Not Presidents.
I realize Pence cut this deal but obviously at Trump's behest. Kind of a bummer.
I don't know how many A/C manufacturers there are in Indiana but I'm pretty sure there is only one airliner manufacturer in Warshington so that kind of falls under the apples and oranges thing.
Besides, as far as I know, Chicago is still in The U.S.
Its murder rate might rival that of Mexico's but, still.
Pence was working on this before Trump won. Yea sure being vice president elect holds more power than one senator but it was a state deal.
Granted, but the problem is that Boeing was a Washington company and Locke didn't do due diligence.
Secondly, the President has every right to do his best to keep companies in the U.S. It has nothing to do with playing favorites or giving a company an unfair advantage. It has to do with keeping jobs in the U.S.
The Constitutional duty of the President as spelled out is to protect American interests around the world as well as at 'home'. For too long American interests have been for sale and sold for pennies on the dollar, or even just given away.
Finally, under the Constitution, the government in which the President is the most visual officer of that government, is to create an environment where citizens and legal entities acting as citizens can flourish.
This is so simple to understand.
