Trump

         - During the debate, Trump was unable to articulate a coherent plan to help Americans get ahead.

         - He put union busters in charge of the National Labor Relations Board. 

         - His Department of Labor (DOL) derailed the Obama-Biden Department of Labor’s overtime rule, blocking millions of workers from a full paycheck.
