Full Post: "I am on my way to the Great State of Ohio, which I love and WON BIG three times, to visit Thermo Fisher, a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company, that is investing $2 Billion Dollars in U.S. Manufacturing, and bringing GREAT paying jobs back to Ohio from overseas. Thermo Fisher is doing this because of my America First Trade Policies, most specifically TARIFFS, which charge other Countries for access to our Markets while protecting our important Industries, and strengthening our Supply Chains.

After that I will be heading to the wonderful Commonwealth of Kentucky. See you soon!"
