Four years ago, 89.7% of Americans had health insurance. By 2019, that number had dropped to 86.3%; then 5.4 million more Americans lost their health insurance in the middle of a pandemic.
Four million hospitality workers haven’t seen a paycheck since March while retail sales jobs are still down by 600,000.
Employment in manufacturing at the end of August was still down over 700,000 jobs. In fact, there are now 200,000 fewer manufacturing jobs in America than when President Barack Obama left office
Obama put more than 12 million Americans back to work, inheriting a labor force of 139 million and leaving with 151 million. At the end of August 2020, Trump shrank the workforce he inherited from Obama by 10 million, to 141 million.
CAFE standards of the Obama-era that created the environment for massive reinvestment in the U.S. automotive industry after 2012, adding more than 200,000 new manufacturing jobs in that industry alone.

Today, the global steel industry is in crisis because of massive overcapacity. In 2016 world steelmaking capacity was 663 million metric tons greater than demand or almost 30%.
By comparison, the U.S. only produces 80-85 million metric tons of steel in the U.S. As a result, global prices have collapsed. Trump has no strategy, he is not saving manufacturing, auto industry, steel or coal mining. @realDonaldTrump literally ruins EVERYTHING.
