https://thehill.com/policy/finance/424078-trump-supporter-eyes-moving-factory-to-mexico-over-tariffsPat LeBlanc, the chairman of EBW Electronics, voted for Trump in 2016 but told the Times that the tariffs are "killing us."
I just feel so betrayed. If we fail because the company is being harmed by the government, that just makes me sick," he added, saying that he expects that his profits in 2019 will be cut in half because of the tariffs.
Trump has engaged in a trade dispute with China, so far placing tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods and pledging tariffs on another $267 billion. Trump says the tariffs are a response to unfair trade practices by Beijing.
EBW Electronics has suffered from those tariffs because of higher costs for components such as transistors, resistors and capacitors, the Times reported.

No, it's being harmed by Trump. I wish he'd have googled Trump before voting for that toxic moron.

well, no sympathy is deserved when those people find themselves knee-deep in sewage. Boo hoo, your profits are cut in half.
Sucks for those employees though, if the factory moves.
