"And with our historic tariffs, steel production is roaring back. We're building steel mills all over the country, and U.S. Steel is coming back at a level never thought possible before. And I was up. And I was up here and with the workers and with Selena. Do you know Selena? Does everybody know? And with some other people. We were up with some great people, and we spent the whole day,"
"I went to the workers, I said, which one do you like? We picked the right one. I as I said before, billions, billions of dollars they're spending. And the steel workers are doing phenomenally better. I think you're gonna do better than you've ever done before. You were losing all of your steel. If we didn't have tariffs, you would have no steel. We wouldn't have one steel mill anywhere in the United States."
A campaign tour followed new polls showing weakness on the economy, culminating in a more than 90-minute event at Mount Airy Casino Resort. Aggressive tariffs were defended as responsible for reviving domestic steel production and prompting U.S. Steel to return at previously unattainable levels. Meetings with workers and selections of contracts involving billions in spending were described, and steel workers were portrayed as doing phenomenally better. The tariffs were framed as essential for national security to preserve domestic steel capacity. Consumers were urged to forgo certain imported products rather than attribute higher prices to tariff policies.
