When is the first ribbon-cutting ceremony? When is the first groundbreaking? When is the first job fair or hiring hall recruiting? On what date does the first new shift start running?

Were the invites lost in the mail?

[BipolarBob]

Meanwhile my buggy whip stock and tulip speculation enterprises languish.

[dragnet2]

I bet you long for the good old days...

[Mark]

When will a few idiot Federal Judges stop their entry. (/S)

[buckalfa]

Promises and grand announcements mean nothing until dirt is turned. Even with Donald Magnus as president.

[Wpin]

I am being lazy, but has anyone totaled that up? How much is it? It is absolutely incredible. Probably the largest expansion in American history. Maybe world history.

[Dan in Wichita]

A wet blanket named Peter Schiff was on Newsmax a few minutes ago and said more money was being pulled out of the US than what has been pledged (~ $7 trillion) in new investments in America. Schiff is predicting total financial doom because of Trump tariffs and other economic policies.

I hope he's wrong.

[Old West Conservative]

What, the days when faux conservatives like you ruled the roost, dragnet?

Umm ... no thanks

[JayGalt]

Your point?
How much did you enjoy being snide?
Is it your position that until there is a ribbon cutting ceremony these investments are irrelevant?
How could news have been better or have instantaneously created a factory? If you just sit on the sidelines and kvetch you are part of the problem not the solution.

[mbrfl]

>>”On what date does the first new shift start running? Were the invites lost in the mail?”

You were expecting a personal invitation? Have you contacted any of these companies to ask how you can apply for one of the new jobs? Do you live in the area of one of these projects?

[JayGalt]

Take it as golden. He’s wrong. That there is a politically motivated statement.

[GOPJ]

Trump’s been President for about four MONTHS.

And even though he’s fast, even Trump could NOT build a factory in four months - and either can anyone else. We’re not talking about a 7/11 here or a new corner gas station. And even those would take more than four months to build.

You’ve confused Trump with Biden - Biden was a two bit lying democrat pile of filth...

[JewishRighter]

“Meanwhile my buggy whip stock and tulip speculation enterprises languish.”

I don’t care who ya’ are. That right ther’s funny.

Thanks.

[JayGalt]

The list is non-comprehensive but seems to add to north of 5.8 trillion.

[Old West Conservative]

Yes, let’s actually see a groundbreaking.

In President Trump’s first term, SoftBank was the very first one to promise a major investment in the USA. I have no idea if that ever happened. I see SoftBank on the list again. I have no idea what was their track record in reality.

President Reagan really accomplished just 3 things, but they were immense. And you clowns who say bUt AmNeStY — you’re just clowns.

Reagan

— Broke the Soviet Union

— Restored the economy and caused it to surge, creating a hiring boom along the way, with nonexistent inflation

— Passed a massive tax CUT that largely remains the framework for today, although there’s been upward top marginal rate creep staring with Bush 1

— Restored the “Shining City on the Hill” and America’s self-confidence

Trump was given the worst of fields to till. America’s problems, 35 years in the making, are immense. Freepers scream because Trump has yet to repair the entirety of the rot of 35 years in three months.

[Old West Conservative]

“You’ve confused Trump with Biden”

LOL

I realize the amount of time it takes to build something from scratch, but I imagine many of these endeavors could re-purpose existing sites and re-tool them

And those realities are why I added the other possibilities. Any ramped-up hiring at existing plants? Any additions of new shifts?

I believe Trump can turn things around, but the days will be getting shorter all too soon.

[Fuzz]

“ In President Trump’s first term, SoftBank was the very first one to promise a major investment in the USA. I”

Foxconn also. That was a flop

[Captainpaintball]

Invest in securing the border, arresting judges and CONgressional traitors in both parties, purging the government of the leftists and arresting the worst of them, and protecting the infrastructure from the certain attacks from the terrorists who are here right now.

[Old West Conservative]

Until they happen they’re... vaporware

On the other hand, here are some specifics of one expansion
