I disagree. Toyota and other foreign manufacturers deserve drastically more credit. They pioneered on-shoring for US manufacturing, as a practical solution to several big problems, decades prior.
A US manufacturing renaissance has regularly been touted in the business press for a decade, since it became apparent natural gas was about to become extremely plentiful and cheap. If the Trump Administration succeeds in lowering the corporate income tax rate to ~15%, they'll prompt an accelerated manufacturing expansion in terms of output; an increase in manufacturing jobs will be very subdued but will also likely come with it (it'll be a drop in the bucket compared to job creation spurred eg by the natural gas & oil boom, or renewable energy).
Tesla gets the award for among the best PR when it comes to US manufacturing.
