You have many incorrect points.
Firt of all, it's much less than a thousand jobs if you discount the white collar managerial jobs that were never planned to be relocated. The number of overall jobs saved is around 800.
Of those 800, a significant number of them will be eventually automated or are already in the works. So your ten year figure is, in my opinion, a bit overly optimistic.
It was a symbolic show. Even if Trump did a Carrier-type deal every month for his entire presidency, it would be far less than one percent of jobs lost due to automation and offshoring in the past 20 years.
