President Donald Trump announced on Monday that David MacNeil, the founder of WeatherTech, will be his Special Envoy for Manufacturing — putting one of America's best-known factory owners in charge of helping bring production back to the United States.
Announcing the appointment, the President wrote: “I am proud to announce that David MacNeil, the GREAT American entrepreneur and founder of WeatherTech, will be the Special Envoy for Manufacturing! David has built an incredible American company that makes outstanding products, RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S.A. He knows how to create jobs, bring Manufacturing back home, and put America First. Together, we will bring back American jobs, strengthen our factories, and make sure that future products are MADE IN AMERICA. Congratulations David — Your unparalleled expertise is vitally needed!” The announcement was posted on Truth Social on Monday afternoon: https://www.trumpstruth.org/statuses/43536
WeatherTech, based in Bolingbrook, Illinois, makes vehicle floor liners and other automotive accessories, and MacNeil has built the company for decades on exactly the model the President described — American factories, American workers, and products made in the U.S.A. rather than imported. He now takes on a roving envoy role focused on manufacturing: advising on how to expand domestic production and draw more of it back from overseas.
For American workers and the towns that depend on factory jobs, the appointment puts a man who has actually kept production at home in the room where manufacturing policy is made. Every plant that opens or returns means shifts for local workers, orders for local suppliers and tax base for the communities around them — and the President's stated aim for the role is more of exactly that: stronger factories and future products made in America.
