The White House issued a proclamation declaring October 2, 2026 National Manufacturing Day, crediting President Trump with what it calls the greatest reshoring of manufacturing in the nation's history. The document cites $11.2 trillion in secured investments, 112,000 new factory construction workers, and 72,000 manufacturing jobs added so far in 2026.

It also touts the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which makes the Small Business Tax Deduction permanent and allows full expensing of factory and equipment investments, plus a claimed $2,500 annual wage surge for manufacturing workers since Trump took office, reversing what the proclamation describes as an $850 decline under the prior administration.

The proclamation calls on Americans to celebrate entrepreneurs, innovators, and workers who are, in its words, making American manufacturing bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A proclamation is cheaper than a factory, and this one spends like it knows it. $11.2 trillion is a number so big it stops meaning anything, and that $2,500 wage surge comes with no receipt a body could check. When a man tells you his crop doubled and won't show you the field, you nod polite and count your change on the way out.
