Trump is the only president to help bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, by imposing serious tariffs on China. None of the other candidates have balls to go against their rich donor class to do what Trump did.
Check my tag line.
We don't need tarrifs. If you want to bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, then repeal the myriad of EPA, OSHA, and other regulations that make it cost-prohibitive to make stuff here. Americans don't want to pay $2000 for a USA-made TV when a Chinese-made one costs them $200 and that's what you'll get with tariffs. And that's just another form of inflation.
Of course, Trump hired Scott Pruitt to do exactly this, take a blowtorch to the EPA. Unfortunately, Pruitt made liberals cry and Trump, always trying to please those who hate him, demanded Pruitt's resignation.
