Trump said today: "Just left the Cosmo Steel Plant in Rome, Georgia. This factory was almost shut down a year ago, but is now operating 24 hours a day. This is the scene across the country - businesses are thriving, all thanks to tariffs. The United States has earned billions of dollars in revenue, and national security has at least doubled, all achievements brought about by the tariffs that saved the economy!"
Comments: Trump's remarks are a classic example of his favorite voter emotional marketing: using a revived steel plant as a symbol, portraying tariffs as a magical solution to save the American economy and strengthen national security, painting a picture of manufacturing prosperity, and using exaggerated figures to boost supporters' confidence, while never mentioning the negative impacts such as rising prices, increased supply chain costs, and retaliatory measures from other countries. In the end, it's just about using the most straightforward and easily understandable story to glorify his policies and build momentum for the midterm elections.
