Working Class Whites Watch: Day 341

It's a good thing for Trump that the election was last year.  The razor-thin victory he claimed in Pennsylvania is not likely to come again:
Despite President Donald Trump’s promises to bring back steel manufacturing, many steel mill workers are facing layoffs.
For example, ArcelorMittal-owned mill in Conshohocken, Penn. announced in September that it would cut 150 of 207 jobs based on seniority. Many steel workers who voted for Trump because they believed he’d be a boon for the industry are feeling abandoned by the president, New York Times reported on Friday.
(Apply the usual caveats that policies which adversely affect working class whites ALSO affect ALL working-class Americans)
