They put tariffs on all steel- not just China. Seriously I fear that Trump is running out of people to piss off.

But hey if you can get those votes in swing districts thats all that matters in the end. A few thousand steelworker votes are more important than all votes in California for POTUS2020 so expect more of the same.

I hope you appreciate that this is a very disingenuous argument. the Californian voters would get a lot more attention if they didn't all vote the same way every time.
