Florian Howaniec: Voting for return of jobs

In diagnosing the Donald Trump election victory, the political pundits and mainstream media, attribute his win to a new class of voter: the white male without a college degree. They fail to see, the real reason for the Trump victory: the working class – the steel worker from Pittsburgh, the coal miner from West Virginia, the auto worker from Detroit and the mill workers from the Carolinas.

All of these jobs have been sent to foreign countries, and the few jobs that remained, were taken by immigrants.

The working class consists of all races. These workers voted for Trump to bring back the factory jobs, so they could participate in a growing economy and enjoy the fruits of their labors.
