I wonder if he'll be AG or get a seat on the federal bench.

Don't be absurd !!!!!, the point is about manufacturing!!!! Geez

Someone always comes up with something silly, trying to deflect from the point, or they simply don't know any better than to come up with silly stuff.

Over and Over some people say stuff that only brings question to their own intellect, when they try to be clever or what ever their objective is.

I frankly don't think curtailing regulations and taxes will cause corporations to come back to the U.S. in a quanity to make much difference. They are in a glorious position and will not bend easily.

However I do believe a vigorous policy that forbids their products from our shores----or places a heavy tariff on them would get them to change their embedded position.

If they wish to remain abroad--they must sell abroad. Also if they are given a time limit to return and do not--permanently ban them from operating here or selling their products in the U.S.

Also our gov't.can offer incentives to establish new companies who legally agree to stay in the U.S. and wish to be an American company employing legal Americans.

I was genuinely curious as to how Trump planned on "bringing back" jobs to the United States.

More specifically, I wondered if Trump supporters knew what they were asking for. The corporations from which they seek salvation are operated on slave labor. And that is not hyperbole. Literal slave labor. Nike and Apple have both been documented (recently for Apple, more distantly for Nike) for their horrific work environments.

I mean, if being paid ten cents for 20 hours of labor, without breaks, and watching your children lose limbs in their factory jobs is what they wanted...

Otherwise, manufacturing is at an historic high in the United States:

Think nothing is made in America? Output has doubled in three decades - MarketWatch

I would like to believe "bringing jobs back" is a line we all know to be a standard GOP election lie. Who knows. Apparently many people are in fact quite invested in the idea that Trump will "bring jobs back".

My favorite line from that article: "the crude oil may come from Canada, Saudi Arabia, or North Dakota, but it's refined right here in America."
