Trump Claims to be Steel Worker

snip:
Donald Trump stomped into my backyard just days before July 4 and claimed to be a steelworker.

That’s right. The billionaire, whose manicured little hands routinely slip into lambskin golf gloves but never once donned heavy-duty work mitts, actually claimed to be a steelworker.

Headline should read Trump Steals From Workers

1. Monessen hasn't had a steel industry in thirty years

and they don't want one. They want to modernize and expand the city all the way to the river. They are trying to attract artists. Mostly they want to demolish the old industrial structures on the riverfront and have that real estate with a lovely view to attract new businesses.

2. Looking for offense.

"Our jobs", "our country."

At least he at no point said, "Ich bin einer Stahlarbeiter."

But making claims that we're supposed to be offended at puerile attempts at showing solidarity linguistically? Getting bent out of shape when, as other do, he refers to voters as "his"? Meh. Puerile meets puerile.

Better that than divisive "we the people ... but that doesn't include you, bub." Saw that this little bit of exclusionary rhetoric has crossed the party line and picked up by the Palin.
