People keep talking about how Trump's election was about winning the white working class. We'll see how interested he is in their right to fair wages.
Trump's not even in office and he's getting blamed already. This was a judge who made the ruling. Not Trump.
I don't know how businesses get away without paying overtime. My life is finite. My work hours are finite. If you want more hours out of me, you pay for them.
I don't know. I kind of like being exempt. If I get my work done early and I decide the take the afternoon off, my paycheck is the same. That said I'm lucky and my company freely comps additional paid time off when I start working more than 40 hours per week.

Businesses pay for the overtime, but not at 150% of the base rate.
These exemptions are meant to cover people in certain job roles where output is measured by work delivered, not hours spent, and where the person has independent responsibility for controlling their working hours to certain extent and were overtime as such is in theory voluntary.
The threshold in question exists to make it harder to "define away" overtime pay obligations by pretending a role is more independent than it is, by connecting it to pay levels that makes it more likely that the role does in fact meet the intent of the law. The old/current levels makes a total mockery of that
It's worth noting that this change also follows a change in 2004 that went the other way - redefining large groups of previously non-exempt lower level supervisors etc. as exempt, drastically cutting their rights to overtime pay.

The rule in question protects those people where their control is often purely fictional by setting a lower bar.

Trump has vowed to roll back Obama regulations that he
says are hurting the economy. He expressed support for
changing the overtime rule during the presidential
campaign.
“Rolling back the overtime regulation is just one
example of the many regulations that need to be
addressed to do that,” Trump told Circa in August. “We
would love to see a delay or a carve-out of sorts for
our small business owners."
