Nonsense. Trump supports domestic manufacturing.

Trump supports whatever he supports on a given day. He's as unpredictable as the weather. I'd expect volatility in what he supports. FWIW, though, he manufacturers his merch overseas doesn't he? Seems like if he supported domestic manufacturing, he'd... use it?

  He's been pretty consistent over last 10 years that part of MAGA is bringing back manufacturing The details however...

  That would fit into profits though. Money in his pocket is what he supports more than anything else.

    He said, on multiple occasions he was opposed to cutting Medicaid, but he did so. He signed a later saying climate change was one of the most extant problems the world faces then later called it a hoax. He said one of the most pressing concerns facing America was ensuring everyone had access tell clean water but repealed the clean water act. He was for universal healthcare, he was for lgbtq people, etc etc. There are many many such instances.

    Not his campaign merch, though that's good to see I guess. He's got business lines in everything from food, to home furnishings, to apparel. Is that all manufactured in America?

But he thinks the way to spur domestic manufacturing is via tariffs of overseas chip makers, not via government investment. He talked about this when he was interviewed by Joe Rogan before the election (I read a writeup, did not listen to it)
