28. A hunk of the Rust Belt voted for Trump as an anti-Clinton

vote because they see Clinton's NAFTA deal as something where Bill Clinton sold them out - leading to many plant closures. (I'm not going to debate that - in my view, it is a fact - ask Michael Moore)

The tariffs that preceded this, over GMs protests, are going to go against Trump along with these closures.

Without the support of the Rust Belt, Trump cannot win in 2020
