The US has, by far, the largest manufacturing output in the world. We’ll likely lose that to China at some point, but that will take time.

Our steel output is pathetic. I consider the ability to make steel a critical factor in national security. We are at third world levels in steel production.

If you don't think our heavy manufacturing base and our ability to produce critical war materials has been seriously degraded by Free Trade™ than you are just plain stupid.
