Trump promised to stop factory jobs from moving overseas. In just the four months following Trump’s swearing-in in January 2017, at least 11,934 American jobs were moved abroad or were in the process of leaving the country. On top of GM’s layoffs, Ford recently announced it would be restructuring and firing workers. An estimated 12 percent, or 24,000 of Ford’s 202,000 workers, may lose their jobs.All things considered our economy is doing great. There were a couple short term layoffs at my job (not me, im to "essential") but everyone has been back for a while now and were running like nothing ever happened. Most everyone I know is working. Markets are strong. I dont see ridiculous inflation on anything (gas, food, durable goods, etc).
Manufacturing went into recession in 2019. You must not know many people. The economy is 2/3 what it was at the beginning of this year. Trump has managed this country right into a plague-induced economic depression.
