Four years after he won the Midwest by vowing to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing workforce, President Donald Trump is campaigning for reelection on a job well done. The numbers tell a different story.

Trump’s reelection campaign maintains that he has bolstered the manufacturing sector during his time in office, pointing to the hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs that were added pre-pandemic.

Trump “talked a lot about manufacturing, but the policies he engaged in were predictably damaging to manufacturing,” Hicks said. "As a result of the tariffs his administration imposed, “people buy less [manufactured goods], and if they buy less of them, that causes lower demand for employment.” “The returns from layoffs are probably over,” Hicks said. “And so if that’s the case, if we see a second term of the Trump presidency, I would expect manufacturing employment to not be able to crawl back to what it was at the end of the Obama administration.”

trump was, is and always will be a fraud. Maybe even some of his cultists are starting to pick up on it.

liar liar liar .... your father is rolling over in his grave!

Biden sent all jobs to China

Politico, you're a left wing joke of an excuse for a new organization.

So it took a pandemic to bring the levels of where Obama was after 8 yrs in office. Duly noted

Trump lies about everything. The only thing he doesn't lie about is that he is white, rich, he plays golf, he has his family in the Whitehouse, he leeches off of everyone including the Whitehouse itself and he plans to ruin 246 years of progress if elected for another 4 years.

Pathetic

About 20 to 25 years ago companies shut down moved overseas, most textile mills, auto industry, cotton mills, and countless more. Ship raw material overseas, finished product in return. That's why so many warehouses are being built around the country. It take time to build plants

He brought back 700,000 manufacturing, about 200,000 left from previous trade deals made from Biden obama administration.

Spoiler alert, no matter how hard the fake news media lies and spins to fit their DNC operative narrative, Trump still wins..

Evcoc54 For manufacturing workers or farmers in the midwest, voting for Trump is like shooting yourself in the foot.

You have to look at pre-pandemic in all fairness. Those numbers are great.

Rubbish !! Trump bring the jobs from China the enemy; meanwhile Dems exported all the jobs to China !!

Trump's new CORONAVIRUS PLAN is to let 3 MILLION people DIE in HERD IMMUNITY. With no vaccine, there is only one possible way to achieve herd immunity – mass infection allowing the virus to spread freely comes at the cost of many, many lives & even more unintended consequences.

Trump has NO clue .... period 🤦‍♀️😷

This article is dishonest ...

It’s good to see an article call it like it is. There are many challenges ahead to pull the county out of this deep recession. The trade policies alone have been an abject failure. It’s time to renegade with the global marketplace with new approach and end these policies.

Goodyear and oh yea, coal is coming back

Recently I received an online notice that I have been put on the Trump 2020 enemy list of internet politicians. They're monitoring me over at the White House. My followers and I will always stand up for what they hate, the truth! Follow Stay Updated / Keep Watching Big Brother

The story was nothing short of amazing until pandemic hit & it’s still better than the ‘glory’ days of BarackObama JoeBiden era. The numbers do not lie. The country has sustained during pandemic is due to higher incomes + stimulus since realDonaldTrump took office

This is a message that needs to be shared in the Midwest! And to be honest....how can there be any undecided voters left at this point!? It boggles my mind! Good luck USA with the upcoming election. The world wants you to do the right thing!!

The stark truth is that China set foot in the US 30 years ago, and with the agreement of both US parties, it has almost taken over the US economy. No one can criticize a particular party. Now, COVID presents a great opportunity for economically fair change in the home turn.

Why you think they loves him. Easy sell !!! Easy sell !!

Trump could take a dump on the desk in the oval office and his supporters would praise its size and smell

Trump defies virus restrictions with indoor rally in NevadaThe president on Sunday held a campaign rally indoors in Nevada at a manufacturing facility in defiance of the state's ban on local gatherings of 50 people or more. The Morning Joe panel discusses the rally. DT who claims to be the law and order candidate spited in the governor of Nevada’s face and defied Nevada’s regulation on how many people can be at an event. DT has no respect for any laws or regulations if it goes against what he wants.Spoiled baby cries and gets what he wants. TrumpKnewAmericansDied Nobody forced these people to go the rally, they did it by choice. Just like protesters on the streets & college campuses are breaking guideline rules. There are more people breaking the 'rules' than following them, especially the politicians who are 'enforcing' them.
