Trump Campaign Doesn't Hold Back After Major Factory Closure In Small Town Iowa - 'No Working American Buys Kamala & Walz's Bullsh*t'

Earlier this year, a Tyson Foods pork factory in Perry, Iowa, shut down, leaving a large percentage of the small town jobless as the company shuttered its doors after the company found that it was too expensive to upgrade the facility to match modern standards. The factory, which was opened in the 1960s and was taken over by Tyson in 2001, was responsible for providing for 60 percent of the families living in Perry, meaning its closure has devastated the community as inflation continues to wreck the economy, a fact that the Trump campaign was eager to highlight.

"THIS is why no working American buys Kamala & Walz's bullshit about being for the 'working man.' They don't care that Dads are in tears because they don't know how they are going to provide for their family. The plant generated 200K/year in tax revenue to fund the police and fire departments, the local school district. It's gone now," the Trump campaign stated on X. "2 other Tyson plants closed this year. 6 closed last year. Trump & Vance are fighting to protect these communities from people like Kamala and Walz."

"The Tyson plant in Perry, Iowa, is the town's largest employer — employing 60% of the town. The plant just closed because of Kamala's inflation crisis," the campaign added. "Kamala is killing the American dream. President Trump will end Kamala's slaughter of America's towns and suburbs."

The Tyson plant fired 1,300 employees leaving many of them stranded in the one-factory town. "None of us picked this, and I just want everybody to be OK. Because I know how hard this is going to be for a lot of people," Joe Swanson, a nearly 14-year veteran of the plant, told CBS News. "You have the power to make sure that you find the right opportunity that's going to benefit you and your family."

While two hundred of the Tyson employees at the Perry plant were able to relocate to other facilities in Iowa and out-of-state, the small town is looking for any signs of hope following the closure. "Maybe we were hoping for a miracle at first, where we can just turn off the lights on June 28th and turn them back on with a new user. And that's simply not the case," Rachel Wacker, executive director of the Greater Dallas County Development Alliance, explained.

The closure of the Tyson Foods factory in Perry is part of a pattern seen in small towns across the Great Lakes states as communities attempt to cope with the devastating impact of factories closing down due to rising costs. Manufacturing jobs were once the lifeblood of the American Dream, and the Trump-Vance campaign wants to ensure that the American Dream can be obtainable again rather than out of reach for so many hard-working citizens.
