On Wednesday, Donald Trump met with New York union leader Bobby Bartels.

As the head of Steamfitters Local 638, Bartels said his fellow working-class, blue-collar union members were leaning heavily towards Trump in the presidential election.


Traditionally, union members have voted more heavily for Democrats. This time, Trump’s stand on issues like immigration, crime, and taxes are primary motivators.

Bartels had a few words after the meeting as well, telling Newsmax’s Addison Smith that he feels like over the last four years that the Democratic Party has “basically pushed everybody to the other side.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
