Nail Manufacturing Exec Voted For Trump And Now Has To Lay Off His Employees, Wants Democrats Help

According to The New York Times, an executive for the largest nail producer in the U.S. who voted for Donald Trump said he is so upset by Trump’s trade policies that he is lobbying a Democratic senator for help.

George Skarich, vice president of sales for Missouri-based Mid Continent Nail Corporation, said that his nail company could soon go out of business.

“He ran on ‘Make America Great Again,’ and the point was to defend and protect jobs in the United States,” Skarich said.

“Now here is an action he decides to take that has the potential to cost 500 U.S. citizens their jobs,” he added, referring to the 25 percent tariffs on steel imports that Trump announced in March.

promised jobs. Damn shame 500 jobs could be lost because of this execs vote for this lying con man. Deplorable. Now the exec, to everlasting shame with him, he's at the least a bigot somewhere in that diseased mind of his and for him to become penniless is still too good a fate..
