The factory sector came roaring back in President Trump’s first full month in office.
Industrial production in the United States surged in February, rising 0.7 percent, more than triple the 0.2 percent increase economists had expected. The latest data from the Federal Reserve marks a significant expansion in industrial activity, with total output reaching its highest level on record.
Manufacturing output, which accounts for roughly three-fourths of total industrial production, rose 0.9 percent, the largest monthly gain in a year. A particularly notable driver of February’s expansion was the auto sector, where motor vehicle and parts production jumped 8.5 percent.

Thoughts? I am always interested in what country club, RINO, chamber of commerce, free traitors have to say...
The good news just keeps Rolling in!

America needs more nazis like him.
Maybe we can get some new good looking cars for a change .
I can already see the spin….. “How a strong manufacturing report is not as great as you think it is.” Lol
Trump is a blessing. But nothing he has done in his new term helped drive this record. Industrial output is based on years even decades of investment and government policies.
With tariffs some industries will be protected and win. Others will lose. Aluminum smelters will win. Beer bottlers will lose. Steel makers win. Steel fabricators lose.
Winning!
