U.S. manufacturing is quite healthy and growing
Then why is it when I shop for almost anything - clothes, appliances, TVs, electronics, furniture, vehicles - the vast majority are not made in the US?

Because those are low margin, labor intensive products which are more cheaply made overseas in places like Asia. And that is why, regardless of what Trump says, you're not going to see that kind of manufacturing returning to the U.S.

Most vehicles sold in the US are made in the US. They just don’t have Big Three nameplates anymore.
