I thought your guy promised that giving billionaires their tax cut would keep stuff like this from happening. He could always declare a national emergency and force people to buy products they cant afford, earning less than $8.00 per hour.

"my guy" is also "Your guy" too unless you live outside the usa..

The tax cuts brought back tons of jobs in my sector building trades, we had our best 2 yrs ever in 119 yrs of our union. with all new contracts (post bho admin) and have work lined up for the next 2 yrs, Never had it that good b4.
GM makes shitty cars period. I have never owned anything but GM except 1 ford in my entire life.
My next truck will be a toyota and they are more usa made than the big 3 (2 Chrysler is fiat now)
Its GM's fault, they were in trouble way b4 Trump or even BHO got elected.

He may be my president, but, he is your "guy." Otherwise, you would not waste your time trying to prove he is great. As for construction, Census Bureau data show that construction spending in the U.S. has been rising since February 2011—when it was just shy of an annualized $755 billion—to $1.09 trillion in September 2015. The current and continued growth is credited to demand and low interest rates, instituted by the Federal Reserve in the last years of George W. Bush's term and continued through Obama's eight years. The kind of growth seen in construction, given the need to plan, design and do al the other stuff needed, could not possibly be an outcome of the tax cut. Besides, I can find no evidence that large portions of that money was invested in anything other than buying back stock. Buying back stock does not cause growth in the building industry. What we are seeing is more likely a continuation of unmet need, turning into demand once the economy recovered from the Great Recession..

Do you know what you get if you try to Google statisitcs that match the 50% unemployment you claim? Nothing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the construction unemployment was 21.1% when Obama took office and 5.7% when Trump was elected. It is possible that your local was the only one in America to not feel the efffect of the recovering economy and had 50% uemployment. But, I would bet my last dollar that this is not true. For the record, the construction unemployment rate has not improved a lot since Trump took office and was 6.2% last month. That would seem to contradict your statement that none of your "Brothers," in your local are currently unemployed. I think there is a distinct possibility that you might not be telling the truth, 100%. I won't call you a liar. But, the verifiable facts do not support anything you have said, as being true.
