Steelworkers Sound the Alarm: Only Trump Can Save American Jobs from Kamala's Anti-Tariff Agenda

By Sam Clemons

“Without Trump, the steel industry’s done.” That’s the warning from Pennsylvania’s steelworkers, who’ve officially thrown their weight behind Donald Trump for 2024. The message is clear—this election is about survival.

The steelworkers from U.S. Steelworkers Local 1557 didn’t mince words: If Kamala Harris ends up in the White House, their jobs are gone. It’s that simple. These workers, many of whom grew up in Democratic households, say Trump’s tariffs were the only thing standing between them and unemployment. They’re not betting on hope or empty promises—Trump’s America First policies kept their industry alive. Now they need him back in office to finish the job.

Glenn Thomas, a third-generation steelworker, told Fox & Friends just how crucial those tariffs were.

“When President Trump imposed tariffs on China, he saved the entire steel industry—not just in the country but right here in the Mon Valley,” Thomas declared. “We’ve lived and worked here for 30 years, and without Trump, all of it would’ve collapsed.”

Steelworkers Stand with Trump—And They Brought a Hard Hat to Prove It

During a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the union proudly endorsed Trump by handing him a commemorative hard hat—a powerful symbol of solidarity from the very workers his policies protected. For these men and women, it wasn’t just a political gesture; it was personal.

“Trump saved all of our jobs with those tariffs,” said Local 1557 Vice President Richard Tikey. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us to stand on that stage with him. Trump gets it—he fights for workers like us.”

Brian Pavlack, another steelworker, echoed the sentiment: “The entire Mon Valley is behind Trump.” Their message to Harris? Keep your hands off those tariffs.

Harris’ Anti-Tariff Plans Would Wipe Out Jobs

The steelworkers warned that a Kamala Harris presidency would undo everything Trump accomplished. Harris has openly criticized tariffs, calling them “a tax on Americans.” But the workers know better. Tariffs leveled the playing field, keeping predatory foreign competitors like China at bay. Harris would throw all that progress away.

“If Kamala gets in, we’re done,” Pavlack bluntly stated. “She’s said it herself—she’ll remove the steel tariffs. We need Trump to win, or we’ll lose everything.”

For Andy Macey, another veteran of the industry, it’s not just politics—it’s survival.

“I’ve lived through the layoffs. I’ve seen three mills shut down since the ‘80s,” Macey said. “We only have three left. Trump gave me his word with a handshake that he’d keep the Mon Valley alive. I believe him.”

Trump’s Built in America Policy: The Only Hope for U.S. Manufacturing

If Trump wins in November, he’s ready to launch a "Built in America" initiative, designed to bring manufacturing jobs roaring back—not just to Pennsylvania but nationwide. It’s a direct response to the slow erosion of America’s industrial base under globalist trade deals. Trump’s plan isn’t about rhetoric; it’s about action.

Meanwhile, both Trump and the Biden-Harris administration have voiced opposition to Japan’s Nippon Steel’s attempt to take over U.S. Steel. Some workers fear the foreign takeover could jeopardize jobs and scrap labor agreements. Others are cautiously optimistic, hoping new investments will modernize their aging mills. But even with that optimism, they know one thing for sure: Without Trump’s leadership, their future is bleak.

“We’ve got equipment from 1938,” Macey said. “If Nippon invests, maybe we get a fighting chance. But we can’t lose a single job. We need Trump back to secure our future.”

Steelworkers vs. The Elites: This Election is Make or Break

This election isn’t just about policies—it’s a war between working-class Americans and a political elite that has abandoned them. While Harris talks about “taxes” and “free trade,” real Americans are losing their livelihoods. The steelworkers aren’t falling for the lies anymore. They’ve seen firsthand how globalist trade policies devastated entire communities. And they know that only Trump stands between them and total collapse.

“When Trump imposed those tariffs, it was the first thing he did—and it worked,” Macey emphasized.

The message is loud and clear: America’s workers don’t need another globalist in the White House. They need Trump back—fighting for tariffs, manufacturing, and the jobs that keep families afloat.

If Kamala Harris wins, it’s game over. These steelworkers are ready to fight—and they’ve made it clear who they’re fighting for.

The stakes couldn’t be higher.
It’s freedom versus control. Survival versus collapse. Patriotism versus betrayal. The choice for 2024 is simple: America First, or no America at all.
