Under Donald Trump, over the last 12 months, the U.S. economy has added more manufacturing jobs than any other 12-month period since 1995. This is especially impressive because under Obama we actually suffered a net loss of manufacturing jobs (from 12,561,000 in January 2009 down to 12,369,000 in January 2017, for a net loss of 192,000 manufacturing jobs).
