Put a little WD-40 on that and it should be good as new.

I’ll bet the Russian factories supplying North Korea’s nosecones, fins and propellant are worried about Trump’s actions too.

Are there any smaller pictures?

That is so huge a file that it’s messing with my screen.

How does the headline reflect the article, which interviews a steel worker who supported Trump and still doees?

Oh wait ... NPR.

Ah, one of N instances (where N is a very large number) where NPR again demonstrates that it is a pathetic collection of folks who can only succeed in societies where productive folks have enough surplus to provide for the mentally weak.

“That is so huge a file that it’s messing with my screen.”

Pres Ctrl and spin your mouse wheel. If it gets even bigger, go the other way.

Publisher: “Everything Trump does works out so well!”
Editor: “Well, we can write stories, before he does things, and make it look like the effects will be bad. Oh, and then not cover his success,”
Publisher: “Yes, I guess that’s the only way to get negative stories about him.”

If they’re worried now, they must have been suicidal during Obama’s 8 years of hell.

...it imports raw steel slabs from Russia...

How hard is that to figure out?

I don’t recall the MSM being concerned about anything during the Obama reign of terror.

Concerned about Odumbo’s bracket picks. That’s about it.

They want to buy the cheaper Russian steel slabs? They need to start getting more creative instead of fretting . Then perhaps he will have a job for his son in 20 years too.

The answer is simple. Bring raw steel slabs from America.

A 2nd mill has re-started in Illinois, maybe they’re be next.

A typical response to tariffs is to move the production in country. The fundamental response needed from the U.S. companies is to improve their product or process to continue to win business without the tariff.

There is production in this country. This mill just needs to have its acquisition, of raw steel, come from in country, instead of from Russia.
