There is a false notion that a President can automatically create economic prosperity. A President can sign into law policies to help create an environment where jobs can be created, or veto bad economic policies, but a President doesn't create jobs.
Yet, people in rural America believe that by electing Trump, everything will be great. This is what the Grand Old Party has become, a big government progressive party that has now gotten a demagogue with a below average IQ into the white house.
I voted for Mitt Romney in 2012. I have not supported any of Obama's failed policies. But I have never questioned Obama's fitness to serve. I do so with Trump. Trump is not the answer.
To answer your question, Trump barely won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. It's impressive he did given none of those states have gone to a Republican in decades. But I think enough people in those states will realize that Trump is useless and will either stay home or vote Democrat in 2020. However, a number of Trump supporters will make excuses for him and some will buy it.
