Trump and GOP have their work cut out for them. They have to make it attractive to build factories in the US.

And they have to do it quickly, in time for at least some of them to be up and running before the mid-term elections.

Because people who buy luxury goods worry so much about the cost?

BMW and Mercedes don’t seem to have a problem making SUVs in the USA.

IIRC, when we held the last Olympics, the clothing was made overseas....until someone said...hey wait a minute.

And I think it was Ralph Lauren...but that may or may not be right.

"The question isn't why you'd build a watch factory in Detroit, it's why you'd want to see American jobs go anywhere else. Through four Detroit winters, we've been working to bring manufacturing jobs back to Detroit and back to this country. We build our goods to last, but of all the things we make, American jobs might just be the thing we're most proud of."

"Why not accept that manufacturing is gone from America? Why not let the rust and weeds finish what they started? Why not just embrace the era of disposability? And why didn't we buy a warmer coat before we moved here? Through four Detroit winters, we’ve asked ourselves these questions."

These people were pre-Trump and they are wildly succeeding at making high quality watches and bicycles.
