Always projection from these asshats.

It's not even projection. He has a trucking business. If there are fewer truckers, he (and everyone else in the business) can charge higher rates for his company's services. It's pure homegrown red-blooded American greed. The remaining truckers may get to demand more pay but that cost will be passed on to the customers too. And all those costs will be paid for by consumers buying groceries and shit. Just so he could make a bit more money.

This would be grounds for impeachment in any sane country. In mine the media would have a field day demolishing his reputation.
