I agree with this. Say what you want about Trump's mean tweets, but he was an America first President, and we don't have that now. And probably won't in the future.

Yep. He tried. Which is more than I can say for Beijing Biden.

Listen, dumbass, Obama said this thing in 2016, that "those jobs are not coming back. Trump doesn't have some magic wand". You, stupidly, believe that shite. And what did Trump do? Waved a magic wand called...LOWER TAXES. And what happened? POOF, those jobs Obama said were never coming back, came back.
Manufacturing job growth was the same under Obama as Trump.
quote:
Here’s what the data actually show about the purported “blue-collar boom” under the Trump administration: The U.S. gained roughly 500,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs from 2016 to 2019. But these gains are exactly on par with gains across the entire economic recovery period from 2010 to 2019, during which 166,000 manufacturing jobs were gained each year, on average. The 2016–2019 gains did not represent an improvement over prior years in that decade, and even the decade’s overall gains had managed to restore only a fraction of the jobs lost in the prior decade.

Those manufacturing jobs gained under Obama were coming from the floor(out of a recession), it had nowhere to go but up.

Cash business makes for a nice way to legitimize income.
It was comical the number of hand wash places that opened up in town. Everybody knew what it was, but nothing ever happened beyond a random arrest and back to work.

These decisions are going to keep Ohio trending more and more Red. Blue Collar hard working Americans are walking away from the Democratic Party and their union overloards. Ohio gets it when it comes to economic issues. I keep saying this and i remain firm on it, the Rust Belt is turning more and more Red. Every time the media tells you the South is turning Blue, just remember, its these kinds of decisions that people in the Rust Belt are voting on. If it weren't massive voting irregularities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin...Trump wins again. This map explains whats truly going on in the Rust Belt/Midwest.

I work in automotive so here's my perspective:
The tariffs are putting a huge dent in the industry. My company loses millions every month due to it so OEMs like Ford are probably losing 10x that. Why put a plant in the US when you can go to Mexico for cheaper labor and no tariffs?
And it's not really feasible to localize to the US. It takes years to make supplier changes and half the time the US suppliers still aren't competitive.
If the tariffs stopped, maybe Ford would still move, but I'd bet they wouldn't.
