Trump spoke to a crowd at the Mack Trucks<\/a> facility while accompanied by Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa., who represents the Keystone State’s 7th congressional district where the plant is located. Mackenzie is running for reelection and will face Democratic challenger Bob Brooks this fall.<\/p>\n The president touted the impact of his economic policies on Pennsylvania<\/a>, saying that they’ve helped boost job creation in the commonwealth with a particular focus on manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n “More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. And we’ve created over\u2026 32,000 new jobs just starting in Pennsylvania alone. But you have to get credit for that,” Trump<\/a> said. “And in the last few months alone, we’ve added 2,600 Pennsylvania manufacturing jobs, and that number’s going to go much higher as the factories start to open.”<\/p>\n JOHNSON & JOHNSON TO INVEST $1B IN PENNSYLVANIA MANUFACTURING FACILITY<\/a><\/p>\n President Donald Trump touted manufacturing jobs in his Pennsylvania speech at a Mack Trucks facility on Tuesday.

It was totally unreasonable and ridiculous, and you can sell trucks for much less money, that are much better trucks that work, that actually work.”<\/p>\n President Donald Trump at the Mack Trucks facility in Macungie, Pa., Tuesday.

Just that one,” Trump explained.<\/p>\n![\"Donald](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/donald-trump-mack-trucks-02.jpg\")
