls of outrage, reported the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review — including from a number of steelworkers who backed Trump for president.

“I am very frustrated with the news that came out last night,” said United Steelworkers Local 2227 Vice President Jason Zugai in a D.C.-based panel discussion. “I didn’t expect that to come out. So that was like a gut punch.”

many steelworkers back the deal because they fear the U.S. steel industry will go into decline without the partnership and investment, costing their jobs in the long run.

The mayor of West Mifflin, Chris Kelly, who wants the deal to go through, "poked fun at Trump for not coming around to their side," according to the report.

"He said he has yet to hear from any national politician about a plan to invest in the Mon Valley plants if the deal with Nippon is blocked. 'Maybe he has concepts of a plan,' Kelly said about Trump, referencing an often-mocked line from Trump during the September debate with Vice President Kamala Harris when discussing health care."

Every time Trump tries to screw Americans over, I wonder how much money he made with the arrangement. Why would he hurt Americans for free?

Do you suppose he might want to keep US Steel as an American company? He's also against selling farmland to the Chinese.

"He's also against selling farmland to the Chinese."

Dont worry, RNB will rage against that too.

Mr Ranb, your excessive, unending hatred is only hurting you. I was very sad to have to grow up during twenty years of Presidents who championed abortion, but I spent those years praying and hoping for a kinder world. (Presidents Clinton, Obama, & Biden)

A wise man in my life said, "In order for our American Eagle to fly straight, both his left and right wings must be strong."

Many of my friends are disappointed in the election results, but most are moving forward and I am not indulging in any end zone, celebratory back flips that would harm our friendship.

I am feeling no pain at all every time I mock Trump. Why do you think I am hurting?

trump champions abortion also. Anyone who does not support a 100% abortion ban but allows someone like the states to make the choice is not pro-life. Anyone who does not oppose the death penalty or demand better care for babies and children to lower the death rate in this country is not pro-life. Trump sure as hell is not pro-life, at all.

The negativity in which you engage would take a toll on most. It would me. I doubt you are changing anyone's heart or mind.

Anyone who does not oppose the death penalty or demand better care for babies and children to lower the death rate in this country is not pro-life.

In order to get better child care or receive the death penalty, one must first be born.

Also, I do not support the death penalty. Womb to tomb life supporter here.

I do not see it as negativity at all. I am pouncing on an evil person and it makes me smile every time I do it.

Which politicians are you voting for that would make American health care more accessible to Americans instead of denying it to increase the profits of the medical industry?

[–] chilone (18338) 3 months ago

Then pounce on yourself...

[–] Ranb (11372) 3 months ago

Nay nay moose breathe. I pounce on the people I do not like. I very much like the person that I am.

[–] chilone (18338) 3 months ago

You're probably the only one.

Also:

a) You've never smelled a moose's breath.
b) You've never smelled my breath.
c) Name calling is childish.

[–] DonenWoods13 (597) 3 months ago

Ironic that you mention profits of the medical industry. The CEO who was shot in NYC was a proponent of preventative care. The big cats in the center ring do not like that approach; bad for profits.
From CBS News:
"Brian Thompson, a low-key CEO

For a top executive at a $562 billion company that affects how millions of Americans get health care, Thompson kept a relatively low profile. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined UnitedHealth's shift to "value-based care," paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy, rather than focusing on treating them when they get sick."

[–] Destinata (3565) 3 months ago

Have you seen Ranb be FOR anything? Seriously. I never have. As you say, he's relentlessly negative, whatever subject he's posting on. He must like someone other than himself.

[–] DonenWoods13 (597) 3 months ago

No, nothing positive that I have ever come across. But things have been very election-centric for a while here.
I believe it is 'himself' that he does not like. That typically induces such outward negativity.
Guilt over something maybe?

[–] Destinata (3565) 3 months ago

Oh, but he claims to "very much like the person that" he is.

Yeah. I think he doth protest too much, too. 😉

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1701) 3 months ago

Correct, it's Make America Great Again not Make Nippon Steel Co Great Again, well spotted, there's hope for you yet grasshopper.

[–] Ranb (11372) 3 months ago

More remorse here? Why are so many people thinking the leopards will not eat their faces? https://newrepublic.com/article/189054/trump-immigration-threats-republican-resistance
