Frankly the US makes some amazing things.

Supply chains still originate outside US.
This is such an important point. Lumping all "manufacturing" together obscures that some production is low-cost goods like matches and socks. Other production is 787s and F-150s.
What the administration is suggesting is that we resume manufacturing low-cost goods. I'm not sure where they would plan to get the labor for that.
