It enjoyed excellent universities, world-class industries, smooth roads and political stability.

The majority of America’s almost 15 million unionized workers can be usually be relied upon to back the Democratic candidate in a presidential year, but leaders are concerned by Trump’s populist message on trade and jobs – and his insistence that union workers are just one of many groups on a long list of those he claims “love” him.

‘SNL': Watch golden showers ruin Alec Baldwin’s Trump’s first press conference “I’m not talking about the peepee because it didn’t happen it wasn’t as cool as it sounds,” says faux Trump After almost a month’s break, “Saturday Night Live” is back and didn’t miss a beat tackling Donald Trump’s first press conference since winning the election and nothing was off limits — not even golden showers. With Alec Baldwin returning as the president-elect, “SNL” kicked off the faux news conference by solidifying the fact that yes, Trump really will be the country’s president in a few short days. “I would like to start by answering the question, what’s on everyone’s mind — yes, this is me live,” said Baldwin as Trump. “On January 20th, I, Donald Trump, will become the 41st president of the United States. Two months later Mike Pence will become the 42nd.” You can check out the full sketch up above. Also Read: 'SNL' Cold Open Brings Back Baldwin's Trump, John Goodman Depresses as R...
