Fight the power.
Because Trump is a major player in these unfolding events. When word got out that the IBT had a federal judge waiting to hit him with an injunction if he tried to intervene in the 97 strike Bill Clinton wisely stayed out of it. Knowing that they would get tired of cuffing each other around after awhile he stepped out of the way and let them go at it. Sixteen days later both sides got tired of it and settled.
As president you have to pick your spots, know when and where there's a fight worth getting involved in. Not defending Clinton but he knew that simply having the powers to intervene doesn't mean that you do intervene. Given Trump's propensity to pick a fight with anyone over the pettiest of issues. knowing better than to needlessly get yourself into a UPS/IBT scrum is something he hasn't shown me as being capable of.
As for the Trump legacy, if it turns out good fine but if the Mueller report is so that damning that Congress will have no choice but to act then as a Trump lover what will you have to say? In the meantime back to the topic of a potential UPS/ IBT showdown two facts remain. One, Trump has the power to end a strike if one were to occur. Two, unlike 1997 this is an election year and that is a factor and with control of Congress hanging in the balance pressure from congressional Republicans to intervene in a strike should one occur will no doubt be significant.
