Just another point to show the irrelavency of this. Obama told the country we should accept manufacturing jobs were gone forever and were not coming back!
Actually he said "some jobs are just not coming back." And that's true. He said that in regard to steel production jobs. And Trump has not been able to keep them up to the level Obama had.

Trump showed that wrong and has gotten back hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs your hero Obama said were gone forever!
See above. Not just that. Trump promised to bring back coal mining in W. Virginia. Even killing all sorts of regulations that kept mines from dumping toxins into rivers didn't help:

If coal miners get much more of his "help" there won't be a mining industry.
The president of United Mine Workers of America said Wednesday that the coal industry is not "back," despite President Donald Trump's claims.
Cecil Roberts said at an event in Washington that his message to Trump and others running for president in 2020 is: "Coal's not back. Nobody saved the coal industry." He said coal-fired plants are closing all over the country, calling it a "harsh reality."

One more lie. And the miners take the hit for his incompetence.
