⁣🚨 President Donald Trump is facing criticism after remarks that critics say dismissed the contributions of everyday American workers.
Speaking at an event, Trump praised business leaders and successful entrepreneurs before taking aim at what he called "complainers."
😳 Then came the line that is now going viral.
🗣
👉 “These people built the country, not the complainers.”
👉 “Whether it's fishermen or farmers or anything else.”
👉 “Me. Guys like me, they built the country.”
👉 “The complainers didn't build anything, they couldn't build anything.”

💥 Why the comments are generating controversy:
Critics argue:
👉 America was built by workers, farmers, laborers, teachers, soldiers, nurses, truck drivers, factory workers, and small business owners.
👉 The remarks sounded dismissive of ordinary Americans struggling with rising costs.
👉 The comments reinforced perceptions that Trump identifies more with wealthy elites than working families.
Supporters argue:
👉 Trump was praising entrepreneurs, job creators, and investors who help drive economic growth.
👉 The remarks were directed at political critics, not everyday Americans.
👉 The comments are being interpreted in the harshest possible way.

🇺🇸 The larger debate:
Who built America?
🏗 Construction workers
🚜 Farmers
🎣 Fishermen
🏭 Factory workers
👩‍⚕️ Nurses
🧑‍🏫 Teachers
🪖 Military members
💼 Entrepreneurs
Most Americans would probably say all of the above.

🔥 Why this clip is spreading:
Because it touches a nerve that goes beyond politics:
Who gets credit for building the country?
The people at the top...
Or the millions who show up to work every day?

👉 What do YOU think?
Was Trump celebrating success... or insulting working Americans?
