time. He claims to bring back the jobs and I feel badly for those workers in areas where many factories have closed those jobs probably will never return. There has been lots of automation and upgrades and the number of workers has been forever reduced. The retraining will be the way to go. Trump will not be able to return those jobs. He also buys steel from China for his construction. On the coal industry, gas is replacing many of the needs formerly fueled by coal. The industry I worked in for many years has been overtaken by automation, where hundreds of workers was required to accomplish the job now there are a few people and some computer locations which requires less workers. We can not look forward to going to work where our parents and grandparents career is a thing of the past. Trump is lying when he says he is going to bring back the jobs.

They care about those jobs while driving Honda's and shopping at Walmart. Everything at Walmart is made in China except for food.
