Former President Donald Trump openly confessed his distaste for paying workers overtime at the Trump organization, even admitting he would replace those who spoke out against it. The Harris campaign seized on these comments immediately after Trump made them at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Despite using a proposal to end taxes on tips to showcase his support for workers, Trump revealed his negative feelings towards overtime, stating he would be better off if he hadn’t shared those thoughts. These revelations raised questions about his true intentions and credibility regarding worker welfare.
Trump’s remarks prompted the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign to criticize his history of mistreating workers, calling him a ‘scab’ and accusing him of deceiving voters with false promises. The campaign emphasized the importance of electing leaders who truly support and advocate for workers’ rights.
Trump’s rally also included disjointed attacks on his opponents, showcasing his erratic behavior and lack of focus on important issues. His unsubstantiated claims and personal attacks further called into question his credibility and suitability for leadership.
