The 1000 employees who kept their jobs will have an extra merry Christmas this year.
May God bless DJT, now and in the next 8 years.
Dear God, MAGA please.

Okay, but it would be best if you elaborate a bit.

I’m not completely sure where you are headed there, even though I could come up with some decent guesses.

I was replying to the douchebags over at democratic underground actually but I have directed Nick to the post. He may simply be confused. It’s our job to educate such people, not to drive them away.

Bought a Maytag dishwasher a few years back, thinking I was getting an American made product.

Got to looking at the shipping box..."Assembled in the USA"

...and there were parts missing.

Too many bathwater garglers on this thread misunderstand my position. Trump should not have struck a deal so quickly, but he wanted a (half) win for his Thank You tour. He’s let Carrier/UTX off the hook and is giving them the freedom to do what many companies have done - keep white collar jobs in the US (yes, many filled with H1b visa holders), while moving the blue collar jobs out of the country. The demand should remain to keep the entire value chain in the US, and threaten the 35% tariff for any products imported back into the country. In exchange, Trump gets the corporate tax cut passed, regulations slashed, an amnesty/reduced rate on funds repatriation, and energy production unleashed. The US will never be able to compete solely on labor costs, when the hourly rate for an American worker is the same as the daily rate for a foreign worker. However, Americans can compete on quality (Made in the USA), reduced energy & transportation costs, and much better customer support. Keeping half the Carrier jobs is only a 2-cent hit on UTX’s earnings, and the company has said they can make cost savings elsewhere. If so, then keep all the jobs in the US and find a way to make up a 4-cent earnings hit.

IOW, I support the original Trump campaign positions - get the whole loaf, not just half.

“Not a win for PEOTUS or the USA.”

One of those ‘glass is half empty’ types, are you? Obama wouldn’t have even bothered. Seems like a win to me. Trump’s not even in office yet and he’s getting things done. Cheer up!

I live in Indy and on the local news they (one reporter on one channel) were more concerned with the cost of the deal (as of yet unknown) and seemed sympathetic to the Mexicans that really need the work.

I’ll bet he really went to bat for the full 2100.

How many did Obama try to save? Anything is a win above Obama's level of effort.

You're author of t he bestselling pop-up book, "Nick's Big Deal", right?

Bet you're rollin' in dough from the royalties, too. Just where is Nick Tower anyway?

Try and lay off the BS at least until you have something other than rotten egg scented hot air to spew. So far the details haven't been announced but you know all about it.

As for the "4-cent hit", Trump just explained how easily that could become a $4 hit and they were only too happy to cooperate.

Sounds just like Apple Computer
Let’s hope that this is a negotiation in progress and not the final agreement

Well look at that, Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and he’s already accomplished more than Obama has in 8 years.

That’s growing an upscale economy. One of the benefits of globalization. However it’s flawed as we transfer technology that will be used to compete with us eventually.

It just makes it so that every generation it gets harder and harder to compete.

“Dang - this is going to be a good 8 years”

Make that 16. Pence will learn how to be a Trump-like president during the first eight.
