In a move that raises red flags for Democrats about their almost always-reliable support from unions, the Teamsters have made a significant donation this year to the Republican National Committee’s convention fund.
It is at that convention that President Donald Trump likely will be named the party’s 2024 presidential nominee.
A report in Axios calls the union “one of America’s most powerful labor unions” and confirmed it has donated $45,000 to that convention fund.
The report noted it “matters” because it comes as “Trump and President Biden vie for blue collar support in key swing states…”
The report noted it’s not yet an “endorsement,” but “it’s a powerful statement from a union that’s supported every Democratic presidential nominee since Al Gore.”
Actually, the Washington Post said it was the first major Teamster donation to the RCN since 2004.
The union said the check was issued a month ago and “will be sent soon.”
The contribution apparently came about shortly after Trump met with Teamsters president Sean O’Brien behind closed doors.
At the time, Trump explained it was a “very strong meeting.”
The report said the Teamsters also donated $45,000 to the Democrats’ convention fund.
A commentary at ZeroHedge said, “This move has sparked huge concern that unions are losing faith in President Biden, lauded as the most pro-union president ever.”
It explained the union represents about 1.3 million UPS and other transportation workers.
It noted, “Biden has frequently touted his strong ties with labor unions. However, the president’s failed economic policies, known as ‘Bidenomics,’ have crushed the working class under the weight of inflation.”
In fact, inflation has surged more than 17% since Biden took office, mortgage rates are at their highest in years, and critical consumer goods, food and gasoline, have created budget issues for millions of Americans.
WND SPECIAL REPORT – “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS”: From the Biden administration’s enthusiastic support for amputating body parts of troubled children, to its obsession with bringing as many millions of illegal aliens, terrorists and Chinese soldiers as possible into America, it is increasingly clear that many of this nation’s current leaders are, to put it plainly, stark raving mad.
Indeed, psychiatric experts are finally documenting how the symptom profiles of scary conditions like “Borderline Personality Disorder” and “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” PERFECTLY MATCH today’s top leaders.
One groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in 2023 documents how left-wing extremism is closely associated with “psychopathic tendencies.” Likewise, retired psychiatrist Brad Lyles, M.D., explains how “one way of understanding the increasingly outlandish beliefs and behaviors of the left is through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder.” And one of America’s top forensic psychiatrists, Lyle Rossiter, M.D., described Barack Obama’s mental state as “Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
Consider a typical description of sociopathy: “Sociopaths are often well-liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments.” Remind you of anyone?
From Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to their presidential Cabinet – including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra – all of these people “have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly.”
But it’s not just Democrat leaders. Multiple surveys now show how rank-and-file Democrats are TWICE as likely to be diagnosed with a mental disorder as Republicans – from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia to narcissistic personality disorder. All this and much more is stunningly laid out in the March edition of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS.” Don’t miss it – you will see the whole political-cultural-spiritual war raging in the U.S.A. in a whole new light.
