But many of America’s unions are supporting Joe Biden, who would gift American manufacturing to China and Mexico. The choice could not be clearer on November 3rd. Vote for President Trump.

The American worker is being betrayed by criminal Union leadership who have endorsed Biden.

Revealed: President Trump Presided Over the Largest Manufacturing Boom in a First Term Since the 1970s

The following is an excerpt from 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know About Trump, the new book by Breitbart News Entertainment Editor Jerome Hudson.

50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know About Trump is due out October 27 and available for purchase here. The excerpt is from pages 254-258.

President Donald Trump constantly committed to reviving American industry during his 2016 presidential campaign, promising that he’d bring back jobs that the country lost due to unfair trade deals. His loud appeals to blue-collar laborers went a long way toward putting him in the White House, even though they garnered ceaseless skepticism from the establishment media, mainstream economists, and his predecessor.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said weeks after Trump’s election that the president would never bring back lost manufacturing jobs. Krugman declared that “nothing policy can do will bring back those lost jobs. The service sector is the future of work; but nobody wants to hear it.” At a PBS town hall in June 2016, former President Barack Obama poured cold water on Trump’s promise to restore a manufacturing jobs sector that’d been slowly picked apart for decades. Obama contended that decades of America’s diminished dominance in manufacturing was proof of a larger global trend. “Well, how exactly are you going to do that?” Obama asked rhetorically. “What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it. He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.” It was Barack Obama who oversaw a stagnant and declining manufacturing sector during his eight years in office. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Obama’s economy produced less than 100,000 manufacturing jobs across the nation during his last two years in office. In contrast to Obama, manufacturing jobs started soaring shortly after Trump assumed office in January 2017.

Since the Trump Administration’s red-tape–cutting policies and the tax cut and reform law passed in December 2017, manufacturers added 467,000 jobs, more than six times the 73,000 manufacturing jobs added in Obama’s last two years.

Looking at Trump’s first two years, the revised BLS data shows that more than two manufacturing jobs were added for every one job added in government at the federal, state, and local level. In contrast, under Obama, almost five government jobs were added for every one manufacturing job.

Since President Trump took office in January 2017, employment in manufacturing has increased 3.7 percent. Over the same period during the last two years under President Obama, manufacturing payrolls grew by only 0.6 percent.

Justin Haskins, the editorial director and a research fellow at the Heartland Institute, noted in an op-ed in The Hill in January 2020 that Democratic lawmakers fundamentally misunderstand job creation. Instead, Haskins argues that what’s necessary for the economy to flourish is to allow business owners to operate with minimal government interference.

“What Obama and others in the Democratic Party didn’t understand—and judging by the rhetoric coming from the current batch of presidential candidates, still don’t understand—is that you don’t need a magic wand to grow the economy,” Haskins wrote. “All that is required are policies that give individuals and businesses more power to operate freely and that limit efforts by inept, greedy government bureaucrats in Washington to meddle and manipulate markets they don’t fully understand.”

She’s right, be very careful, there are things in life that you can’t ‘un-watch’. And some law enforcement people commit suicide after working on cases like this. A bottomless Hell seems to open up.

Yeah, better late than never. Many still do not understand Trump’s code of honor. Here are some core Trump values:
➡️ To live by honor and for glory
➡️ To despise pecuniary reward
➡️ To fight for the welfare of all
➡️ To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit
➡️ To keep faith
➡️ At all times to speak the truth
➡️ To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
➡️ To respect the honor of women
➡️ Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
➡️ Never to turn the back upon a foe

We see Trump fighting upon a battlefield, and we are distressed to see him so combative. But of course he was attacked first, in Russia-gate and other existential threats. “Never to turn the back upon a foe.”
And Trump will keep faith with us, so long as he is able.

The country was ACHING for a guy like PDJT to come along, he beat 17 other contenders, 15 of which were professional politicians. He did away with crippling trade agreements, instituted tariffs, eased EPA rules, and enabled business with tax advantages, including the ability to bring offshore money into the US.
The people have more economic independence now than in the last twenty-five years. The last three presidents just screwed the American people over, but good. No wonder he was elected.

Ding Gang is a China dissident, and a colleague of Rudy G’s. The Hunter video stuff that Pamela posted mostly comes from Ding Gang. “If you’re taking flak, then you’re over the target”.
