Donald Trump's win in November was the final nudge for one manufacturer to move its production back home from China.

For over a year, New York-based Trans-Lux -- which makes LCD and LED displays -- has contemplated relocating its Chinese facilities to the U.S.
"It makes economic sense," said J.M. Allain, president & CEO of Trans-Lux, which also makes the huge digital screens that run the tickers at the New York Stock Exchange.

But in the final run-up to the election, as Trump beefed up his tough talk on protecting domestic manufacturing at all costs, Allain considered making a change much sooner.

"Earlier this year, we didn't think Donald Trump would win," said Allain. "But we closely watched his campaign and listened to his protectionist rhetoric. His win forced us to reevaluate our plans in China."

Now with Trump's win, Allain said the company is accelerating its move back to the U.S., with the goal to make all of its products in America within a year.

At this rate we will have people actually making good money with real jobs. None of this bogus stuff that Obama has been part of

You guys prove daily that you don't pay attention and the only thing you admire is a big mouth.

"Sixty thousand manufacturing jobs were added in the U.S. in 2014, versus 12,000 in 2003, either through so-called reshoring, in which American companies bring jobs back to the U.S., or foreign direct investment, in which foreign companies move production to the U.S"

Not sure what your trying to prove, Can't blame Obama for 16 years

he's pointing out the flaw in EG's argument using just raw numbers... the same flaw that the Obama administration has been riding for the last 4 years. like when he (Obama) comes out bragging that people made more money on average this year than last year yet fails to mention that the average is still almost $2,000 lower than what we made in 2000.
