As someone who grew up in the Rust Belt, my feelings about Trump are very similar to those described by the interview subject. I'm sure there are many from my community who feel similarly.
There are many problems with Trump, but his anti-free-trade policies alone are enough to make me seriously consider voting for him, regardless of the obvious issues with both Trump as a person, and the rest of his platform. That should tell you a lot about the amount of economic pain free trade has caused to the place where I grew up -- basically my hometown's area's been in a depression for as long as I can remember, things still haven't recovered from waves of plant closings stretching back to the 1980's.
