One Truth About Tariff's The Mainstream Media Ignores But We All Know
While the media has been peddling all of these doomsday scenarios surrounding President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the American working class is simply NOT BUYING IT.
For the first time in as long as I can remember, America has a president who is fighting for middle-class families instead of allowing the globalists to fatten their pockets while these hard-working Americans struggle.
THAT’S what the tariffs are all about and the people can see that.
In one example of that, Union workers in the automobile and steel industry chatted with Fox Business about the impact of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs and they revealed that they’re “very excited” about what the president is doing.
The two men said they have already seen what Trump’s tariffs can do for America, back in 2018. “It saved a lot of jobs. It did a lot of good for us. As an American, just as a country, it did a lot.”
One of the men said that thanks to the anti-American Democrat policies we’re accustomed to, he has worked at 8 different plants over 26 years, because “a lot of those plants closed under Democratic leadership.”
“Trump is the first time I’ve ever seen a reverse of that and actually seen jobs coming back into our country and better than 65% of the membership support him and probably closer up to 70% now because they’re starting to see results from that,” the man added.
Democrats used to be known as the “party of the working class” when in reality, they were just killing the working class the entire time. Now the party and its propaganda media allies are throwing a tantrum because Trump is trying to revive it.
Don’t fall for it!

1977, Carter: MY dad a WW11 Vet worked for Youngstown Sheet and Tube when this happened. 1977, Jimmy Carter was President. Carter never even bothered to send out an aide to receive the petitions when they arrived. Amazingly, the president, who was a well-known supporter of the working class, never even acknowledged them.
The day that destroyed the working class and sowed the seeds of Trump https://nypost.com/2017/09/16/the-day-that-destroyed-the-working-class-and-sowed-the-seeds-for-trump/
It was just before 7 a.m., and the fog that had settled over the river was beginning to lift. As the sun began to streak through the mist, the men made their way into the labyrinth of buildings where they worked.
In the next hour, their lives would change forever.
From then on, this date in 1977 would be known as Black Monday in the Steel Valley, which stretches from Mahoning and Trumbull counties in Ohio eastward toward Pittsburgh. It is the date when Youngstown Sheet and Tube abruptly furloughed 5,000 workers in one day.
The bleeding never stopped.
Within the next 18 months, US Steel announced that the nation’s largest steel producer was also shutting down 16 plants across the nation, including their Ohio Works in Youngstown, a move that eliminated an additional 4,000 workers here. That announcement came one day before Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. said they were cutting thousands of jobs at their facilities in the Mahoning Valley, too.
Within a decade, 40,000 jobs were gone. Within that same decade, 50,000 people had left the region, and by the next decade, that number was up to 100,000. Today the 22 miles of booming steel mills and the support industries that once lined the Mahoning River have mostly disappeared — either blown up, dismantled or reclaimed by nature.
If a bomb had hit this region, the scar would be no less severe on its landscape.
“The domino effect of Black Monday went on forever,” said Gary Steinbeck of nearby Warren, Ohio. Steinbeck was working up the river that day from the rolling plant at H.K. Porter, which also later went out of business. “The word spread quickly. Back then there weren’t any cellphones or social media. Good news travels fast, bad news travels at the speed of light. We knew within the hour the guys down the river were hurting, we knew within a day families were hurting, we knew within a week the whole region was suffering,” he said.
“Those numbers only reflect the jobs that were lost in the plant; the ripple effect was equally devastating. Grocery stores, pizza shops, gas stations, restaurants, department stores, car dealerships, barber shops all saw their business plummet and they started closing,” said Steinbeck.
