Yes, it's from October. But some posted facts will neutralize the chatter coming from southeast Asia.

First base. Batter up! MAGA!

First order of business for President Trump was bringing manufacturing back from China. Many years ago, probably when Clinton was President, the Chinese bought and packed up our shuttered steel mills. It has since been one of my nightmares that the US couldn’t fight a world war without Chinese manufacturing.

I’m very patient. If our steel mills are put back to work, and coal mines, and oil production, then we have a better chance of stalling the onset of the next world war. With Mattis quietly going about rebuilding the Armed Forces, maybe my grandchildren will have a future to fight for.

Maybe.

I used to track factory capacity utilization as an early indicator of industrial market softness, because when factoris have unused capacity they are not going to make new capital investments or purchase additional plants and equipment. In the early 2000s it was running less than 50% every month, look at it now:

Thanks to Trumponomics, manufacturing is returning to the US and new capex spending is occurring as factories need to expand. MAGA!

Markets are really reacting to the uncertainty of a dem House fighting against Trump. Lots of other things are being floated, but they are small compared to a dem House.

Make Michigan great in manufacturing again and then maybe we’ll have something to MAGA with.
