As a reminder on Trump steel tariffs

Link to tweet

?s=20

Text of tweet:

As a reminder:

Trump announced steel tariffs on 3/1/18 - US Steel stock price was $45.39/share on 3/2/18.

Today, US Steel stock price is $11.82/share. Steel workers are losing jobs.

A decrease of 74% - tired of all this winning yet?

And, a related article on steel workers losing their jobs

This is the kind of news Democrats need to be talking about every day, news that dispels all the LIES that have been spread about Donald Trump's so called "accomplishments". He has no accomplishments that benefit anyone but the filthy rich. But, virtually every MAGAT running around would likely tell you that "Trump has revived steel".

I've had MSNBC on in the background all day today and wouldn't know about these layoffs, unless I come to DU to read some actual news.
