    Please post your evidence that Trump has added close to a million manufacturing jobs. Here is the data from the BLS:

    In December, employment in manufacturing continued to rise (+32,000). Over the year, manufacturing added 284,000 jobs, compared to 207,000 in 2017. Durable goods accounted for 76 percent of the 2018 job gains, adding 216,000.

    That adds up to 491,000 for 2017 and 2018 combined. Obviously you have a much different source of information than the BLS.

    My apologies. Trump policies have only added nearly half a million new manufacturing jobs.:)

    "PROVE" TO WHOM??? You would deny sunrise if you thought it could be used against Trump. YOU are the only person who seems not to know that denial is all you have,

    Without any question at all, the stats on unemployment and new jobs are new records and exceptional- EVERYONE BUT YOU RECOGNIZES THAT.

    Obama told us that the manufacturing jobs lost to overseas were not coming back- but they are, AND EVERYONE BUT YOU RECOGNIZES THAT.

    What's more- EVERYONE BUT YOU RECOGNIZES THAT YOU FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THINGS THAT DON'T FIT YOUR SPIEL.

    You're done here. Due to lack of any contribution to rational discussion whatsoever, I ban you to the IGNORE list.

    Thank you. And honest man. And it is good to see some manufacturing coming back, but manufacturing will never again be as major a factor as it was in the blue collar employment pantheon. And I suspect that manufacturing jobs no longer have the significant premium in earnings they used to have over other types of employment back in the days when unions were strong.

    OK if they can't tell the difference between exxageration and lies, it gets really sad......

    Trump tells enough actual lies that no one has to to resort to this **** to call him out.

    Even a liberal can agree with that! You never have to even go back a day to find an actual lie unless he is on the golf course and then I bet he lies about his score.
