Today, manufacturing is revived... etc etc etc. Obama could have made that happen but didn't. In fact, he did the opposite. He ran around telling US Citizens and US Business that it could never happen again.
He was wrong about a few things. He wasn't wrong about environmental stuff. We should be protecting the environment. I stand by the numbers. You can qualify it any way you want, it doesn't change the fact that Trump's GDP and stock market numbers have been right on par with Obama's.

Also, Obama was right about most manufacturing jobs. Check this out https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/ces3000000001

As you will see, the numbers now are up, but still pretty similar to what they were in 2015. Now we get to watch as these jobs go away and are replaced with robots. That said, I'm glad people are getting to work today, but let's not crown manufacturing jobs as the Savior of the nation. Like the wall, it is a solution to yesterday's problem.

Once again, the Orange Agent has failed to actually do what people are giving him credit for.
