Except Trump talks about this in literally everyone of his rallies.
Trump has stuff made in China because it's economically unfeasible to have things made in America in today's age. This is why he wants to change the system.

Once you realize that is the demand of Americans that has created the current economic crisis then we can begin to make real changes. We aren't very good and understanding what it takes to supply the demands we have because we are egomaniacs and don't care to look beyond ourselves much. We just want more for less regardless of the side effects and our buying habits support that argument. Most of the successful corporate business in the world have some part of their business overseas yet we still can't make the correlation. Our media and education systems don't help with that but now with the internet we don't have an excuse. The information is out there to understand it yourself.

Obama talked about hope and change at his rallies...

Obama was backed by many many lobbyists and special interests. Trump is not.

Except you just pointed put the exact reason why this won't happen. Trump is a hypocrite. Practice what you preach. If he were that concerned over it his operations would be here.

He's a businessman first, he's running for president to make it economically feasible for companies to move manufacturing back here.
Like Bernie Sanders who pays his interns 12 dollars an hour?
