COLFAX, Wis. — President Trump came to Wisconsin late last month to boast about the state’s unemployment rate, which has been at or near 3 percent for more than a year.
It’s a message that strikes a chord with Bubba Benson, who lives paycheck to paycheck but says that is still better than where he was a few years ago after getting laid off from a shoe warehouse “when all the jobs went to Mexico.” His new job at a plastics manufacturing plant covers the bills and pays good overtime. There are even a few extra bucks in his paycheck now, which he credits to Mr. Trump’s tax cut.

Bubba's Song/
when jobs go to Mexico
this country goes to blazes/
a man can't even afford a
can of Copenhagen anymore/
my wife she needed a
beautician's license/
but couldn't come up with
fees for the course/
that sucked/
but Trump gets in
and we both got full time
jobs/
you think I won't vote for him
again/
my kids wear Pampers now
not Luvs/
American dream here we come
