Summary
Trump announced plans to block Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel, drawing backlash from many steelworkers who previously supported him.
While some, including United Steelworkers president David McCall, oppose the deal over concerns about job security and unfulfilled promises, others fear blocking it could harm the struggling U.S. steel industry.
Trump’s stance has been criticized as a “gut punch” by union leaders like Jason Zugai, who had expected him to support the deal after the election.
Critics argue Trump has offered no alternative plan to invest in U.S. steel plants if the deal is blocked.
Something something face eating leopards.
I see this being a common theme over the next year. Trump supporters shocked when policy changes impact them negatively.
He’s hurting the wrong people.
There will still be a core of them that will continue to find creative ways to blame Democrats. Anything to avoid taking personal responsibility and admitting they were wrong about something that they made such an integral aspect of their life.
This is very true I live in red area of a red state and a common theme is a Democrat leader is immediately blamed for all problems upon taking office yet when it’s a Republican “you have to give them time to fix the problems”. I wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans are still blaming Democrats for problems at the midterm elections.
I, for one, would like to congratulate the Leopards for being the number one mentioned animal for 2025.
I’d also like to congratulate all those who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party. May you all get exactly what you’ve wanted from the party!
You joke but I’m legitimately concern about the ensuing leopard obesity pandemic.
I’ve heard that over 50% of American leopards are now morbidly obese.
Unfortunately, there will be lots of collateral damage. Including children that did not choose to be born in shithole states that don’t think they should exist.
