A local union leader in Lordstown, Ohio slammed President Donald Trump in comments to CNN aired Tuesday morning, saying the president had "lied" and could not be trusted.
Despite a recent deal between unionized factory workers and General Motors (GM), the auto manufacturer has kept its Lordstown plant shuttered, forcing many local workers to leave the town in search of new opportunities. At an Ohio rally in 2017, Trump specifically instructed factory workers not to sell their homes, promising that factories would reopen or be replaced with new facilities. Now, local officials in Lordstown say the village has lost $1 million since March.
[ Only an imbecile would believe a Trump promise. ]
"Pretty much anything that man says is unrealistic to me," Bill Adams, vice president of the United Auto Workers Local 1112, told CNN. Asked about Trump's promise to save jobs in the area, Adams responded rhetorically: "How'd that work out?"
"It didn't," he answered his own question. "He lied," the union leader asserted.
