Trump likes to proclaim that his trade wars and tax cuts fueled his own manufacturing renaissance. The pandemic shock put an enormous dent in that, however, and over his four years in office the US actually lost a net 75,000 manufacturing jobs.

Even if you strip out the 2020 pandemic year, the picture isn’t as rosy as Trump or his supporters portray. Manufacturing employment under Trump peaked at 12.8 million in January of 2019, more than a year before the pandemic hit, and 43,000 factory jobs were lost in the 12 months after that peak.
