President Donald Trump is calling for manufacturing to return home to the United States as he vows that America's supply chains will never be "held hostage" by China, or any other country, ever again.The president made the pledge during a Fox News town hall that aired this week, during which he took questions from the public.

If anyone can do this, it would be DJT. Love this guy
Now wait a doggone minute - those jobs are gone forever - FOREVER! They will NEVER come back.
I know this is true because the greatest orator ever to hold the Office of the President of the United States - none other than the Honorable Barack Hussein Obama - told me so. And he is NEVER wrong.

The instant the ChiCom puke threatened to withhold medicine from America, it was a declaration of war.
It must be treated as such.
China’s economy and infrastructure must be destroyed, including NBA shoes.
More import tariffs. Then after that, more tariffs. Please do it.
He should take control of the damn Chinese owned farms and meat packing plants too, while he’s at it. So sick of the Chinese controlling our food.
I want to see Smithfield back in American ownership.
I can’t think of a better way to recoup some of the costs we’ve encountered as a result of China’s acts of war. Sadly, until the American people come to grips with what they did, we’ll continue to buy Chinese products, pay the higher prices, and pay the voluntary tax to the Fed’s.
At some point, though, manufacturing will shift elsewhere, and China will be the worse off for it - unless they buy up the foreign manufacturers. They’re not stupid - but this is war, and we need to be in it for the long game, just like they are.
“He should take control of the damn Chinese owned farms and meat packing plants too, while he’s at it. So sick of the Chinese controlling our food.”
Yea China did that with medical supplies, we should do the same thing.
To bring manufacturing back we must reverse 50 years of laws, Federal and State, which heavily burden American business. The face of some of these burdens go by names, such as OSHA, EEOC, EPA, IRS, the list goes on. Add to that trial lawyers who are assisted by laws they have themselves written through their support of cooperative elected officials.
Either we correct these problems or we will have to settle for a lower standard of living.
Should’ve been a priority out of the gates in 2017.
The swamp drowned us well before then it seems like.
To do that, you need across the board protective tariffs, like our country had for it’s first 180 years.
Targeting China alone, will just cause plants to move to other third world countries.
Elsewhere = the USA.
Hear hear!!!!
Tariffs now and then fix the other burdens later. No more excuses.
Well, I am just one American, but I am making a concerted effort (and it isn’t easy) to by American products whenever I can.
I have to pay more money, and the options are fewer, it takes longer to research and find them, but I for one am putting my money where my mouth is.
I think there are a few more out there like me now. Nobody has convinced me 100% there wasn’t malignant purpose behind this, and the Chinese response to all of this has made that a moot point.
America may not go to war with the Communists over this, but I as a lone American will.
I’m with you. I just sent something back to Amazon because it was made in China. If they can’t clearly mark where an item is made I’ll have to shop elsewhere.
What about the azzholes who sold out to them to begin with.
They could of said NO.
We MUST get rid of all the Bush League Republicans that got us into the situation of being reliant on a communist country.
