Trump's policies and lack of understanding is really taking hold -




The U.S. manufacturing PMI (purchasing managers index) was 49.9 in August, below the neutral 50.0 threshold for the first time since September 2009, according to IHS Markit.

New orders received by manufacturers dropped the most in 10 years, while the data also showed export sales tanked to the lowest level since August 2009, the data shows.

That is from your source!

That of course will end once free trade between nations is established!

Only if Democrat policies price workers out!

[Truman62]

They are ALREADY priced out, you moron!

NOBODY is going to hire a person for $33 an hour, when they can get a robot to do the same job.

If that were true all manufacturing would be wholly automated and it isn't!
