I hope every Trump voter living near a factory chokes and dies on the extra pollution they voted for.

Irrespective of who votes for whom, doesn't the USA have regulations to avoid or limit such serious industrial pollution?
You may already know the USA helped create the international environmental-protection accreditation, ISO 14001. That is not itself regulatory but guides national governments in creating such laws, and industries to comply with them.
As its title says, ISO14001 was created by the International Standards Organisation, including the USA as a fully paid-up member according to the ISO's own web-site - as are most countries.
Such compliance naturally benefits those in and around factories; but modern, properly-operated industrial plant should not be polluting its surroundings anyway.*

*(My own employer started working towards gaining ISO14001 recognition, in the last couple of years before I retired. Its work produces no significant "pollution" as such; but the accreditation also covers proper disposal of waste materials, and reducing electricity, gas and water consumption by more efficient use. The latter of course, is commercially beneficial too!)
