I had a great opportunity today to talk about steel tariffs and “Made in America” legislation w/ Governor @MittRomney . Both topics are very important to our company & Mitt was happy to listen and anxious to help.

@realDonaldTrump @Lifetime As an industry leader helping to draft and now promote S118 in the Senate, @Lifetime Products is fighting to strengthen US jobs and US manufacturing. Steel tariffs will undo years of hard work!

@realDonaldTrump @Lifetime Steel tariffs will hurt US manufacturing jobs. We need fair purchasing capabilities of raw materials to keep jobs in America. 25% steel tariff bad for America. There are better ways.

@realDonaldTrump CEO of @Lifetime Products in Utah. We employ 2,000 people in the US. For 30 years we have worked to keep our jobs in the US. The proposed tariffs will drive many of our jobs to China. Our competition in China ship their products to US duty free with affordable steel.

9-11-2001 - The Picture That I Have Hanging On My Office Wall Eighteen years ago today, I was on my way to a meeting in downtown New York City. As we were driving into the city, the airplanes struck the twin towers and I became aware that America was under attack. (1 of 8)
