It's also a combination of  a lot of industries going to the wall - coal and steel being two major examples and the ongoing automation of jobs, those issues have affected both the UK and US. Quite how people believe Trump will bring those jobs back is self delusion, coal is a 'dirty fuel' and who will buy it? As for steel given the Chinese running us all into the ground with their cheap products, unless there are massive state subsidies - surely an abhorrent concept to Trump how can those jobs be rejuvenated and who will buy? Here the government could help by using British steel for big infrastructure projects but they won't. How anyone can seriously believe for one minute a billionaire has any concept of how real people in these blighted areas live is a mystery to me, to him they are just voting fodder, and he has fed on their very real feelings of bitterness. By the time everyone wakes up to reality so much damage will have been done and there will be genuine suffering for many groups.
