In interviews with MSNBC, Michigan steelworkers called out Donald Trump for his failure to come through with jobs after making big promises during campaign swings over three years ago.

In clips shared by MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle, who explained that the rise in the stock market is having little impact on the average Americans’ life, NBC correspondent Heidi Przybyla was seen interviewing workers — all currently laid-off — about job availability particularly in light of the president’s tariff war with China.

“I sat down yesterday with a few of the recently laid-off steelworkers who told me that, you know, all of those pledges from 2016 about how Trump was going to bring back their lifestyle, bring back these good-paying jobs by cracking down on trade and tariffs — all of that didn’t work out. It did nothing to save their communities,” the correspondent explained.
