Is Trump’s Manufacturing Comeback Real?

I think he's wrong about potential GDP growth. AI will dramatically increase the "labor" supply

My mother worked as a shirt factory worker when I was born back in the sixties. She said it was a miserable underpaid living. Everyday she came home drained & worn out. Grandma said she was even beginning to neglect me. These jobs are not beautiful jobs to bring back to America. …NEXT!!!

The only substantial remanufacturing going on in the US is the enrichment of Trumps family and entourage.

BYD isn’t going to make cars any cheaper in the US than OEMs unless this labor costs are much lower than you have the issue of poor wages.

The last American car I had was a Holden (GM / Isuzu) Jackeroo. Towing a caravan the gearbox started grating in 1st, completely blew up in the driveway of the dealer. Cost ten grand to fix it, used it a bit longer and the EGR valve threw up a Check Engine light. Got that fixed too, just to pass roadworthy to sell the damn thing. Now I drive a German car (VW) and it's been utterly BULLETPROOF.

Simple. No. Of fucking course not. 9:42 That's because Trump isn't TRULY a business man. He's an entitled, spoiled brat who inherited money from daddy. And by all metrics, drove that company into the ground essentially. Sure, he owns some fancy buildings (likely upside down on most of them, like the golf clubs and hotel towers) but, I'm pretty sure really any random dude could have done as good, if not better, being handed $400M. Shit, just investing that money into the S&P500 would have exponentially outperformed his "business" record.

what a joke, let's look at the basics. what type of manufacturing is Trump looking for? essential goods manufacturing? never going to happen, why? input cost too high, salary, materials, even higher now due to tariffs. who is going to buy essentials stuff that cost an arm and a leg? high tech manufacturing? again, salary, much cheaper labor in any other country than the US, materials, again much higher due to tariffs. worse, High-tech goods are not consumer goods and so demand in each country may not be enough to sustain the company, but if the goods are too expensive to be exported, then, why even manufacture it in an expensive place at all. notice that the most profitable American companies have most of their manufacturing outside of America. so no amount of BS will bring manufacturing home, needed fundamental changes in society to do that. blaming others will not help, worse, blaming people who still give you real goods for your worthless piece of paper is suicidal.

REALITY. Manufacturing is collapsing across America. 100,000's jobs lost. TRUMP TARIFFS HAVE CREATED GLOBAL CHAOS, CONFUSION & ENDLESS ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY! The global economy & American economy CANNOT operate on the whims, emotions & mood swings of a senile, confused ALWAYS ANGRY, tired OLD MAN! ALMOST 80 with obvious dementia & anger problems! The MYTH that Trump is a good businessman has been completely DESTROYED. The world is watching as America is collapsing morally, politically, legally, economically. So sad….

You cannot return mfg back instantly. Takes 5 years or more to do the funding and construction. And get real – the labor and utility costs in USA are several times more expensive compared to Asian locations.

„The rest will take care of itself“😂

Obvs these blokes are dangerous left wing radicals

Trump has driven manufacturing away by introducing uncertainty every step. First cancel incentives created by previous administration, then then do tariffs, then cancel tariffs, then do unlawful tariffs, change manufacturing strategy away from clean energy and then wait for the next administration to undo everything.

USA manufacturing comeback is like spotting unicorns and fairies on the streets…😂😂😂

The only comeback is manufacturing CRISIS.
