President Donald Trump celebrated his economic achievements and ongoing trade negotiations with Canada while beginning his Labor Day.
“Happy Labor Day! Our country is doing better than ever before with unemployment setting record lows,” Trump tweeted. “The U.S. has tremendous upside potential as we go about fixing some of the worst Trade Deals ever made by any country in the world. Big progress being made!”
“The Worker in America is doing better than ever before,” he continued. “Celebrate Labor Day!”

“Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO, represented his union poorly on television this weekend,” Trump tweeted. “Some of the things he said were so againt the working men and women of our country, and the success of the U.S. itself, that it is easy to see why unions are doing so poorly. A Dem!
