Latest St Louis Fed data continues to indicate downward trends in investments in new & existing manufacturing facilities—demonstrating the carrot is more effective than the stick. It’s explained in John Manzella's video@ https://t.co/r9BRbVrq83 & article@ https://t.co/xCCaKSbFmU

According to a Politico European Pulse survey covering Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Belgium, many Europeans view the U.S. as a bigger threat than China. We need our European allies as much as they need us. My June '25 video is very relevant https://t.co/iMfgn0HYob

Total number of employed, and those in mfg sector, declined since Jan 2025 (BLS data). Mfg jobs represent 7.7% of total. If subtract positions not directly in mfg—in-house accounting, marketing, sales—the number of direct mfg jobs is 4%. Automation will continue to reduce this.

The US is an unrivaled economic powerhouse. But policy shifts now threaten to undermine its core competitive advantages through three critical mistakes… and these mistakes are not being corrected. https://t.co/mFok0LrDhK
