Fuck Biden, but I can understand why a union member would think he’s pro labor. His reputation doesn’t really involve labor in either way. But, before Trump was president, the number 1 reason why people liked him because he was a piece of shit who cheats, cons, and lies. He was the people’s asshole because his whole demeanor was cartoonish enough for people to not believe he was a real human being. Why would you believe someone with this reputation will help you lmao

Because Trump still says reasonable things once in a while that is not completely detached from reality. The bar is that low. Desperate people will believe in anything.

It’s the same reason why many people in China and Russia like Trump, because once in a while he says stuff like this (there is even a tag that says this clip was the 12th most popular video on Bilibili at one point).

I thought the majority of Chinese people who like Trump because he’s an idiot who tries to punish China but ultimately fails and benefits China instead
