A steel plant owner looked President Trump dead in the eye and said two words that tell you everything about what's really happening in America right now — "tariffs work." No spin. No talking points. Just a man whose company went from one hour of work per week to running full capacity around the clock, standing in front of the president who made it possible.
Coosa Steel in Rome, Georgia has 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 with slave labor economics.
Two shifts six days a week collapsed to one shift, then three days, then one day, then one hour. One hour per week. That's what decades of failed trade policy did to American manufacturing. That's what NAFTA and Clinton-era deals actually produced — ghost shifts in empty factories.
Then Trump Won. Everything Changed.
In October 2025, Coosa Steel owner Andrew Saville landed their first massive tire rack order in ten years. The order was so large Saville 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, the owner's answer was simple — your policy brought it here, sir.
"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 the country."
But this story goes far beyond one steel plant. Trump revealed numbers the mainstream media has completely buried: 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 hiring numbers Biden used to fake progress.
The American dream isn't dead, patriots. It's being rebuilt one tariff, one tax cut, and one executive order at a time. And the Democrats voted against every single one of these policies. Every. Single. One.
