A steel plant owner looked President Trump dead in the eye and delivered two words that obliterate every mainstream media lie about America's economic revival: "Tariffs work." No spin. No corporate talking points. Just raw truth from a man whose factory went from operating one hour per week to running at full capacity around the clock.
Andrew Saville, owner of Coosa Steel in Rome, Georgia, stood before the President and told the story the establishment media refuses to cover. His company has been manufacturing steel racks and plates for over 50 years – American workers, American sweat, American products stamped Made in the USA. Then the globalists got their way.
China flooded the market with subsidized steel products at $90 per piece while American production costs sat at $150. There was no competing with communist slave labor. Two shifts six days a week collapsed to one shift, then three days, then one day, then one pathetic hour per week. That's what decades of failed trade policy – NAFTA, Clinton-era sellouts, and Obama's anti-business agenda – did to American manufacturing.
From Ghost Factory to Booming Business
Then Trump won. And everything changed. In October 2025, Coosa Steel landed their first massive tire rack order in ten years. The order was so enormous that Saville thought it was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake – it was Trump's tariff policy bringing manufacturing home.
Now they're running 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."
But this story goes far beyond one steel plant. Trump revealed numbers the fake news media has completely buried: more than 5,000 new manufacturing jobs created in Georgia alone, over 70,000 construction jobs building new factories across the state, and more Americans working today than at any time in our nation's history.
The Democrats voted against every single policy that made this possible. While they pushed Green New Deal fantasies and woke nonsense, Trump delivered real jobs for real Americans. The American dream isn't dead – it's being rebuilt one tariff at a time.
