“I’m as left-wing as you can find, and I thought Trump was full of it,” he said. “But everybody is tired of the same old politicians. It could have been Captain Kangaroo and he might have won.”
As for the candidate who did win, Mr. Trump, the union leader said he was waiting for him to make that phone call to Carrier. “He’s got time. He doesn’t take the oath of office until Jan. 20,” Mr. Jones said. “Trump made Carrier the poster child and said he would hold Carrier accountable. Well, we’re going to hold him to it.”
The rust belt is going to feel so foolish four years from now when their manufacturing jobs are still gone and they're still economically depressed. Should have went with the candidate that wanted to focus job growth on new technologies and new industries.
What's funny is that Trump relied on so many people that were just completely ignorant about the state of jobs in the US.
There were counties in PA that switched red because "there are no jobs!!! Obama ruined everything!!" when the numbers showed that their county had seen a double-digit DECREASE in unemployment.
I'm sick of all of these think-pieces discussing the plight of the rural white male... like POC are overwhelmingly working class as well and they didn't vote Orange Hitler into power!
The jobs illegal people have are jobs that white people don't want and the jobs legal (latinos and other races) people have they have them because they're qualified for them.
(If this is about Trump deporting Latinos and giving those jobs back to white people).

It's not because they're smarter or nicer, they just have different interests. The day latinos become as rich as whites, they'll probably vote republican just as much.
Not some, but rather the 99% of Trump Supporters are not racist and want jobs. It is just disgusting that the media are trying to paint Trump supporters as racist as the 1% and 10% of the DNC.
They're just as worse as the racist/homophobic/sexist ones
They don't realize that in order to do what Trump plans on doing, it comes at a cost, the middle class will be taxed more while the 1% won't, the last time this happened the economy flopped.
