They understood that as a nation, we have common bonds with our fellow citizens and common obligations to each other.  Making and buying made in America products brings us closer, and strengthens the ties that link us all together.<\/p>\n<p>For too long, our government\u2019s policies have punished production in America while rewarding and encouraging the movement of production overseas, which is totally ridiculous.  The result has been the loss of numerous industries, the decimation of entire communities, and years of sluggish growth and flat wages.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout American history, our nation\u2019s best leaders have believed in the importance of protecting our domestic industry.  This includes every President on Mount Rushmore.<\/p>\n<p>George Washington encouraged Americans to produce their own goods so that our young nation could become truly independent.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Jefferson wrote that Americans should choose products made in America whenever possible \u2013 and by the way, I\u2019m asking you to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham Lincoln warned that abandoning the policies that protect American industry would \u201cproduce want and ruin among our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Theodore Roosevelt stated in his First message to Congress that \u201cReciprocity must be treated as the handmaiden of protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James Monroe called on our nation to \u201ccherish and sustain our manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James Garfield said of our nation\u2019s manufacturers: \u201cTo them the country owes the splendor of the position it holds before the world.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>William McKinley believed that when America protects our workers and industries, we \u201copen up a higher and better destiny for our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Calvin Coolidge stated that protecting American industry \u201cenables our people to live according to a better standard\u2026 and receive a better rate of compensation than any people, anytime, anywhere on earth, ever enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are now, under the Trump Administration, reclaiming our heritage as a manufacturing nation.  We are fighting to provide a level playing field for American Workers and Industries.  Other countries will cease taking advantage of us, believe me.<\/p>\n<p>We are going to build works of beauty and wonder \u2013 with American hands, American grit, and American iron, aluminum, and steel.<\/p>\n<p>No longer will we allow other countries to break the rules, steal our jobs, and drain our wealth.  Instead, we will follow two simple but very crucial rules: We will buy American and we will hire American.<\/p>\n<p>Already, we have created over a million new jobs this year \u2013 and doing even better than anticipated.  We are just getting started \u2013 believe me, we are just getting started.<\/p>\n<p>For every job that comes back to this country, and every factory that reopens, and every town that is revitalized, we aren\u2019t just restoring American wealth, we are restoring American pride.  We are restoring America\u2019s future \u2013 a future where millions will be lifted from welfare to work, where children will grow up in safe and vibrant communities, and where our nation will stand stronger than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>And most importantly, it will be a future in which you \u2013 our citizens \u2013 always come first. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America \u2013 we are truly making it great again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC&#8230;.My fellow Americans, On Monday, I signed a Presidential Proclamation declaring this to be \u201cMade in America Week.\u201d We believe that our country is stronger, safer, and more prosperous when we make more of our goods and our products right here in the USA.
