Dale pointed out that during Trump's presidency, approximately 178,000 manufacturing jobs were lost, but this was significantly less than the losses under previous presidents like George W. Bush, who saw about 4.5 million job losses. He emphasized that many of the job losses under Trump were tied to the Covid-19 pandemic, which created an economic shock across industries. Dale highlighted that before the pandemic, the Trump administration actually gained around 414,000 manufacturing jobs, showcasing that the narrative of him entirely failing in creating jobs must consider broader economic contexts.
Dale remarked, "If you're going to say something is simply factual, it should be factual. This is not. It's not true that the Trump presidency lost more manufacturing jobs than any other presidency." He emphasized that while Walz's claim was meant to be striking, it lacked accuracy. Dale elaborated that more manufacturing jobs were lost than during Trump's term under past presidents like Eisenhower, Ford, and Reagan, which contradicts the suggested notion that Trump holds the record for job losses.
