Sen. Sherrod Brown said that President Trump 'finally woke up and acts like he wants to do something' regarding the closure of an automotive plant in Ohio
Sen. Sherrod Brown said Tuesday that President Donald Trump "finally woke up and acts like he wants to do something" regarding the closure of an automotive plant in Ohio, accusing the president of doing little to save the jobs lost by the facility's closure.
Brown said that Trump’s defenses for letting the plant close — despite successfully campaigning in the Midwest to revive its declining manufacturing sector — are evidence that the president will continue to pass off blame and refuse to accept any responsibility while he continues to rail against the plant’s closure on Twitter.
At the time, the president threatened to withhold government subsidies from GM, and implored CEO Mary Barra to reconsider. “The president, he attacks everybody,” Brown said when asked about Trump’s attacks on the Democratic auto workers union leader there. “When plant closed initially, when the second shift lay off last summer, the president attacked Democrats for that, even though it's a Republican president, a Republican Congress, a Republican governor. That's what he does because it's never his fault.”
