Former President Donald Trump tore into Vice President Kamala Harris in his Labor Day message, Monday, claiming that “all Americans” were “suffering this holiday weekend” due to her “failed leadership.”
In a series of Truth Social posts, Trump wrote:
Happy Labor Day to all of our American Workers who represent the Shining Example of Hard Work and Ingenuity. Under Comrade Kamala Harris, all Americans are suffering during this Holiday weekend – High Gas Prices, Transportation Costs are up, and Grocery Prices are through the roof. We can’t keep living under this weak and failed “Leadership.”….
….In my First Term, we achieved Major Successes to protect American Workers by negotiating Free and Fair Trade Deals, passing the USMCA (U.S./Mexico/Canada), and giving Businesses and their Workers the tools to thrive. We also invested heavily in Education and Job Training programs for those who wish to expand upon their abilities, and be successful in an Industry that they love. We were an Economic Powerhouse, all because of the American Worker! But Kamala and Biden have undone all of that. When I return to the White House, we will continue upon our Successes by creating an Environment that ensures ALL Workers, and Businesses, have the opportunity to prosper and achieve their American Dream. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Harris did not mention Trump in her own Labor Day message, instead vowing to “always stand with workers” if elected president in November.
“On Labor Day, we honor workers, unions, and the entire labor movement fighting for fair wages, good benefits, and safer working conditions for all,” she wrote. “As President, I will always stand with workers, because when unions are strong, the middle class is strong. And when the middle class is strong, America is strong.”
In another social media post, Harris declared, “You may not be a union member, but thank unions for the five-day workweek. You may not be a union member, but thank unions for the eight-hour workday. You may not be a union member, but thank unions for sick leave, paid family leave, and vacation time.”
