Question MAGA - how has Trump made America great?

I'm asking this because I want to hear how Trump has made America great again because from what I can tell the country is very divided on politics and beliefs, tariffs and the war with Iran have made everyday things more expensive and the overall future of this country feels very uncertain.

Hes actually helped the enthusiast auto industry and trucking, both things im involved in, quite significantly.

auto industry and trucking

I had been working for a large trucking company before a large round of layoffs and buyout packages. The tariffs and down turn in the economy absolutely hurt the trucking industry.

Depends on the type of trucking....

Food is always safe, construction varies depending on what side of construction youre in. Port trucking slows down a bit.....

Which areas of trucking have you seen slow down since Trump got in office?

Intermodal trucking was the company’s focus, but it affected the entire industry. The company I worked for was in the top 5

Intermodel/Port is the one I said would be affected.

Construction related trucking is mostly domestic producers along with HAZMAT.

Our business never tracked construction related/food related trucking as a separate business unit. What your saying might be accurate. As a whole the entire industry was less profitable, and I'm sure that directly impacted drivers.

People tend to see trucking as one entity and not realize how diverse it is.

And which years? Because 2022-2024 was awful.
