BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has toured a Michigan plastics manufacturing facility while promoting a promised Trump administration industrial renaissance nationwide even as jitters about rising tariffs and steep drops in consumer confidence and financial markets point to the opposite. Vance was in Bay City, known in the 1800s for thriving sawmills and shipbuilding concerns that have long since closed. Speaking at Vantage Plastics, Vance vowed “a great American comeback” has started and said the Trump administration will “make it easier and more affordable” to manufacture things in the U.S. again. Vance also urged patience before the Trump White House’s economic policies take hold. About 50 protesters held signs criticizing the Republican administration.
