Nail manufacturing exec who voted for Trump blames him for layoffs
An executive for the largest U.S. nail producer who voted for President Trump said he is so dismayed by the president'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, told The New York Times 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 told the Times.
“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.

They could always sacrifice a little bit of profit if they really want to keep people on.
Dominic Mitchell
no no, they're the largest nail manufacturer in the country. They don't actually make any profit, so they can't shave anything off their bottom line. Like CEO wages
Luke Price
you nailed it!

well hopefully trump will figure this out and rescind the tariffs. He's fairly erratic that way. He will have to change his mind. Making things with steel is more profitable than producing the steel. Steel should be as cheap as possible, there should be no tariffs on steel.

Fuck off Xhong We're not buying your shit-grade steel-substitute anymore
Jacob Reyes
Why doesnt he just buy american steel. The 25% tarriff should make american steel more affordable. And why aren’t the imported nails hit with a tarriff?
Leo Hall
I don’t know but obviously that isn’t option. President Trumps economic policies are taking a bitter toll on this nations workers
Daniel Johnson

if u cant do it, i am perfectly sure someone else can, we aren't going to run out of fucking nails in fucking america.

Jack Williams
Who are you trying to fool? Why do you waste your time here? Are you a real person? Do they make you eat at your desk?
Ian Taylor
Far fewer people work in steel production than in industries that use steel.
If China was dumping other commodities like oil or iron ore we would all be cheering.
Camden Kelly
There's nothing wrong with a grievance. His mistake was running to a lefty so fuck him and fuck his nails. Fucking retard sides with anti white BULLSHIT for fucking nails.

Probably Mexican or Canadian, so they are exempt?

Read the article: their customers are now importing nails instead of buying American made nails.
If Mexican nails are 25% cheaper because of this then of course nobody will buy made in America. Same will apply to all steel products now made much cheaper in Mexico than in America.
Easton Long
nah he was a traitor faggot who didn't buy US steel.
