"The same people in the administration promising the return of domestic manufacturing and coal mining are also dismantling measures to keep workers safe. They’re the same people who don’t believe in a minimum wage that could feed a family. They’re the same people who want to see unions crushed."

Tariffs, Trump argues, will replace income tax.
Return of domestic manufacturing, however, must surely mean you don't need to import the item.
Therefore, imports go down. Tariffs go down.
The item will still cost more, but there won't be any revenue from its production.

manufacturers won't repatriate industry unless those laws and standards are abolished.
I start to think a robot in some factory, will malfunction, rip both of a child's limbs from their body, and beat the child to death with those severed limbs
Cause Donald said you can drop a bomb on coal and it will still be there the next day.
(what about immediately after? )

They voted for children to work. Now they want DIRTY COAL! 😡
Who will be the first to take that whopping $2.20 per hour?
the bigger risk is poverty wages/sweatshop/no protections for workers from the days of no union protections - child labor & Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire... 👿☠️
Trump voters want to go back to 1950, where the world’s industrialized countries had been flattened by the war, and we were kings.
Trump and his elite cabal want to go back to 1890, when robber barons ruled the land.
That's where we're headed unless we the people decide to be the people.
When Donald Trump thought "clean coal meant they wash it really good"?
Instead of it burns w/ lower sulfur content & the furnaces used scrubbers to eliminate some of the heavy toxins from the smokestacks.
Felon Trump wants to take the US back 100+yrs.
No Medicare, or Social Sec, primitive medicine, few vaccines..
They want the Golden Age back, when the robber barons accumulated vast wealth and the rest of the country suffered.
They're dismantling our protections
