TARIFFS WORK: Steel Plant Owner's Two Words DESTROY Media Lies About Trump Economy

A steel plant owner looked President Trump dead in the eye and said two words that obliterate every lie the mainstream media has told about tariffs: "Tariffs work."

Andrew Saville, owner of Coosa Steel in Rome, Georgia, didn't need talking points or economic theories. His company went from one hour of work per week to running full capacity around the clock, all thanks to the president who actually fights for American workers instead of globalist donors.

This is what decades of failed trade policy did to American manufacturing. Coosa Steel had been making steel racks and plates for over 50 years—American workers, American sweat, American products stamped Made in the USA. Then the globalists got their way.

China flooded the market with subsidized products at $90 a piece while American production costs sat at $150. There was no competing. Two shifts six days a week collapsed to one shift, then three days, then one day, then one measly hour per week.

From Ghost Shifts to Boom Times

Then Trump won in 2024, and everything changed. In October 2025, Saville landed his first massive tire rack order in ten years. The order was so large he thought it was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake—it was tariffs working exactly as promised.

Now they're running two shifts a day, six days a week, with a 36-week lead time on orders. They installed a brand new crane just two months ago. When Trump pointed at it and asked how long it had been there, Saville's answer was simple: "Your policy brought it here, sir."

But this story goes far beyond one steel plant in Georgia. Trump revealed numbers the corrupt media has completely buried: More than 5,000 new manufacturing jobs created in Georgia alone. Over 70,000 construction jobs building new factories across the state. More Americans working today than at any time in the history of our country.

"This could be one of the greatest economic years in modern American history," said Peter Navarro about the current economic data.

CPI inflation has fallen to its lowest level since 2021. Real wages are up nearly $1,400. Private sector job growth hit 170,000—real jobs for real Americans, not the inflated government numbers Biden used to fake progress.

The Democrats voted against every single one of these pro-American policies. Every. Single. One. While they were busy trying to impeach Trump again, he was busy making America great again. And patriots like Andrew Saville are living proof that America First works.

The economic data has been there all along but the corrupt media refuses to acknowledge it. President Trump's policies are revitalizing American manufacturing and bringing jobs back from China where they belong.

This is what happens when you put America first instead of globalist policies. I'm curious though - are we seeing similar results in aluminum and other manufacturing sectors?

Yes! My buddy works in aluminum production and they've expanded operations twice in the last year.

Finally someone speaking the TRUTH! I work at a steel plant in Ohio and we've been hiring like crazy since these tariffs went into effect. The media won't report this because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Exactly why we need to keep fighting against the fake news. Real Americans know what's working.
