Let me clue you in on a little-discussed fact about American manufacturing: it's highly automated and has been for the past 30 years. I should know, I worked for a company that was a market leader in automating manufacturing. You can bring manufacturing back to America all you want, you're not bringing back jobs. You also aren't have any trading partners. Sorry dude. That era is over. It's as futile to bring back as trying to bring back chain mail to modern warfare.
