The manufacturing jobs that were totally eliminated over the last twenty years are not coming back. Most (85%) were lost to automation, the rest (15%) went off-shore.
The jobs of those manufacturing workers that were laid off because of the recession have been coming back. The recession officially ended in June of 2009. The economy has been growing ever since then, even under Obama. Proving once again that the president has less influence on the economy than most people think.
Trump inherited an economy that had been growing for 7 years. The rate of growth increased some after the election simply because a Republican in the White House increased business confidence, not because of anything he did.
