Rep. Dan Kildee, a Democrat from Flint, Michigan joined Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez at a press conference across the street from the Warren facility, where they correctly pointed out that President Trump (despite loudly proclaiming otherwise) hasn't done much to stem high profile factory closures by American automakers. That's not to say the Trump administration isn't paying attention, it is – it's just not doing a very good job of coordinating a policy response to restructuring plans from companies like GM and Ford that displace lots of American workers. Here's an example in action: Public officials near the recently shuttered GM plant in Lordstown, Ohio are scrambling today for details after Vice President Mike Pence commented publicly that an electric-truck manufacturer had secured the funding to buy the facility — an obviously important step before production of electric trucks could begin there.
