One of the central themes of President Trump’s campaign focused on the production, creation, and restoration of American jobs. In particular, he vowed to reestablish manufacturing jobs. Many manufacturing positions have fallen by the wayside as a result of faulty regulations and toxic trade deals. Back in February, President Trump signed two laws permitting NASA and the National Science Foundation to help women enter science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Critics and detractors of President Trump have called attention to what they perceive as problematic. As stated by the Washington Post, due to the emergence of robots, and other forms of artificial intelligence, the manufacturing economy can generate twice as much they did in 1984 with 33% less workers.
“Made in America” week is an excellent commemoration and many people will enjoy the recognition of products made in this country. President Trump’s decision to focus on what really matters, in spite of the mainstream media’s attempts at sabotage, is what his voters and supporters counted on when electing him into office. This week looks very promising and American workers who have contributed their skills and labor to the private sector and economy will receive the recognition that they rightfully deserve.
