Mostly not in China, some in America, but mostly in many different countries that have companies that specialize in that specific product, for most of the whole world's sales. We are part of a global market. President Trump has done an excellent job at getting us a larger market share. Try to prove me wrong.

There are over 13 million people in America in manufacturing jobs. That is not a few. The number is climbing up under President Trump's leadership.

"President Trump has done an excellent job at getting us a larger market share. Try to prove me wrong."

It's impossible to prove a negative, Keith. I'm more interested in your proof for the claim you make here.

The article link you added doesn't appear to support your claim.

The article linked was to refute the dishonest and erroneous claim that all of President Trump's accessories were made in China, which the liberal media written article does quite well.

James, you should just look a the current financial numbers. If you looked at more primary source, unadulterated facts, you are clearly smart enough to become conservative. Try to let go of your hate of the man and look at what he has accomplished.

Excellent advice although I doubt it will be taken.

My suggestion to this country is to do away with CREDIT CARDS … that way everyone would have to live within their means … I found out the hard way when I retired and now am not able to work a part time job or make extra money trapping …. I was making more per hour week in 1960 than I am now on retirement … !!!! Think about life situations you have no control over. I buy what I have money in hand to buy … !

Why shouldn't Russia be readmitted? I think it was a mistake to remove them.

I have a little experience along this line... Try to find an American manufacturer who will produce a ball cap with a custom monogram. Especially one who can provide the volume you would need for the MAGA hat popularity.

My boss has looked and looked. He wanted a mesh snapback with the company logo embroidered on the front... He found one company and they made him a half dozen samples... But they must specialize in little league ball caps because with the adjustment set to the largest setting it won't fit most people's heads.

It's not as easy as one would think.

Manufacturing is flourishing in the USA with fewer employees and the trend will continue and most likely speed up due to necessity as younger workers don't want to train to do the higher tech manufacturing jobs that is where the labor force is going. Below is one link that discusses just one aspect of this issue.

Most liberal arts majors enrolled in college would earn more, with a huge amount less debt, if they went into a skilled trade. People in skilled trades are looked down on by many Americans, so teenagers keep going to college to obtain non useful degrees. Last week, the local news announced that in the Columbus, Ohio area alone, there are over 20,000 unfilled, high wage, skilled trade jobs. High school guidance counselors and parents should steer more young people into the trades. We need to lose the stigma that you are less if you work with your hands.

Through a comprehensive and rational immigration program we could fill those jobs but then that would take away most of the thunder of the opposing views and their issues for raising monies for their causes. Many times we get exactly what we are looking for and then complain about getting it.

I know I would like a Zenith or a Philco come back. A lot of our youngins don't have pride in our great Nation, our Old Glory, our Anthem and such but they are so talented. I wish some of them would get right and get with it. I also wish our Nation would make a way for them to be able to get with it. Don't take a degree from the indoctrinating academia, just a want and a way.

Absolutely right ! I believe that a lot of community colleges should transition to trade schools. When you think rationally, if that's possible anymore..... why would one go into debt for a PhD in lesbian dance theory when they could learn a trade that will pay them well for their life time ?

I dont think it would take long for a American company to make something that will actually last.

There are a few like that but there alot of hard working young people in these parts. My 4 sons dont stop and their ladies are the same. I do see the occasional 25-30 year old living at home doing nothing but they are a product of their environment. You know the type that allow their kids to raise themselves?
