No one should be allowed to use our lobby , our podium with our flag behind them to do a press conference. Maybe if he ( or she ) had our endorsement and our president in attendance. It certainly looked as though we had endorsed him .

It looked terrible, O'Brien is not a bright individual, he got played by the orange orangutan. He is killing our credibility allowing Trump to use our building to have another incoherant rally/conference. What an absolute fool.

I agree completely! It is so disrespectful to our union, our building, and the entire labor movement to even entertain the idea of meeting with this anti worker clown. No matter who gets the endorsement, the damage has been done. OBrien gave Trump our building to use as a platform to move his agenda and the majority of the GEB stood silent. The idea that we need to hear from all candidates is complete bullshit. Trump had 4 years to show us how he was going to help workers and organized labor, instead he did just the opposite and tried to tear us down.

Pictures of Trump behind a Teamster podium are all over. I just saw another on Yahoo news. People support him for a lot of reasons but if strong unions are important to any member there is no way you can support Trump. Those pics are going to haunt us for a long time. This was a very stupid publicity stunt gone bad.

Whoever is advising SOB is horrible. What is the endgame that SOB wants to play. He wants to stay relevant. I am glad he is getting criticized.
