Trump didn’t do anything about it either

That’s… unequivocally false.
Manufacturing job growth showed zero change in trajectory during his presidency up to COVID
You still failed to prove that he "did nothing"; choosing one particular metric that shows there was zero change does not mean Trump did nothing. It just means the trajectory didn't change, by this one metric.

You also don't account for the fact that there may have been a negative change in trajectory of that particular metric if not for Trump's policies and executive actions.

But, again, he absolutely did do things about it, these are all well documented. (As is the change in trajectory of public opinion towards offshoring thanks to Trump promoting them heavily.)
