Trump is like a black cat for workers

Three companies Trump visited announce layoffs; two to move jobs overseas


Boeing, Carrier and Ford announced this week that they are making moves that contradict Trump's claims he had saved jobs at those companies.

President Trump's stated plans to bring back and preserve American manufacturing jobs hit two more snags this week. Boeing and Carrier announced hundreds of layoffs — despite Trump's visits to their plants and assertion that he had saved many of those jobs.
The news follows Ford Motors' announcement this week that they will be moving production of their best-selling Ford Focus to China.
Yesterday, Carrier said that it would be laying off 600 workers and moving jobs to Mexico — much the original plan before Trump's visit.

Last Dec. 1, then-candidate Trump visited Carrier's Indianapolis plant and said he had struck a deal convincing the company to preserve 1,100 jobs there. That became a frequent topic in Trump's campaign. "They're going to have a great Christmas," Trump told cheering steelworkers.
"And by the way, that number is going to go up very substantially as they expand this area," he said. "So the 1,100 is going to be a minimum number."
"The jobs are still leaving," said Robert James, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999 this week. "Nothing has stopped."
After the layoffs, the plant will employ 200 union members.

Meanwhile, Boeing is planning to lay off 200 employees. President Trump visited the company's South Carolina plant in February to mark the debut Boeing’s 787-10. There, he threatened a “substantial penalty” on companies that shift their operations overseas.
“As your president, I’m going to do everything I can to unleash the power of the American spirit and to put our great people back to work,” Trump said at the time. “It has to be much easier for manufacturers in our country, and much harder [for them] to leave.”

On the campaign trail, Trump criticized Ford for its plans to move jobs to Mexico. On Wednesday, Ford officials said that in 2019, they will move production of their popular Ford Focus to China instead. “Consumers care a lot more about the quality and the value than they do about the sourcing location,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of global operations. “iPhones are produced in China and people don’t really talk about it.”

The White House has not commented on the planned moves.

If Trump crosses path with your company, beware, your job might be in jeopardy...

Are you so cotdam simple minded as to not realize that these companies base their decisions on tax breaks and economic policy? Also Trump is going to renegotiate NAFTA. Trump has made promises to companies based upon lowering the corporate tax rate and easing regulations. Congress has to act on his proposals before they can have an effect.

Ultimately, an administration can put forward their agenda and hope it is effective. Trump hasn't had that chance yet with all the distractions whining snowflakes and leftover deep state apparatchiks pulling stunts against him.

It has been 5 months.

He'll get there. He's been a real black cat for the financial markets.

Doze 401k's tho.

You suck, France sucks, eat a bowl of dicks.

You can say what you want, find every possible excuse for it, it doesn't change the fact that Trump bragged he would keep those jobs and those factories in the US and now they are leaving, just like he said they wouldn't

Also Trump is going to renegotiate NAFTA

Ok, let's say he will, it doesn't mean the new agreement will be much more favorable ot the US. Canada and Mexico are not gonna bow don to Trump and accept all he asks. When negociating an agreement, if you want something, you have to foffer something of equal vallue in exchange...
Not even mentionning that this is just one more agreement that Trump prmised to renegotiate. Damn, if he renegotiates all the agreements he promised to, Poor president Trump's not gonna have time to play gold for the next 42 monthes...

Trump has made promises to companies based upon lowering the corporate tax rate and easing regulations. Congress has to act on his proposals before they can have an effect.

JHe made bold promises without being sure he could keep them, because making those promises were making him look good and would make him gain votes.

Ultimately, an administration can put forward their agenda and hope it is effective. Trump hasn't had that chance yet with all the distractions whining snowflakes and leftover deep state apparatchiks pulling stunts against him.

Suddenly obstructionism bothers you. After the last 6 years I like seeing Republicans getting a taste of their own medicine...

You mean bold promises like "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period"?

"The ACA will lower premiums by 2500 dollars a year on average".

The United States is uniquely in a position to negotiate about anything as we are the world's Superpower.

Trump could negotiate what time the French can take a dump and Macron would have to listen.

I am all in favor of obstruction. When my side is doing it and opposing leftwing horseshit legislation.
The GOP gave Obama most of his judges at every federal level.

Gave away the treaty power for the Iran deal.

Gave away the power of the purse.

They didn't obstruct shit, that mattered.

The fact that Obama made bold promises he did not kepts doersn't change the fact that Trump did so too.

Otherwise what ? You nuke the shit out of our country ?

And I like Democrat obstructionism to Trump. I like judges ruling against Trump's muslim ban. I alos like when the obstructionism comes from inide GOP, just like what happened to Trumpcare and will probably happen to the new healthcare plan GOP have's been secretely designing these last weeks.
And I like it when your 7-2 SCOTUS rule 9-0 against Trump on immigration.

Obama just finished 8 years, Trump just observed his 5th month.

Simmah down..no one wants to nuke France.
We're the E.F. Hutton of the world. When we talk, people listen.

I like democrat obstruction too. It doesn't work. :1orglaugh

Stayed tuned on that travel ban..the Supremes may have something to say on that this week.

We are not a 7-2 conservative court.
Supposedly we are 5-4. With Kennedy and Roberts we are 5-4 50 percent of the time, 6-3 Liberal other times.

You're clueless as usual.

Exactly. Just look at how fast the froggies caved when Bush wanted them in Iraq.

 

[Jack Davenport]

They listened.

 

[meesterperfect]

Open forum for all the world.
If Johan who lives close to Versailles wants to talk about Trump he can.

Speaking of Versailles I would love to take a tour of that place.
Thank you Louis XIV.

 

[Supafly]

Trump's more like a swamp rat.

lol

Suck it.

lol

Suck it.

Hey moron, in case you don't know, politics is not magic, it takes time between the moment a bill or an executive order is signed and the moment it gets results, particulary on the economy. Whoever the president is and whatever the bills or the executives order he signs, the results he gets during his first 6 monthes in office are to put to his predecessor's credit.

Aww..it seems a snowflake is mad.

Um.. Even the left wing media has acknowledged that there is a Trump bump in the financial markets and is due to optimism. That also translates to the business sector and hiring.

All due to one Donald John Trump Alpha Prez.

These numbers aren't even a result of any legislation. Perhaps a result of Trump's executive orders easing regulation.

You know even less about finances as you do in anything else.

Got it? Pepe?

like consumer confidence? or optimism in the stock market? I dunno, I'm no econimist, but I don't think those are lagging indicators.

hope and change.
