The numbers don't lie, and neither do the American workers whose lives have been transformed by President Trump's tariff policies. At Coosa Steel in Rome, Georgia, owner Andrew Saville looked Trump dead in the eye and delivered two words that destroy every mainstream media narrative about trade policy: "tariffs work."
This isn't some theoretical economics debate. This is real American manufacturing brought back from the dead. Coosa Steel had been making steel racks and plates for over 50 years when globalist trade policies nearly killed the company. Chinese subsidized products flooded the market at $90 per unit while American production costs sat at $150. The math was brutal and the results were devastating.
Two shifts six days a week collapsed to one shift, then three days, then one day, then just one hour per week. One hour. That's what decades of failed trade deals like NAFTA did to American manufacturing - turned thriving factories into ghost towns.
From Near-Death to Record Orders
Then Trump won, and everything changed. In October 2025, Saville landed the first massive tire rack order his company had seen in ten years. The order was so large he thought it was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake - it was tariffs working exactly as designed.
Now Coosa Steel runs two shifts a day, six days a week, with a 36-week lead time on orders. They installed a brand new crane just two months ago. When Trump pointed at it and asked how long it had been there, Saville's answer was simple: your policy brought it here, sir.
"More than 5,000 new manufacturing jobs created in Georgia alone. Over 70,000 construction jobs building new factories across the state."
But this story extends far beyond one steel plant. Trump revealed numbers the corrupt media has completely buried: More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. Not since 2001, not since the 1990s - ever.
CPI inflation has fallen to its lowest level since 2021. Real wages are up nearly $1,400. Private sector job growth hit 170,000 real jobs for real Americans, not the inflated government hiring numbers Biden used to fake progress.
The Democrats voted against every single one of these policies. Every. Single. One. While they were busy pushing their green new scam and transgender ideology, Trump was rebuilding American manufacturing one tariff at a time. The results speak for themselves, and so do the workers whose paychecks prove that America First isn't just a slogan - it's an economic miracle in action.
