Trump’s message of bringing back jobs resonated with workers – but after GM announced it was shuttering the plant, some questioned why they voted for him

Before Covid-19 hit, Trisha Amato spent her weekdays behind a modest, ebony-colored desk, running the “transition center” that helps laid-off General Motors workers pick up the shards of their lives. GM announced it was closing its mammoth plant in Lordstown, Ohio, in November 2018 and ever since Amato has been ladling out advice to the 1,700 laid-off workers on such matters as how to obtain jobless benefits and how to qualify for government assistance to pay for college courses.

Makes me angry. Tried to warn them. Can't save the stupid.

Just hope he doesn’t win a 2nd term otherwise there will be a lot more people regretting their vote

Unsurprisingly some still believe in Trump even though they say he has to stop the lying and cheating ... stupid is as stupid does.

Oy Vey! They will be shocked next week

Most of the planet regrets you voted for that buffoon, too!🙄

Don't forget that Trump called for a boycott against Goodyear in August bc they would not allow employees wear MAGA hats. Their HQ is in Akron - Trump hasn't got a chance in Ohio.

It would be interesting to get a look at GM’s profit margins when the decision to close was made. I doubt they were stuck for a few quid.

Did you folks not read newspapers? You voted for a known criminal, failed businessman, racist, misogynist and accused rapist and pedophile. Did you believe him when he said all these accusations were made up? Did you REALLY think he would 'clean up the swamp' in government?

I mean ..... You trusted a clown who bankrupt a casino to bring back jobs ?

Yeah we are all sorry you did that.

Private enterprise no profit no jobs this is the law of the commercial jungle ,as a conglomerate TU convenor I have been there !

Massive hit job Guardian

They got what they deserved because they knew Trump was a cheat, a liar, a racist, and most of all, a FAILED BUSINESSMAN. Next thing you know, Trump voters will hire a homeless drug addict to handle their finances. What could possibly go wrong?

Let them eat red hats
