00:03Pretty live shot there. Cincinnati, Ohio. And in the 2024 election, President Trump won the Buckeye
00:11State by 11 points, in large part because of repeated promises to boost the economy and bring
00:17back manufacturing jobs. But in January, several Ohio factories announced plans to close, including
00:24a Conselmer instrument plant in Eastlake, which is near Cleveland. The plant's billionaire owner,
00:30John Paulson, a close ally of President Trump, is sending all those jobs to China.
00:35Annette Dabrowski is a three-time Trump voter and a janitor at that Eastlake plant. At the end of
00:41this month, she will now be out of a job. MSNOW reporter Alex Tabbit sat down with her at her
00:47home
00:47last week, asked her about being laid off and whether she thinks President Trump understands
00:53what she is going through. I actually have panic attacks.
01:00I've had a couple this past week. And I get very emotional over it.
01:07I don't want to work anymore, but I can't afford to retire.
01:12Obviously, President Trump is immensely wealthy, has been wealthy since he was born.
01:16Do you think he understands? No. No. He hasn't lived it to understand it. He sees it. He has not
01:26lived it. He needs to live it. Wear the clothes. Wear the shoes. Wear your Walmart clothes. Wear your
01:32Walmart shoes. Do your thrift store shopping. Don't eat steaks. I don't get to go out to dinner.
01:41It's not an overnight thing, but it's been two years now. You said you'd bring down the grocery prices.
01:48Literally, I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop because I buy the same things every
01:54week. And I see it jump every week. It is not every couple months. It's literally every week.
02:03Alex also spoke with another three-time Trump voter, a man named Chris Tackett, a trucker from Ohio,
02:09who said he's fed up with the president's broken promises.
02:13When President Trump said he wasn't going to start foreign wars, when he said he was going to bring
02:17down prices. Did you believe him? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, his first term, I think he held true to
02:24everything that he said he was going to do. I think he fought for everything he said he was going
02:28to fight
02:28for. This time around, I haven't seen it. He's literally, he's backtracked on every single
02:36pitch point he had during his election, he's backtracking on. All we heard was drill,
02:41drill, drill during the election, and now all we're getting is drilled into the dirt with these prices.
02:46So I'm not a fan of him. I voted for Trump all three terms. To be honest with you,
02:52I'm not a big supporter of him at this point. If you could talk directly to President Trump,
02:58what would you tell him right now? Get it together, man. The average
03:01American is struggling to make ends meet right now. And nobody wants to hear the war is almost
03:05over. Nobody wants to hear it's going to get better. You've had a year to make it better at this
03:10point. Make it better. Our thanks to Alex Tabat for that report. And joining us now,
03:16House Minority Leader Democratic Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.
