Trump focuses on economic successes in speech to Ohio plant workers
By Ashley Parker and Ashley Parker White House reporter Email Bio Follow Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow March 20 at 5:30 PM LIMA, Ohio — President Trump, in a speech largely crediting himself for the strong economy, told plant workers here Wednesday that his future 2020 Democratic opponent will struggle in debates because he can just rattle off low unemployment statistics.
Trump’s visit to the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center in Lima, which is operated by General Dynamics, was an official White House event and not one of his more freewheeling “Make America Great Again” rallies. Still, Trump did spend five minutes at the start of his speech disparaging the late senator John McCain and later said former president Barack Obama and “Crooked Hillary” could not have achieved what he has.
“You better love me. I kept this place open, that I can tell you. They said, ‘We’re closing it.’ And I said, ‘No, we’re not.’ And now, you’re doing record business,” Trump said when he came onstage to chants of “USA, USA.” “I am not happy that is closed when everything else in our Country is BOOMING,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “I asked her to sell it or do something quickly.”
