Donald Trump's War with America's Unions Will Not End Well

"The latest news from Camp Runamuck is that the president-elect heard that an official of a steelworkers local in Indiana had bad-mouthed his miraculous rescue, for the time being, of 750 jobs. The official, Chuck Jones, said Trump had "lied his ass off" concerning the deal. (Probably a metaphor since, if it were true, and you actually could lie your ass off, the president-elect would have been ass-less since junior high. We continue.) Despite being obviously overwhelmed by the awesome responsibilities of the job he is about to undertake, El Caudillo del Mar-A-Lago fought his way back to the electric Twitter machine to respond, because that's what you do when you're president-elect and, somewhere out in the country, somebody fails to appreciate your genius in the proper manner. Intelligence briefings can wait, dammit."
