    “For months, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, the two wealthiest men alive,” said Sanders, “have been working overtime to abolish the NLRB. Why is that? These notorious anti-union billionaires want the absolute power to exploit their workers and violate labor law. The lower the wages they pay, the more money they make. Since Election Day, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have become $184 billion richer and are now worth $669 billion. But, apparently, that’s not enough.”

    At least the robber-barons a century ago had the good taste to pretend to be virtuous by building libraries and starting foundations for the public good. These guys have not a bone in their bodies that tells them to do anything other than acquire more.

      I’m not sure I believe this bone theory of yours but it warrants further consideration imo. We should examine their bones more closely in an effort to discover this supposed defect.

    NLRB = National Labor Relations Board

    Trump loves the working class, in fact he is completely dependent on them.
    He loves them so much, he’d prefer if it was cheaper to hire them to wipe his ass and make money for him.

    So when Trump says he loves the working class, he is not lying, it’s just not the kind of love you’d want. Because what he loves is to exploit them.

    Anyone listening to Bernie Sanders already knows Trump is the enemy of everyone except Donald Trump. He despises everyone as being below him and covets everything anyone has.

    Uh, Mr. Sanders, did you consider that the working class loves using slurs at work?
