When we talk about 'bringing back jobs' we are talking about the aggregate numbers. If jobs are ended in China and then the same company creates a new job here in the USA that is 'bringing back jobs', and if the aggregate of the entire trade economy has 50k jobs in US owned corporations ended over seas and 90k created in the USA by different US companies, that is still a net aggregate 'bringing back jobs'.
No one imagines a specific drill press job being closed in Beijing and then brought back with the same machine to Akron Ohio as being the only case of 'bringing back jobs' that counts here, unless they are an idiot.
The aggregate job growth will come from two goals; reduce job loss and enhance job creation. The means of accomplishing this task can come about through:
A. Reduce job loss by
.....1) incentives to slow pace of automation - a Robot Tax to replace lost job income tax revenues combined with a tax break specifically tied to Americans employed.
.....2) incentives to reduce off shoring and reverse it. - penalize those who dump Americans to boost profits and reward those who share the responsibility and burdens here in the USA.
B. Enhance job creation by
......1) Reducing government imposed burdens on job creation
..........a) end Obamacare
..........b) end excessive regulatory constraints like the ridiculous anti carbon regs and anti-energy regulations, especially coal.
......2) Easing job creation threshold by reducing risks and costs
..........a) keeping Prime Interest Rate low
..........b) reducing taxes to increase disposable income and grow Consumer Markets
..........c) invest more spending to improve US infrastructure; internet access, roads, ports, etc

Trump Lays Out Seven Steps to 'Bring Back' and 'Create' Jobs for FL Crowd - Breitbart
1) Withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks which have yet to be ratified. - this reduces the potential loss of jobs due to off shoring via the TPP.
2) Appoint the toughest and smartest trade negotiators to fight on behalf of American workers so that we make great trade deals - this reduces the potential loss of jobs due to off shoring.
3) Direct the secretary of commerce to identify every violation of trade agreements that a foreign country is currently using to harm American workers, of which there are many then invoke penalties of these trade agreements in order to level the playing field. this reduces the potential loss of jobs due to off shoring
4) Tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that horrible agreement signed by Bill Clinton to get a better deal for our workers. - this reduces the potential loss of jobs due to off shoring and brings back many jobs lost to our trade 'partners'.
5) Focus China as a currency manipulator and as a country that engages in the practice of unfairly subsidizing certain companies.... Any country that devalues their currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States and all of its companies who can’t compete will face tariffs and taxes to stop the cheating. And when they see that, they will stop the cheating. this reduces the potential loss of jobs due to off shoring and will bring back many jobs
6) Going to instruct the United States trade representative to bring trade cases against China, both in this country and at the WTO, World Trade Organization,” he continued. “China’s unfair subsidy and its behavior is prohibited by the terms of its entrance into the WTO, and I intend to enforce our rules.
7) Ending government corruption - this will reduce business costs and boost job creation.
