The administration is incapable of differentiating between... manufacturing output and manufacturing employment.
Output has been going up and up... until around 2018 when it peaked.
I wish someone would ask the administration 'hey so if we have a factory with ALL robots'... that produces tons of stuff but with few workers is that what we want?
They never say if 'bringing back manufacturing' refers to people or just making stuff because one doesn't necessarily mean the other.
The other thing they never say is if the new 'manufacturing jobs' pay well. For it to pay well, workers need training and lots of it and... where is it?
China leads the world in robotics by a huge margin - they can build them far far far cheaper than the US can.
When China is automating manufacturing anyone who wants to compete must also- especially when US wages are still far higher than Chinese wages.

tell that to the trump administration. they seem to think that manufacturing... is basically the same as it was in the 1960s

Yes hard to know the logic behind what they are doing unless preparing for war and needing to reduce dependence upon Chinese dominated supply chains.
