    LOL - only "one" of Trump's years.

    What good is a President's economy if it tanks his last year in office? Will that be part of his '24 campaign sloganeering - "Hey, I can give you a couple of good economic years, but it won't last!"

    So, one of the US's largest producers of high purity aluminum is gone. How much more damage will Joke do to the economy and nation before we say "ENOUGH!"?
    LOL LOL LOL I can tell you’ve never been to a primary aluminum mill. Not only that I bet you a dollar you couldn’t name a recent policy change at the Federal Level that’s the cause of the problem.

    Actually, while I was in the Navy, at one point I was buying aluminum by the semi-load regularly. Mostly 5052H32, 6061T6, among other grades and know all about machining, welding, forming, and whatever else about it.
    Aluminum requires massive amounts of electricity to manufacture, and mills usually have long-term contracts for supply of it. If this particular mill had to renew a contract for electrical power and the cost was now much higher, I can easily see that as a problem.
    Back when Cali was being ass raped by ENRON and having problems getting power, ALCOA among others shut their operations down and sold California their contracted power at a profit rather than make aluminum. The price of aluminum shot up significantly.
    Now, we have a Joke of a jackass in the White House that's trying to force the country to go Green with wind and solar and all that associated stupidity. That is driving the price of energy up just as it has everywhere else in the world it's been tried.

    ROFL......dude, the 2020 economy was YOUR campaign slogan in the last election.......you knew you couldn't beat him unless you triggered the economy to tank so you closed the economy and put everyone on the unemployment rolls.......and you still only won by 44,000 votes in an unconstitutional election.......

    Thanks for admitting that Trump left the economy in shambles.

    False dichotomy fallacy. There are many nations where things are made, not just the States or China.
