Trump broke his promises to bring manufacturing plants and jobs back to Ohio.

Now, as the community continues to struggle to get by, even more workers are being laid off because of Trump\u2019s failures.<\/p>\n

\n

Trump promised to bring manufacturing plants and jobs back to Ohio.<\/p>\n

\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI said, those jobs have left Ohio. They\u2019re all coming back. They\u2019re all coming back. Don\u2019t move, don\u2019t sell your house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cWe are going to fight for every last American job. It\u2019s time to remove the rust from the rust belt\u2014to usher in a new industrial revolution. We are going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cJobs will return, don’t you like the sound of that? Incomes will rise and new factories will come rushing onto our shores.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Now, after GM idled plants and laid off thousands of workers, even more workers are losing their jobs at the Lordstown plant as a result.<\/p>\n

\n

WFMJ<\/a>: \u201cA company that previously announced it was laying off 39 employees who worked inside the General Motors Assembly Plant in Lordstown, now says it is laying off 40 more workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Meanwhile, workers and communities continue to struggle to get by after Trump\u2019s broken promises.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEverything they asked us to do, we did. And still, we don\u2019t have a product to build.\u201d – GM Lordstown local union leader<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe did everything they want. This is their payback.\u201d – 24-year GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor our city, this hit to our budget is phenomenal. It\u2019s not a one-time hit of $800,000, it\u2019s year after year, after year, of that money.\u201d – Hamtramck city manager on GM\u2019s plan closure<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIf they\u2019re gonna leave and abandon that building, we as a community are going to be left with that carcass of a building, and the chemicals that are seeping into the waterways.\u201d – Detroit resident<\/a><\/p>\n
