Kentucky Voter Thanks God Daily That Trump Was Elected, But Wonders When Heā€™ll Bring Back Jobs

Residents of Beattyville, Kentucky, Americaā€™s poorest town, discuss their hopes for the Trump administration in a series of interviews with CNN news (video at link).
1-Melissa Allen, 34. (Beattyville, Kentucky)

ā€œIā€™ve lived in poverty my entire life. Thereā€™s really no hope. I donā€™t understand why the minimum wage here canā€™t be raised. I donā€™t get that. I hope it gets better. I really do, but I just donā€™t want to live on false hope.ā€

2-Donna Coomer, 52. (Beattyville, Kentucky)

ā€œHave you ever tried to live on $7.25 an hour? It was horrible.ā€ Ms. Coomer thanks God for Mr. Trumpā€™s presidential win, believing that his election is the beginning of some new era.
