Hardly anything is made in America anymore.
Just the other day I saw a little radio that said "Built In Antenna"....I don't even know where the heck that is....

Way back in the day.... in the 1970s, hawkers at trade-days and flea markets tried to make us believe that the tools marked "made in taiwan" actually originated in a place called taiwan, georgia.
I worked at two different automobile component plants in the 1990s, one domestic supplier and one nipponese..... All of our fasteners came from china but were repackaged in "union made in USA" boxes by Morbern of LeNoir City TN. for the American plant and Ohashi of Nippon for the other one.
Henry Arms of N.J. and W.I. boasts of being 100% U.S. made but every spring, screw, pin, washer, bolt and nut comes from china by way of domestic vendors who by flummery and repackaging intimates local manufacture.
I always wondered where the Maiden Taiwan was from, and whether she ever got married.

These days I'm pretty disgusted with many "American" manufacturers. Recently a company I've bought a very specific part from was bought out by a larger company. While the new owner is American, their quality control went to hell. The relocated from Pennsylvania to California
The first unit I bought had faulty welding. The weld cracked in less than a week resulting is a pretty nasty chemical mess.
The manufacturer promised they'd make a new one and send it out the next day. Three weeks later it arrived. Four weeks after that the metal used in the manufacture developed a pinhole leak. Obviously, they are now using chinese raw materials. I've had this happen before with chinese materials that aren't, by lab testing, what the manufacturer claimed them to be.
If Trump wants to make a change, he should see that "Made in America" means made here from materials made here.
Then a part from an ISO manufacturer really would meet the ISO standards.
