well they'll be happy up on the mesabi. and hey, maybe it'll revitalize those areas. but what INSTEAD should have happened was increasing tech infrastructure in the area to encourage people to hire contracting software developers from in-country and in-state who can be paid less because of lower cost of living. that would help revitalize such depressed areas: by revitalizing The Pastoral American Dream

Republicans loved free trade until a reality tv star told them to become protectionist.
Think about that. Think about how malleable conservative viewpoints are. They are truly empty shells.

I guess in order to be fair we should acknowledge that the politicians were privately vocal in opposition to this.
Just another sign that the GOP has no control over him and that he's slowly turning their base against them/towards him.

it's frankly amazing to me that such policy can be dictated by the executive at all
oh wait its because there is a law that the president can do it if it "threaten[s] to impair the national security"
at least this is ripe for a legal challenge
