Rather than jawboning companies to make uneconomic decisions, Trump and Congress should instead work with major employers to train and educate workers.

The command-and-control crowd sees their livelihood flashing before their eyes.

What we do get is that the evil of leftist totalitarian socialism hates that we might gain back our manufacturing capacity and stop redistributing our wealth to failed nations and ruthless tyrant states.

In the backroom of Fortune magazine: “We’ve spent decades creating a desperate work force who will work for minimal pay with no expectation of a career or promotion! Now Trump is going to make them think that they should share in the fruits of their labor.”

Duh! Donald Trump is not even President yet! He is doing what he can before he is inaugurated! Once he is, he is going to focus on training and educating Congress and the media! ;-) Employers will get the idea by themselves! ;-)

Gee that’s funny. I didn’t know a ####ing thing about Graphics. Was the bookkeeper in the department.

Nice guy, Joe Rabinowitz, took a liking to me and trained me for six months, setting up a 20 year career.

Started paying me a (much higher) graphics salary while I still barely knew anything.

There’s your “training and education”.

Not these lies.

Trump is the very first truly patriotic American president I have seen since the first Bush.

The very first one.

There will be a whole lot of people who are completely unaccustomed to that, but I for one am very, very supportive of Trump, and I think he has been elected in the nick of time.

Oh this is total and utter B.S. A company is not going to invest in the U.S. because the President of the U.S. says they must. It is because he is going to make the business environment far better - slashing regulatory costs, getting health care costs under control, etc.

What we need is a 30% import tariff and let the “Captains of Industry” deal with it.

I want to stop illegal immigration, however, if there are not enough current residents to do the job because they’d rather stay in mommy’s basement or remain permanent college ‘students’ then I say bring on qualified immigrants, that meet the new tests Trump talked about.

Of course it would help boost the basement dwellers out if we would cut off their college loans and assistance. Then they might just have to work in the factories.

Note to Bill George, the American president is not our ruler.

Lower tax rates plus tax disincentives...makes economic sense

Fortune knows nothing about manufacturing

Based on the results so far, Trump’s bully pulpit is YUGE!

It seems to me that a company that was bailed out from bankruptcy, like GM, or that depended on US government business to survive, like Lockheed, should expect that they need to demonstrate a commitment to the very government and its citizens that make its economic survival possible. GM’s CEO can bitch about having to move its plants from Mexico to the USA when the Mexican government throws multi-billions of dollars at their operations, like the American taxpayers were forced to do.

“There is no doubt that Trump is winning the political game and shaking up America’s largest companies. But there is real danger that his pressure may corrode the competitiveness of U.S.-based global companies and cause retaliation by foreign governments.”

Folks, Fortune thinks America's competitiveness will suffer. It won't. The greatest expansion in this country happened with tariffs in place.

We will have much higher employment, much less crime, and the American work ethic will return. Families will be better off. Companies will still make cr@p in China to sell elsewhere just as cheaply as today. Excise taxes only affect imports to the US and how other countries tax our goods coming in which were made here.

This author is freakin’ clueless if he thinks 100% of US manufacturers will be made to make everything in the US.

Seems for an article about manufacturing they dove immediately into his use of twitter. THAT is the problems liberals have, that he doesn’t need their media anti-American communist propaganda machines.

unknown and unmentioned is what actually went on in the Trump CEO meetings.

What actually happened was Trump asked the question “ How can my administration be of help to your business to get things on track and make jobs?
