UPDATE. Greetings from Trump's America: Knox County, Illinois, where job loss and unemployment are up since Trump has been president




Reported in Growth Has Lifted Counties That Voted for Trump. Mostly, It’s the Wealthy Ones.  (The New York Times,  9/3/2018)


Original 5/13/2018 post, "Greetings from Trump's America", starts here.

Loyalty, unease in Trump's Midwest.  (Washington Post, 5/11/2018)
Bustos was keenly aware that one reason Trump had scored well was his ability, in contrast to Clinton, to relate to white, working-class voters. A week earlier, during an interview in her congressional office, she had ticked through the damage over two decades. A plant in Knox County that had gone to Mexico. Jobs lost in Stephenson County through multiple company closings or reductions. A factory that was the lifeblood of a town in Jo Daviess County that had shut down. The steel plant in Whiteside County that was long gone, but whose departure was still felt. 
Bustos knew that workers were losing faith in Clinton during the campaign. “You could just feel it,” she said. “You go into these labor halls and guns would always come up. I don’t care where I [would] go, it would be like the first question. . . . Where’s Hillary stand on guns?”

The population of Knox County peaked in 1980.
