'American jobs for American workers’: Bannon predicts supply chain return to US under Trump......
washingtonexaminer ^ | 5/20/2020 | Spencer Neale

Posted on 05/20/2020 7:32:49 AM PDT by caww

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told host Maria Bartiromo that Trump's administration is ready to turn the screw on the Chinese Communist Party and bring back pharmaceutical and physical manufacturing jobs to U.S. workers.

"American jobs for American workers," he said. "That's how we're gonna get out of this. And I think if you look at Powell on the asset side, you look at Mnuchin on the demand side, you look at President Trump on focusing on jobs, I think you seen them come together, and today's the opening.....People want this done rapidly, they want it done smartly, and they want it done safely. The American people demand it, they want to put politics aside, and I think President Trump's the right team, and I think they're headed in the right direction."

"President Trump's been a manufacturing president from Day 1," he said, adding, "You're going to see the supply chain, both the medial supply chain but also the deeper manufacturing supply chain that's going to start coming back here. And this is the key point: It's not talk, it's action, action, action. And I think that's why the American people sit there and say, 'Hey, this guy knows what he's talking about, he's putting his shoulder to the wheel, he's bringing American jobs back for American workers.'"

Let’s hope that this starts happening soon. Then get re-elected, take the House, increase the Senate and steam roll the Democrats in to oblivian

It should be a simple job for American economists in government to create a list of critical supply chains that must be 100% in America. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t exist already. I know it exists for some military technology parts.

I’d sure like to see Americans running companies like Smithfield.

Everyone has already forgotten that President Trump replaced NAFTA with USMCA.....AS PROMISED.

The Dems talked about it but did nothing.

I for one, would sure like to see ‘Press one for English’ dropped… or replaced with ‘Press one if you are only here for free stuff and too stupid to learn English.”

= = = =

That, and all of our Rx meds and med supplies.

Food and med, first....then, ultimately, the rest of manufacturing that we depend on the ChiComs for (electronics, parts, etc.)

As others have said...it could all happen, quickly.

The big problem for Trump is that the big corporations are hooked on obscene profits.

But pray he succeeds.

Two months ago it was announced that Trump was sending 200,000+ H1B’s packin. Has that been withdrawn?

We also need to stop printing ballots in languages other than English. Proficiency in the English language is a prerequisite to gaining citizenship.

Not that simple. Smithfield sold itself, we can’t just take it back.

The key thing is to follow a simple rule in the future. Build it in China for sale there and build it here for sale here. And use American standards. If Chinese are not going to accept American Disney productions as is then do a separate version for their market, as an example.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, a rule on Chinese companies looking to list here . . . a rule that says you a) can not be listed here if you don’t accept the FULL SEC rules and regulations and b) no active or passive investments in a Chinese company or inclusion in an index or ETF if that company is not SEC-compliant . . . NO EXCEPTIONS. Failure to follow means the company is UN-INVESTABLE to an American.

Of course... My grandmother came here in the ‘20’s and as part of the naturalization process, she had to speak and read English well enough to understand a ballot.

I guess now, they come only for the free stuff, then get their voting ‘how-to’ from Democrats on how to find their way around a ballot. That way, there’s no thinking or comprehension involved or needed.

I never inferred "take it back".

There may come a time when an American company can buy them out though.

We all pray that he does, but I think the best we will see is supply chain companies relocating out of China to other nations in SE Asia. The cost of American labor will make it so. That and given that many companies are truly international in ownership and operations, loyalty to America is no longer a given.

That was BEFORE Trump’s HCQ drug deal with Modi. Now the Trump administration doesn’t even oppose the illegal Obama Executive Order granting H4EADs spouses from India (96%) the right to steal even more American jobs.

Notice how the filthy H1B scabs were left out of Trump’s immigration ban?

That can be forced by law, just like former Iranian companies in the US...
