There are no structural steel manufacturers,(angle, channel, H-beam etc), in the US. Even the American owned companies are nothing more than distributors and warehouses for steel made in China, India, and Eastern Europe.

The EPA is the culprit.

Our last major tool steel manufacturer, Crucible, went bankrupt a few years back. All "Crucible" steel is now manufactured in China, and sold under the Crucible name in the US.

I own a manufacturing facility, the majority of our steel comes from Eastern Europe, Ukraine in particular.

Maybe someone should inform Lawrence O this. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Outside Henry Ford's River Rouge plant in Dearborn, Michigan, Severstal North America operates Severstal Dearborn.

From Wikipedia:

Recent major capital expenditures include a new, state-of-the-art blast furnace that began operation in 2007. In the past year and a half, Severstal Dearborn has completed the construction of a continuous linked pickle tandem cold mill (PLTCM) and a hot-dip galvanizing line.

Mr. Trump could buy American and I wish he would, but the Chinese exploit labor, devalue their currency, and pollute like motherfuckers. A strong negotiator could change that equation, making American steel more competitive.

And that makes it OK for Drumpf, the "brilliant" businessman?

Hmm. Imagine that. No wonder there wasn't any competition from US manufacturers. You caught on to why there were no bids. You missed why there are no companies to bid.

No more steel jobs. No more coal jobs. Gee, thanks dimretards!

And steel workers in the listed countries make less than $20 a day, benefits and all.
US minimum wage steel workers wouldn't have been able to keep the industry here

... changing the subject from steel to pharmaceuticals?

"Trump is "in it for himself"? Is that what you posted?

Did you also post this:"I understand business..."?

Let's see .... you're still in the military ... voting in Italy!

You have a damaged brain from a shrapnel hit and surgery!

You are probably 200-250 pounds overweight.

You are struggling with the English language.

You're a fucking liar!

You're little trump without money chicks, power, and your hands are even smaller that his.

And that's where the manufacturing jobs went.
So how is trump going reestablish manufacturing in the US while doing what business people do?

Once again you have the perfect anecdote.
The problem is that when the railroad unions strike there are no maintenance or yard workers. You can't just put a train on the tracks and take your choo choo anywhere you want. They are no public tracks.
And who hauls away the wreckage and debris before anyone starts to build? Can you say "Teamsters"?
Since you've left all the key details out like what the work was, it's scope, the priority it was assigned (there isn't room or the trucks to all get in there at once) and many other factors. Originally Posted by Munchmasterman

Ironic that you insult Trump supporters for being under-educated, yet you use atrocious grammar (look up sentence fragments) in so many of your own posts!!

What level of education did you achieve?

Globalist Uni-Party Fucks have been promoting this for 100 years. Good Thing we have been paying attention!

I understand business, but don't go on campaign trails saying I will bring back jobs to American when he's steadfastly buying products from China and his suits and ties are not made in America.
Trump has a choice he could either make as much profit as he can or he can put America first and make less of a profit but help America's economy- which one has he been choosing?
Didn't Trump blast Ford for sending jobs to Mexico? Yet Trump does the same crap and thinks it's ok?

If I went around the country telling people to support the economy and buy american made products and yet my garage has 3 cars all made in Japan- it would make me sound a big hypocritical would you agree? Originally Posted by Luke_Wyatt
