Trump is ‘obsessed’ with seeming pro-worker – but his actions suggest otherwise
The Guardian • 10/11/2025 • Last cited 10/21/2025
Summary
Donald Trump's recent comments regarding the ongoing government shutdown suggest a focus on pro-worker rhetoric, but critics argue that his administration's policies are negatively impacting sectors like agriculture, leading to unpaid leave and mass firings, according to The Guardian. The shutdown, which began on October 1, 2025, reflects a stalemate between Democrats and Republicans over funding priorities.
