Like zero net immigration. Asking Trump to what Coolidge did not in '24 is unfair. You voted for the guy, your grade should at least be fair.
Coolidge hadn't campaigned for President primarily on an antiimmigrant platform. Trump made big promises in that area. I allow for the possibility of getting partial credit if he gets part way to the goals.
It might be more accurate to try to figure out a way to measure "good" jobs - aside from the traditional measure of "jobs that pay more than what you're worth" - so it wouldn't have to be tied explicitly to manufacturing.

I thought your list included things you didn't want?
