Check Out The Greatest American Made Products From Across 50 States

President Trump has never been shy about his love for America.

Or for his desire to put America first.

Which is why it should come as no shock that he recently held an event at the White House

to praise American made business owners and their American made products.

However, the mainstream media has reported very little if not nothing about this event.

Regardless, the President and his staff praised these entrepreneurs for their passion, entrepreneurship,

and their American made first class products.

The White House said the following in a press release,

"This week, President Donald J. Trump hosted his second "Made in America" product showcase

at the White House.

In a tribute to American workers, President Trump invited companies large and small from

all 50 states to join this year's celebration on the South Lawn.

See what great product represented your state below.

What does it mean to be 'Made in the USA?'

For a product to be called "Made in USA," or claimed to be of domestic origin without

qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be "all or virtually all"

made in the United States, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

"All or virtually all" means that all significant parts and processing that go into

the product must be of U.S. origin.

That is, the product should contain no—or negligible—foreign content.

'American heart, American sweat, and American pride' "I remember, when I was growing

up, I'd see 'Made in America' all over the place," President Trump said at the

showcase.

"Everything had 'Made in America.'

And we're starting that again."

That story of American renewal was one of three big messages the President delivered:

American manufacturing is back.

Nearly 350,000 manufacturing jobs have been created since President Trump took office.

An industry survey shows that optimism among U.S. manufacturers recently hit an all-time

high, as did expectations for employment growth and capital investment over the next year.

For years, Washington put workers last.

"They did nothing.

They let our factories leave.

They let our people lose their jobs," the President said.

"That's not free trade; that's fool's trade."

But under President Trump, all nations are held accountable and must play by the rules.

Tough action is already paying off.

The Trump Administration secured key changes to America's trade agreement with South

Korea, including provisions to increase U.S. automobile exports.

And just this week, President Trump announced that the European Union would work with America

toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial

goods.

The businesses who joined President Trump at the White House this week are part of these

success stories.

"We are here today to celebrate the greatest products in the world—products made with

American heart, American sweat, and American pride," the President said.

Boots from Texas, snowboards from Colorado, F-150 trucks from Michigan, baseball bats

from Pennsylvania—see some of the great products that are being made right here in

America."

President Trump did not just hold an event but he also spoke at a rally recently where

he described what it means to put America first and the importance of incentivizing

and promoting made in America businesses.

Real Clear Politics reported,

"President Trump visited Granite City, IL on Thursday to address employees and tout

the success of a recently reopened United States Steel mill.

"We're here today to celebrate a great victory, a victory for all of you, for this

community and for our entire country," the president said.

"After years of shutdowns and cutbacks, today the blast furnace here in Granite City

is blazing bright, workers are back on the job and we are once again pouring new American

steel into the spine of our country."

Trump said 'Made in America' is not just a slogan, but a way of life.

"Made in America.

It's not just a slogan but a way of life," the president said to steelworkers.

"I remember when I was growing up, 'Made in the U.S.A,' it was on everything.

It was on everything," he said.

"A country, Czeckolosavkia, a long time ago, people used to take single dollar bills

and they used to paint them and paste them onto the windshield of their car because it

represented America.

That's all coming back.

That's what's happening.

Made in the U.S.A., made in America.

We're proud of it again."

From his remarks:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: That's a great song, isn't it?

Well thank you all, and I'm thrilled to be here in Granite City with the incredible

men and women of U.S. Steel.

Great company, great company.

(APPLAUSE) And we love our steel workers, and our steel workers are going back to work

in record numbers, you notice?

(APPLAUSE) We're here today to celebrate a great victory, a victory for all of you,

for this community and for our entire country.

After years of shutdowns and cutbacks, today the blast furnace here in Granite City is

blazing bright, workers are back on the job and we are once again pouring new American

steel into the spine of our country.

(APPLAUSE) I want to thank Secretary Ross who's here with us today and Secretary Acosta.

And they've been fighting for your jobs, for our jobs for a long time.

We're also joined by the three true friends of American steel workers, Representative

Mike Bost, Rodney Davis and John Shimkus.

Fellas, thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE) They fight for you.

I'll tell you what, those three people fight for you all of the time.

In fact, they fight so much that I sometimes say I don't want to take their call today.

(LAUGHTER) But they're with you all the way.

Very special people, hard-working Congressmen.

I also want to thank the President and CEO of the United States Steel corporation, David

Burritt.

David, thank you.

(APPLAUSE) And David actually gave me a couple of words when I walked in, and I said you

know what David, I'd love you and Doug Matthews and some of the folks that you want to bring,

if you want to bring anybody, come up here, I want to shake your hand."

President Trump has made it clear that made in America is not just a slogan, just like

putting America first is not a campaign rally song.

It is something he believes strongly in and something he will continue to fight for because

it is in the best interests of the American people.

The American people deserve a thriving economy where jobs are abundant and so are choices

and products.

By promoting made in America products and putting America first in his trade negotiations

he is ensuring that American workers get a fair shake and that they are continuously

employed.
