Trump's reinstating coal production back into the mix will bring some jobs back, but those are mining jobs, I'm not sure how much that will help the U.S. steel industry. From what I see they want to bring back some clean-burning coal plants, as they are much cheaper than any green alternative energy source. It's just cheaper to make steel in other places now.

My point is America is not equipped to compete with most of the world to manufacture most mass produced items and the factories to produce them are long gone. I'm talking about things like clothing, electronics, cars, shoes, everything that's left the American manufacturing world in the last 40-50 years, because it's cheaper to make somewhere else. I don't see any of those jobs coming back to this country, simply because it cheaper to make somewhere else with their cheaper human labor. That's why it left in the first place.

IMO the real danger humans face going forward is manufacturing going to robotics. That's rapidly becoming the new manufacturing trend and will even put more people out of work going forward. Maybe we put the Chinese out of business by letting robots make things, but I have a feeling putting the plant in China and letting them run the robots is the way they'll go. It's still cheaper.

IMO after Trump's term is up and he's graded for all the job creation he's been touting to achieve, he'll score poorly in what he's done, especially if we see this probable depression that's on the horizon.

He can't bring jobs back to this country by implementing tariffs or border taxes. That's been tried already and it doesn't work.
