I am going to keep our jobs in the U.S., and totally rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Crooked Hillary has no clue! @Teamsters

I am honored that the great men and women of the @Teamsters have created a movement from within called Teamsters for Trump! Thank you.

The union has not made an endorsement in the election so far, but typically backs Democratic candidates.

Trump appeared to be referring to a series of "Teamsters for Trump" groups on Facebook, several of which has members numbering in the thousands.

NPR reported this week on Teamsters member who normally back Democrats but prefer Trump this election.

Is Trump going to mention how he's spent the last year or so in court trying to prevent the staff of is Las Vegas casino from unionizing?  It'd be kind of interesting to hear him explain how the Teamsters Union is good but the Culinary Workers Union is baaad...eeeevil.
