Donald Trump responded to the AFL-CIO’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton with a statement of pure insanity.
In a statement Trump said:
I believe their members will be voting for me in much larger numbers than for her.
Hillary Clinton and her husband have made hundreds of millions of dollars doing favors and selling access to Wall Street, special interests and oppressive foreign regimes. As Bernie Sanders said, “Why, over her political career, has Wall Street been the major campaign contributor to Hillary Clinton?†They own Hillary Clinton and she will do whatever they tell her to.

Bernie Sanders is also 100% correct when he says that Hillary Clinton “vote[d] for virtually every trade agreement that has cost the workers of this country millions of jobs.†Hillary supported NAFTA and she supported the trade deal with China, Vietnam, South Korea – and if elected will implement the TPP she loves so much – guaranteed.
While Secretary of State,’Hillary Clinton racked up a $1 trillion trade deficit with China – all while China was funneling a small fortune to Hillary via speaking fees paid to Bill.
On immigration, Hillary Clinton sides with Wall Street too. Bernie Sanders correctly warned that open borders “would substantially lower wages in this country,†and yet Hillary has put forward a plan that would completely open America’s borders in her first 100 days in office.
On energy, Hillary Clinton wants to shut down the coal mines, block the Keystone pipeline, and destroy millions of good union jobs through executive action.
Her massive proposed increase in taxes and regulations will also send millions of jobs overseas.
Hillary Clinton will economically destroy poor communities, African-American and Hispanic workers on trade, immigration, crime, energy, taxes, regulation and everything else.
Finally, union workers have long believed in having an open and free society. Yet Hillary takes money from regimes that support the murder of gays and the enslavement of women while pushing to bring people into America who want to do the exact same thing to our people. I only want to bring people into our country who will love and support everyone.
Hillary Clinton is the enemy of working people and is the best friend Wall Street ever had. I will fight harder for American workers than anyone ever has, and I will fight for their right to elect leaders who will do the same. I will be a president for ALL Americans.
Donald Trump really believes that American workers will vote for him. Any evidence to the contrary provokes a total break from reality.
Everything that Trump said in his statement was nothing more than gibberish, lies, and conspiracy theories. Yesterday, Donald Trump called all of the polls that are showing him losing phony. Today, endorsements mean nothing.
Trump followed up his belief that the polls are all lies, by telling the president of the nation’s largest union that he is wrong about who his own members will support.
Republicans have a crazy egomaniac running their party. Trump is checked out from reality, and his insanity is only growing with each passing day.
