Bessent Says Trump To Boost Factory Jobs

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move designed to jumpstart American manufacturing and cut government waste, President Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has unveiled a bold new plan that shifts laid-off federal employees into factory jobs—reviving the nation’s industrial strength and restoring pride in Made-in-America goods.

In an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson, Bessent said the Trump administration is aggressively reshaping the economy with a dual strategy: reining in federal spending while creating thousands of new manufacturing jobs right here at home.

“President Trump is rewriting the rules of trade to favor American workers,” Bessent explained. “At the same time, we’re reducing the size of the bloated federal government and channeling that labor into real economic output.”

Bringing Jobs Back to the American Heartland

The administration’s strategy is built on a foundation of patriotic job creation through steep tariffs on foreign goods, encouraging companies to manufacture in the United States rather than overseas.

Bessent says artificial intelligence and automation will ease the transition by reducing labor strain while enhancing productivity. More importantly, the move reduces dependency on foreign supply chains and boosts economic resilience.

“This is about protecting the American economy from future collapse,” Bessent said. “We’re redirecting resources from big government into the engine of real growth—the private sector.”

Tax Cuts, Trade Reform, and Economic Revival

Trump’s economic team is also eyeing major tax cuts for working families and small businesses. The new tariffs, expected to generate up to $600 billion in revenue, will help offset spending and fund critical domestic priorities.

“What the last administration did was pump up artificial growth,” Bessent noted. “It looked good on the surface, but it was unsustainable—like a bodybuilder on steroids. We’re building real muscle this time.”

Despite temporary drops in the stock market following the announcement, the White House remains confident. Officials believe these measures are essential to safeguard against long-term economic risks.

Securing America’s Financial Future

Bessent compared the administration’s approach to upgrading airline security after 9/11—necessary, proactive, and potentially lifesaving.

“We’re putting the reinforced doors on before the crash,” he said. “This administration will be remembered for avoiding a financial catastrophe by taking action when it counted.”

Confidence Growing Among American Workers

While corporate elites and globalists may object, many working Americans and small manufacturers are applauding the move. Confidence is rising that the U.S. is finally returning to its roots—rewarding hard work, restoring industry, and reducing reliance on foreign imports.

As President Trump continues to lead the charge for a stronger, self-reliant American economy, many are calling this the most pro-worker administration in modern history.
