Critics bash Trump for not listening -- but offer no solutions

Except for one thing: the critics offer no solutions for the working class Americans left behind by the bipartisan push for globalization.

Moreover, their failure to focus on the plight of those families and how they factor into the president’s view of the nation shows they still don’t fully appreciate why Trump was elected. It was legions of frustrated working and middle-class voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin that helped him barrel through the supposedly solid blue wall of Democratic states.

Those who forget the human impact of ideology would have benefited from watching the signing ceremony of the tariff proclamation.
