Having second thoughts, as he wrecks your economy? Wondering why the jackass got 12% of the vote in New York, where they’re familiar with his bullshit?
In Trump-Friendly Iowa, the President’s Policies Have Hit Hard
The state has become a stronghold for President Trump. Now, his efforts on trade, energy and immigration are squeezing farmers, disrupting labor and threatening industries.
Manufacturing, which drives 17 percent of Iowa’s economic output, has been hit with higher production costs in part because of steep tariffs on inputs like aluminum and steel. Meatpacking plants, which help make Iowa the nation’s leading pork producer, rely heavily on foreign-born workers, hundreds of thousands of whom saw their legal status stripped away by the president. Mr. Trump’s war on renewable energy also threatens the wind industry that produces more than half of Iowa’s electricity.
