Trump is not a politician... he's a businessman. He wants to continue modernizing and improving our military, manufacturing, making things in the US, and increasing exports. Well, most of the stuff we have sent Ukraine, Taiwan, etc. has been the old stuff that we would have to actually take back to the manufacturers to disassemble and get rid of or stick in a boneyard. Instead, we just gave them away. The military had to stick a dollar amount on it but really it was just them getting rid of old crap and creating space for the new stuff.

With manufacturing take a stab at what segment of that is BOOMING at that moment and is creating tons of high-paying jobs... arms and armament so why kick an industry in the teeth when it is doing exactly what you want from it?!
