President-elect Donald Trump, after threatening consequences for companies that move jobs overseas, turned to another Indiana company planning a move to Mexico, drawing a rebuke from former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Saturday.

"Rexnord of Indiana is moving to Mexico and rather viciously firing all of its 300 workers. This is happening all over our country. No more!" Trump said in a Friday night Twitter post.

Rexnord Corp (RXN.N), an industrial supplier based in Milwaukee, announced plans in October to move a bearing plant, and its 300 jobs, from Indianapolis to Mexico, employees told the Indianapolis Star at the time.

Company representatives on Saturday did not respond to a request for comment on Trump's tweet.

On very telling sentence at the end of the report:

“It is unclear what steps would have to be taken by federal authorities before Trump could retaliate against individual companies shifting jobs abroad.”

It’s unclear because the current establishment asshats never had any intention of protecting American workers so they never even considered steps to hold companies responsible. That’s about to change.

yes. end the govt lying to the citizens

the govt is supposed to serve us, not lie to us.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Thank you for taking one for the FReeper team !, and
admitting that you had to look it up . I too had to look it up - and it's an appropriate usage.

I like how Sanders is only now speaking up. He has been very quite during the Obama reign.

“Sanders the Sellout speaks from his $600k HillBatCave in VT eh?”

There is nothing on the left that is not a lie.
There is no one on the left who is not a liar.

Dear Bernie,
if you really gave a rat’s-ass damn about Americans who want to find (or keep) jobs

you’d offer to help President Trump do it for us.

That is, if you really cared anything at all about us, including the 95+million Americans without any jobs at all AND the many millions more who are doing honest but very low paid or part-time gigs just to survive

if you care, you’ll offer to help President Trump get some American jobs back for us, and rebuild the USA economy

if you care, that is...
