The only thing saving industrial production in this country since 2007, up less than 5%, has been fracking to mine oil and gas
It has had little to do with Trump or Obama either way, political support or no political support.
The only thing giving an additional recent boost to oil and gas was the 2015 bipartisan agreement to end the oil export ban, signed by Obama.
Industrial production from all mining categories is up almost 17% 2015-2019, and a whopping 53% 2007-2019.
Industrial production from coal mining, a subset of this like oil and gas, is down over 39% since 2007, and 21% since 2015 despite Trump's promise to restore the industry. Industrial production from base metals mining is up less than 3% since 2007. Industrial production from gold and silver mining is down almost 15%.
Industrial production from crude oil mining is up a whopping 140% since 2007, and from natural gas 79% from 2007 through November 2019 on an average basis.
Otherwise it's a sorry picture.
Industrial production from manufacturing is down 1.3% 2007-2019, despite Trump running on bringing manufacturing back to the United States.
And industrial production from electric and gas utilities has grown a paltry 2% 2007-2019.
It's all mining of crude oil and natural gas.
If the anti-capitalist climate kooks get their way, we're all in big trouble.

Liberals are 60% more likely than conservatives to have formal diagnoses of depression, 30% more likely to have self-diagnosis
Liberals are 60% more likely than conservatives to have formal diagnoses
of depression, but only 30% more likely to have a self-diagnosis of
depression.
More.

Whoever started the idea for offspring to leave home at age 18 or 21 is evil genius
-- Genesis 2:24
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
-- Matthew 19:5
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
-- Mark 10:7
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
-- Ephesians 5:31
A nation of brothers, a nation of usurers
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou
shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all
that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to
possess it.
-- Deuteronomy 23:19f.
Yoram Hazony didn't invent the reasoning: They inherited it from Saul the Pharisee, the co-opter of "Christianity"
Being chosen means you get to tell everybody else what to think, what to do, and how to do it. Of course, there's a charge for that.

[I]f the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree, do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you. ... For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree. ... For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
-- Romans 11:16ff.
