A clock factory in Michigan closed this month. Nearly two hundred people lost their jobs. One of them told the AP he’s been a Republican his entire adult life and he’s voting straight Democrat in November. Not a polling shift. A guy who got fired because his president started a trade war, walking into a booth with nothing left to lose.
Trump promised tariffs would bring manufacturing back. Instead, they closed a plant that was already here. The parts that factory needed got more expensive overnight, the math stopped working, and management shut it down. Two hundred families in Michigan are now job hunting because a billionaire in Mar-a-Lago wanted a talking point.
Twelve days until the midterms. The guy who sold this as “winning” has a 32% approval rating and a trail of shuttered factories behind him. The clock factory was making clocks. Now it makes Democratic voters.
