Trump supports whatever he supports on a given day. He's as unpredictable as the weather. I'd expect volatility in what he supports.

FWIW, though, he manufacturers his merch overseas doesn't he? Seems like if he supported domestic manufacturing, he'd... use it?

That would fit into profits though. Money in his pocket is what he supports more than anything else.

"Official Trump campaign merchandise is made in the United States, which the website explicitly states. However, there is a market of unofficial Trump merchandise that is made in other countries and sold online and at rallies."

Not his campaign merch, though that's good to see I guess. He's got business lines in everything from food, to home furnishings, to apparel. Is that all manufactured in America?

What positions? He seems pretty consistent to me.

He said, on multiple occasions he was opposed to cutting Medicaid, but he did so. He signed a later saying climate change was one of the most extant problems the world faces then later called it a hoax. He said one of the most pressing concerns facing America was ensuring everyone had access tell clean water but repealed the clean water act. He was for universal healthcare, he was for lgbtq people, etc etc.

There are many many such instances.

He's been pretty consistent over last 10 years that part of MAGA is bringing back manufacturing

The details however...
