Trump has a history of treating workers poorly for decades. He has been known to exploit labor from those that might not want to talk with Immigration, paying pennies on the dollar, or just straight out refusing to pay them and threatening counter-lawsuits if they try to use the courts to recover any money. When he did his feed with Elon he gave Elon praise for firing workers on strike.
“You’re the greatest cutter,” Trump told Musk. “I look at what you do. You walk in and say, ‘You want to quit?’ I won’t mention the name of the company but they go on strike and you say, ’That’s OK. You’re all gone.'”
Musk said, “Yeah,” and laughed while Trump was talking.
In June, eight former workers at SpaceX, Musk’s rocket company, sued the company and Musk, alleging he ordered them fired after they challenged what they called rampant sexual harassment and a hostile “Animal House”-style work environment at the company.

Trump doesn’t understand it though. He plans* to use it to finance childcare.
*As if he would do something like that. Why keep kids fed when you can line your pockets instead.
There’s a sound bite of him at a recent rally talking about how much he hated paying overtime and how he would avoid it.
He doesn’t care.
And I’m sure he doesn’t feel it understand empathy
Cluster B. NPD is not known for empathy.
