This will be, because of him, a very important date as the years go by! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113657849578219548 Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - Dennis A. Daggett: Dear Brothers and Sisters, I had the honor of meeting with President-elect Donald Trump yesterday, and I want to share an experience I never imagined in my wildest dreams. Throughout my career, I’ve never seen a politician—let alone the President of the United States—truly understand the importance of the work our members do every single day. But yesterday, President-elect Trump not only demonstrated that understanding but also showed the utmost respect for the hard work, sacrifices, and dedication of our membership. He was not just attentive to our concerns; he was receptive and genuinely engaged in a discussion about the existential threat automation poses—not only to the Longshore sector but to our communities and the very fabric of this great nation. It’s rare to meet a leader who truly listens, and even rarer to find one who is willing to act. Let’s put politics aside for a moment, as I know it can be challenging for some to grasp. But I witnessed something extraordinary firsthand—this man truly wants to fight for America and its working class. In over 25 years of working in Washington, I have never seen a Republican take up the mantle for working-class people. President-elect Trump proved me wrong yesterday. He didn’t just tell us in private that he supports workers—he made it clear to the whole world. As we move forward, let us focus on the opportunities ahead. I will continue to fight for your jobs, our communities, and the future of the working class in this country. In solidarity, Dennis A. Daggett Executive Vice President International Longshoremen’s Association https://www.facebook.com/dennis.daggett.3/posts/10234293195301677 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113654031386174669 Donald J.
