OSHKOSH, Wis. – Danielle Fairbank closed the tailgate of her fire-engine red pickup truck in a Target parking lot in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and offered a hearty “Fake news!" to dismiss reports that President Donald Trump paid only $750 in income taxes in 2017.
The assembly worker at a nearby military vehicle plant just as swiftly brushed aside the notion that Trump's tiny tax bill put him out of touch with blue-collar workers like herself.
Her job — which she's held throughout the recession and pandemic — is proof to her that the billionaire president is on the side of the working-class. “I know in my heart he's doing more for this economy, for people like me and for me personally, than anyone is giving him credit," Fairbank said.
