The Fate of Ft. Madison, Iowa

I was born (in 1936) and raised in this town. It used to have many companies in it, that hired many people. 

Not anymore, it is part of the Rust Belt, that Americans cannot understand, and resulted in the election of Trump, who promised to Make America Great Again. But made the situation worse than before. 

I have a  cousin, Betty Trip, who still lives there, but cannot understand, in the least, what is going on there, She only asks why her sons cannot get jobs.
