In an attempt to garner more low information (ignorant) voters, The Felon Guy touted his plan to boost the economy to his Hate Fest attendees in Savannah, Georgia. His latest scheme is to take away jobs from other countries.
"This new American industrialism will create millions and millions of jobs, massively raise wages for American workers and make the United States into a manufacturing powerhouse."
PBS:
"With the vision I'm outlining today, not only will we stop our businesses from leaving for foreign lands, but under my leadership, we're going to take other countries' jobs," he said. "Did you ever hear that expression before? Have you ever heard that we're going to take other countries' jobs? It's never been stated before. We're going to take their factories — and we had it really rocking four years ago — we're going to bring thousands and thousands of businesses and trillions of dollars in wealth back to the good ole' USA."
"We're going to use our resources to our benefit," Trump said, also touting fewer environmental regulations around manufacturing. "And it'll be clean and environmentally perfect so that American — and Americans can manufacture everything that we need, the resources we have right here, American soil. It's got everything: it's got the rare earth, it's got the oil, it's got the gas. We have everything — the only thing we don't have is smart people leading our country."

As usual, The Felon Guy offered no specifics on how he would accomplish his lofty goal of taking away jobs from other countries other than his usual go-tos, tax cuts and tariffs, which he does not seem to grasp, on foreign made products.
"I want German car companies to become American car companies. I want them to build their plants here," Trump said.

Trump pledged to appoint a global manufacturing ambassador to convince foreign companies to move to the U.S. He also said he would create special low tax, low regulatory zones on federal lands for American-based manufacturers.
It is unclear what federal lands would be offered to foreign companies under Trump’s plan, or how such an arrangement would work. If land remains in federal hands while foreign companies operate on it, those companies could in theory be exempt from property tax.
