OPINION: TRUMP MUST SAVE GM'S OHIO PLANT, OR HE MIGHT BE THE NEXT TO LOSE HIS JOBThat may be one reason why Trump joined a coalition of Ohio lawmakers in efforts to get the Lordstown plant running again. Mike DeWine, a Republican, last week expressed doubts GM will reopen its Lordstown plant, but he said the automaker indicated it's in talks with another company about using the site. More than 16 million vehicles were made at the Lordstown plant during its 53-year history until GM closed it earlier this month as part of a massive reorganization.
