So, the steel tariffs didn't save the high paying steel mill jobs in your state?

Which steel tariffs during which period of time?  Sometimes when the result is bad the cause is not the tariff.

You do realize tariffs are in effect now?  The steel industry wants to keep them, close off exemptions, and severely curtail the export of scrap metal to competitor nations.  They say jobs are being saved and the breathing space is allowing them to rebound.

The automotive industry folks are not so pleased.  They say the tariff is costing jobs, causing them to import finished components, raising their costs, making them less competitive.

Ah . . . the agony of tradeoffs.

Hey don't change the subject. Your turn. What are the job ads are in YOUR newspaper?

[US Steel, Bethlehem steel were long gone before the tariffs came went. A too late election gesture was no help.]
