President Donald J. Trump has secured over $5 trillion in new U.S.-based investments in his first 100 days, which will create more than 451,000 new jobs as he sets the stage for a new era of American prosperity. From advanced manufacturing to cutting-edge artificial intelligence infrastructure, these historic investments — spurred by President Trump’s unwavering commitment to revitalizing American industry — will reinforce the U.S. as the global leader in innovation and economic growth.

The announcements keep coming. In recent days:

• IBM announced a $150 billion investment over the next five years in its U.S.-based growth and manufacturing operations.

• Thermo Fisher Scientific announced it will invest an additional $2 billion over the next four years to enhance and expand its U.S. manufacturing operations and strengthen its innovation efforts.

  • The company credited President Trump’s landmark 2017 tax cuts for enabling its rapid expansion: “Pro-growth policies like the @POTUS @WhiteHouse 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act helped make investments like this possible.

<>The big question is “WHEN?”<>

The when will be before Freepers learn to read the articles to which they post.

I did read it, the majority of them didn’t provide a single time estimate for these “investments”. That was my whole point. I think a lot of these companies are just waiting for the Democrats to win the House in the 2026 midterms and suddenly it’s, “Oops! Never mind!”

What would happen if one of them pulled out? It would be a huge story. There stock would take a hit.
