Trump hits 'foolish' firefighter union president after group backs Biden

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/442093-trump-hits-foolish-firefighter-union-president-after-group-backs-biden


President Trump escalated his fight with the International Association of Fire Fighters on Friday, days after it announced its endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Trump called the group's leader, Harold Schaitberger, "foolish" and suggested the firefighters union would vote him out of office.

“The International Association of Firefighters Union is rebelling on their very foolish leader. Perhaps they will vote him out of office. He doesn’t get it!” Trump tweeted Friday.

The tweet linked back to a Facebook page titled “IAFF Union Firefighters for Trump,” that was created Monday.

Trump keeps signaling just how afraid he is of Biden.

It seems that the International Association of Firefighters Union backing Biden has really gotten under Trump's skin. The Union stayed on the sidelines of the 2016 race and didn't endorse him then either.

they certainly won't ever support rump being the idiot that he is being now to the Firefighters Union. And I wouldn't blame them either one bit.
