Those jobs are never coming back. Even if we sealed the border and prohibited the import of any products from outside the country, we're not likely to get back more than 5% of the jobs we allegedly "lost" to these foreign countries.

I would rather get my middle class manufacturing full time job back, than working in 2 part time jobs with no health insurance and no retirement benefits.

I would love to have my grandfather's lifetime employment at a major U.S. manufacturer, but I would never want to have his standard of living.

Hello...wake up and smell the coffee...

Carrier, Ford, GM, Alibaba, Apple, and many others have already announced they will invest in American manufacturing over Mexico or other cheap labor countries.

And Trump is not even inaugurated yet. Nothing personal
at all against you, but Trump has probably done million times bigger deals with foreign countries than most of us here, so I prefer to believe him over naysayers.
