Trump got close by promising infrastructure, and infrastructure of any kind from bridges to steel-box buildings depends heavily upon iron and hence iron ore. As it turns out, the infrastructure that Trump promotes is mostly privatizing the public sector, so the only iron likely to be put to use would be in installing toll gantries on existing free highways, including those already in existence. Having to pay a $20 toll to drive 20 miles on a road on which you do not already pay a toll and finding that the only improvement is the snob value of paying more for what you get is a raw deal for working people. They found out, and now they despise Trump. Wanna pay $20 for tickets to a Twins' game only to pay $100 in tolls to get to the Twin Cities?
People did not realize what a raw deal Trump was in 2016. They do now.
