You do make a good point about the Rust Belt. We also worked in high-tech, though in our sector, a lot of that work was already being done overseas. We weren't immune to off-shoring. High-tech still has labor costs, and the cost of labor overseas is less. And other nations are producing fine engineers today. No need for the expensive American engineer. I agree with your implication that this is not a good thing. I don't believe this administration has made any of it better. If they even want to (I'm not convinced), they're going about it back-asswards.
Manufacturing jobs in 2025 went down significantly, losing over 60,000 jobs. This included 8 consecutive months of declines.
The thing that MAGA supporters are oblivious to (to their own detriment), is that Trump will screw anyone to steal a buck. Middle class Americans, manufacturing employees, farmers, they’re all just easy marks.
