Individual-1 has let down his followers in steel and aluminum manufacturing.




@MSNBC · 3h

Watch @SteveRattner explain how new data shows that President Trump has made little progress in achieving two of his principal economic goals of boosting factory jobs and protecting domestic steel and aluminum production. https://on.msnbc.com/2EpKytV

New data issued last week shows that the president has made little progress in achieving two of his principal economic goals of boosting factory jobs and protecting domestic steel and aluminum production.


Be Nice, Until... @ItsTimeToNotBe

But @realDonaldTrump will keep saying how he’s done more for the steel and aluminum industry than “anyone ever has...ever in history” and his base will believe him since they don’t believe in fact-checking

that's only because he made imported steel and aluminum more expensive, allowing domestic producers to raise their prices. This is how he ran his businesses, and is all he knows.

In the longer run, this is not good since it affects everything else down the line. Note that his businesses have almost all disappeared.

He remains, as ever, and ignorant, inept, asshole.

And do not forget that he said he'll be gone before the bottom falls out, so he won't get the blame. Another big part of his business strategy.
