Empty Ports a ‘good thing’?

Can you believe the Longshoremen’s Union actually supported Donald Trump after he promised to slap massive tariffs on countries? Did they not realize that fewer ships at ports would mean fewer jobs for their union members? It’s like shooting yourself in the foot and then wondering why you can’t walk!

Chinese freight vessels are avoiding the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach like the plague, thanks to Trump’s tariffs. The trade war and recession fears are hitting major ports hard, with a significant drop in container vessel traffic. It’s like watching a sinking ship in slow motion.

Despite the obvious negative impact on jobs and the economy, Trump seems unfazed. When warned about the consequences for truckers and dock workers, he actually praised the downturn, claiming it means the country isn’t “losing money.” Because, you know, less ships from China is definitely a win in Trump’s book.

ILA President Harold Daggett must be thrilled with Trump now. I mean, who wouldn’t love a president who puts American working people last while claiming to be their greatest friend? With friends like Trump, who needs enemies, right?

The reality is crystal clear: these tariffs are not about putting ‘America First’ – they’re about putting American workers dead last. They’re a recipe for job losses, higher costs, and economic instability that will hit every corner of the country. But hey, at least we’re losing less money, right? Thanks, Trump!
