January 30: Trump highlighted the strength
of the auto industry, saying he "halted government mandates that crippled
America's auto workers, so we can get the Motor City revving its engines once
again."
But the auto industry's recovery
began years ago. If anything, the comeback has lasted so long
that it's starting to level off: US car sales fell in 2017 for the first
time since 2009, coming in at 17.2 million vehicles. They had set a record in
2016 of 17.6 million cars sold.
Still, the industry is healthy. Car prices are going up, and people are buying
more expensive models.
Those trends didn't begin when Trump took office. The Obama administration
bailed out General Motors and Chrysler in 2009. What followed was the industry's
longest period of sustained growth in decades.

It's largely accurate that manufacturing jobs have been on a roll
... manufacturing jobs are only slowly recovering the ground they have lost
since the 1980s, and especially after the Great Recession in 2008 and 2009.
Here’s the long view of manufacturing employment in the United States:

18: At an October 2016 campaign rally in Warren,
Michigan, then-candidate Donald Trump promised that not one plant would be
lost on his watch. Now, just two years later, General Motors says it plans to
shutter five manufacturing plants and lay off up to 14,000 workers. The
General Motors facility in Warren — where Trump made his campaign promise — is
among the factories being closed.

30: Foxconn's change of plans in Wisconsin undercuts
Trump's promises on manufacturing
President Donald Trump went quiet on Wednesday as a deal that would have
delivered thousands of new US manufacturing jobs -- and for which he took credit
-- began to crumble.
Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn said it is looking at rewiring plans to
invest $10 billion in a high-tech manufacturing plant in Wisconsin. Instead of
hiring the blue-collar workers Trump promised to put back to work, Foxconn is
now instead planning to
recruit researchers, designers and engineers into a "technology hub" rather
than opening a factory -- a move that caught state officials off guard.

5: Donald Trump’s Broken Promises in Lordstown
On the campaign trail in 2016, the billionaire told GM workers their jobs were
safe. Soon the Chevy Cruze plant in Ohio will close
While the commitment Trump made to [G.M. Ohio workers] might have been
simplistic, the president’s broader efforts to bolster manufacturing,
renegotiate trade agreements, and address trade imbalances have been complex
and, in some cases, successful, according to half a dozen economists and
experts, liberal and conservative. The most recent jobs
report showed that 304,000 jobs were added in January, 13,000 in
manufacturing. Since Trump’s inauguration, the total number of Americans working
in manufacturing has
risen by at least 473,000. The unemployment rate has fallen to 4 percent.
