1.1 Million Laid Off; Trump's 'Jobs President' Promise Destroyed - The Logical Leftist
1.1 MILLION Americans got laid off in 2025 - while corporations posted RECORD PROFITS and paid CEOs millions. This is what happens when you vote for a "businessman" and expect him to care about working people.
Trump promised to be the "greatest jobs president God ever created." Instead, we got recession-level layoffs while companies like Amazon made $35 BILLION in profit and still fired 14,000 workers.
In this video, I expose:
• The 1.1 million layoff crisis hitting America right now
• Amazon: $35B profit, $40M CEO pay, 14,000 workers fired
• UPS: 48,000 jobs cut while executive bonuses go UP 14%
• 300,000 federal workers getting fired (including Trump voters)
• How corporate tax cuts were supposed to "create jobs" - they didn't
• Why Trump's "jobs president" promise was always a lie
This is class warfare, plain and simple. Corporations got everything they wanted from Trump - tax cuts, deregulation, tariffs - and they used it to fire over a million people while getting richer.
If you voted for Trump because you thought he'd fight for workers? 1.1 million laid-off Americans would like a word.
