This is really just “popping off” before anything has a chance to get done. Trump simply did what he had promised in this particular situation. Palin disgraced herself for opening her big mouth here. Sure, this kind of “deal” isn’t how Trump will go about fixing the problems of jobs leaving the country, but he’s not yet in a position to do anything concrete. Palin was way out of line, and she displays a lack of understanding circumstances. She needs to take some lessons from Mad Dog Mattis! Maybe he could recommend some serious reading.
In politics, things go too far or not far enough, politicians push some idea far beyond the limits of its applicability or they don't push it at all.
Somebody pointing out that President Trump can't do this with every company that wants to cut and run puts a damper on expectations that might otherwise get out of hand.
It can also act as a spur to come up with more comprehensive policies for dealing with runaway factories and to put those policies into effect.
If Donald Trump can have dinner with Mitt Romney twice, he probably doesn't hold a little constructive criticism against Sarah Palin.
