The president’s spate of Twitter activity began shortly before 6 a.m. with a tweet of his own blasting a “dues sucking union.”
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 1 at 7:01 AM President Trump took to Twitter early Wednesday morning to retweet dozens of posts from purported firefighters and friends and relatives of firefighters who had taken issue with an endorsement this week of Democrat Joe Biden by a major firefighters union.
