There's nothing wrong at all with the idea of course, and lets face it, the United States really needs this.
What he has to do here though is watch the cost. No matter what, the cost of increasing manufacturing and production of things cannot include jeopardizing your health (and mine) by damaging the environment.
Or course, building a new factory somewhere could destroy trees for example, but this too must be seen as an actual cost, and that company should pay that cost by planting new trees somewhere, or paying to have new trees planted.
This cost applies to its carbon footprint too. If a manufacturer in the US adds CO2 to the air, this is a cost that must also be paid.
Everyone wants to see more jobs of course. What Trump seems to be doing though, is pushing for jobs in the wrong sector at least when it comes to energy. Coal as a source of energy is dying out because its just too expensive compared to natural gas and other sources. Trump, for all his bragging about his money-brains, should realize this.
Cheers!
