Trump can't lose if he keeps manufacturing jobs coming back to the U.S.

Who is Killing American Manufacturing?

“This is strictly a business decision,” Nelson told the jeering workers. It wasn’t because of anything they had done. It was just that Mexico allows corporations to exploit its people in ways that America does not. Its minimum wage is 58 cents an hour, while the United States requires at least $7.25. For now, at least. Some GOP president candidates (Donald Trump) have said they think that’s too high.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) ensnared Mexican and American workers in a race to the bottom. And the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free trade deal among 12 countries instead of just three, would place American and Mexican workers in an even worse competition. They’d vie for jobs with forced and child labor in places like Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Under NAFTA, cheap American grain shipped to Mexico without tariffs destroyed peasant farming. And that prompted migration north. Meanwhile, American factories saw desperate Mexicans willing to work for a pittance, a government unwilling to pass or enforce environmental laws, and because of NAFTA, no tariffs when the goods were shipped back to the United States. That propelled factory migration south.

Before NAFTA, the United States had a small trade surplus with Mexico. That disappeared within a year, and now the annual trade deficit is approximately $50 billion.

GIANT SUCKING SOUND..........Yoda was right.

Obama spoke for the globalist dems when he said many times that manufacturing jobs are gone:


Obama Responds To Questions About Carrier: Some Jobs "Are Just Not Coming Back"
But Obama said manufacturing jobs wouldn't come back...

Trump is at least trying to bring jobs back to the U.S., including protecting workers from unfair tariffs
10 Companies That Are Bringing Jobs Back to America
American companies bring jobs back to the U.S., and Democrats smirk
Apple Is Paying $38 Billion to Bring Cash Back to the U.S.

The MSM, the Left, and the globalists, keep hammering Trump on peripheral issues. In 2018 and 2020 they will be as surprised as in 2016 when the populists win again. The reason will be that the economy requires that Trump stay the course on bringing jobs back. It took time to move 12,000 factories overseas, it will take time to bring some of them back. People vote their pocketbooks, period, it really is the economy....stupid.

So your first article from Jan 17, 2017, what's the progress?

The entire point of the thread is that the dem/globalists (and establishment GOP) are very happy supporting moving jobs overseas and pocketing K-Street cash. Saying that the US economy is a "service economy". Like they get paid for fellatio. Trump OTOH is at least trying to bring good paying jobs back to the US, including making sure that tariffs are fair. Trump deserves credit and support for opposing the globalists.

Trump IS a globalist. His clothing line is all manufactured offshore. He imports workers from Mexico for his resort properties, claiming he can’t find hotel maids or cooks in the US. He has properties all around the world.

He’s also on record as wanting to do away with minimum wages and other employee protections.

His steel and aluminum tariffs could cost the US 150,000 manufacturing jobs. Farmers in the Midwest are panicking as China has cancelled soy bean orders and instructed their farmers to increase production.

The trade war will cost Americans billions in higher prices on imported goods and lost jobs.

The steel and aluminum tariffs only mean that more US steel and aluminum will be used. Many construction jobs require that US steel be used, so its not overly expensive using US steel instead of cheap subsidized imported steel. As Secretary Ross stated, the finished product cost will only increase a fraction of a percent in most cases. The tariffs will be a good test of policies. If you are right Trump will lose in 2018 and 2020, if he is right, he will win....stay tuned....

It all comes out in the wash in November and 2020. Will Trump create more jobs than he loses? Will more factories move here than leave? Will the tax cuts mean higher wages and investment income? Stay tuned...

The Trump administration has collected more than $775 million so far from its metal import tariffs, as lawmakers from both parties blasted the duties and said the process for requests by companies for exclusions must improve.

The tariffs President Donald Trump imposed in March have generated $582 million from steel imports and $195 million from aluminum as of last week, and the combined total is expected to top $1 billion within the next six weeks, according to the Commerce Department.

While Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross defended the tariffs at a Senate Finance Committee hearing Wednesday as a necessary action to protect U.S. manufacturers that's already brought about the re-opening of steel plants, senators criticized the duties as the wrong approach that draw harmful retaliation, hurt the American economy and businesses with higher costs.

Months ago..........LOL............Been a year and a half........

Why does Dem mental midgets still push she lost because of Russia Routine then..............Do you challenge your own Dems on that.......I haven't seen that.

You’d have to ask them. I imagine because the 17 intel agencies said they did, Trump’s advisor Stone said he knew Podesta was being hacked, and as it has come out, numerous campaign officials had meetings with Russia that they lied about.

Trump mouthpiece Hope Hicks from November 2016:

USA Today:

Hicks, responding to public statements by multiple Russian government officials that they had indeed had regular contact with the Trump campaign throughout the election, gave the Associated Press a blanket denial. “It never happened. There was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign."



Where are you when the obvious trump supporting racists are flinging their shit up against the wall. Do you challenge them? I haven’t seen that.

Giving Hillary exoneration before she and key witnesses haven't even testified........Do you challenge them........ROPE A DOPE NOPE

Of course she doesn't challenge them.

Few, if any, challenge their own political ideology here. I do call people out on when I think they are out of line. You guys do not. Ever.

No, Samantha Bee's vulgarity isn't equivalent to Roseanne Barr's racism
They say Trump is corrupt



Can you guys give any evidence of you doing the same?

We’ll?

Please show us you calling out your fellow conservatives.


If you can.

I’m betting you can’t.

Just as I figured; you got nothing.

Theres this thing called automation that will continue to decimate jobs. The right has no position on it. Giving away the farm to get some of those jobs back is a terrible mistake. Training for new jobs is the key.

You do understand that the 775 million is paid for in the end by the people that buy the metals, or in other words the American people.

So, what you are cheering is an additional 775 million in taxes paid this year.
