He won Beaver County by 20 points in the 2016 presidential election, and Butler County by 35 points.“I'm going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, 'I hope you're going to support Trump,'” Trump told the crowd, adding, “Because if they're not, vote them the hell out of office because they're not doing their job.”Monday's event was an official visit of the president — not a campaign event or political rally — administration officials noted in a conference call Monday. He visited to heap praise on the construction project as an example of the economic benefits of natural gas drilling. Once the plant opens in the early 2020s, it'll begin processing ethane gas into a basic plastic material used in a large number of other plastic products.
