Trump is a businessman. There is no money to be made with made in the USA. He knows this but there is little he can do about it until he can be president.

that's not the POINT!....he publically came out and said that he will bring jobs back to America. if he won't do it now with his own products, why does anyone think he will do it AFTER the election?...that's like religion saying that you'll receive salvation...but....only after you die.

Action he could have taken when? You are referring to his rhetoric. When did he start spewing his rhetoric about it? He has been running for a year maybe? Has he had a chance since then to attempt such a business? Why would he if he could become President and change policy and legislation making said busines actually work instead of starting a fail business to begin with?
When has he had a chance to follow through on his rhetoric? He has only been campaigning for like a year maybe.
Wouldn't it be better to lead by example by becoming president and changing policy and legislation that would make a much bigger difference? he knows the ins and out and loopholes better than any other candidate.
Yes, there are many manufacturing plants in the US that staff Americans. I work for one also, so is the plant next to mine. However What happened to Detroit? Where did the steel mills go? Where does the materials and parts come from that most US manufacturing companies use now? Why are many Chevy vehicles now made in their new plant in China? Why is Ford and Chrysler investing so heavily in Mexico? The last Iron working job I had most our steel came from China. Not only from China but from steel plants they bought from Pittsburgh and other places on the east side of the USA and assembled in china to sell us steel made from our old plants....

So leading by example isn't a thing in the world of Trump?
Labels are clearly marked in big box stores... you are correct and many items from India too. God bless the money they earn and families they support...US dollars converted to Rupees is like a few pennies... per day!🎐😢

Capitalism 101 = profit must increase.
So, the natural conclusion of Capitalism, as it currently exists on the planet, is for massive Corporations to emerge who control all resources and products that all humans either need or want. We already see this in industries such as Oil & Gas, Banking, Food, Communications, media and other global economic interests.

LOL, indeed.
This whole thing obviously is a little too complex for you to understand, so I'm going to be helpful.
Under the current business landscape and due to current legislation it makes far more sense to manufacture overseas.

The phone/computer he typed this crap thread on was made overseas too.
The OP thought he was being clever but all he did was show he doesn't understand basic business fundamentals and himself supports overseas low-wage factory slavery.

Unions were a problem they kept asking for higher and higher wages which eventually the product made here were too expensive to buy.

This only proves Trump's point about China.
Yes, Trump is powerless to do anything.Even his daughter cannot use American labor.
