Please read Palin’s own words in full with an open mind. I was also outraged by the headlines. She is not trashing Trump.
Excerpt:
“Gotta’ have faith the Trump team knows all this. And I’ll be the first to acknowledge concerns over a deal cut by leveraging taxpayer interests to make a manufacturer stay put are unfounded – once terms are made public.”

Sarah Palin should know more than anyone that you cannot give the leftist media an inch of an argument that they can jump on. She should zipper her mouth. I do not wish to see her in the new Trump administration. Her time is past. Maybe she can run a charity collection for the next world disaster like a tsunami or the like.
....Politicians picking and choosing recipients of corporate welfare is railed against by fiscal conservatives, for it’s a hallmark of corruption. And socialism. The Obama Administration dealt in it in spades. Recall Solyndra, Stimulus boondoggles, and all their other taxpayer-subsidized anchors on our economy. A $20 trillion debt-ridden country can’t afford this sinfully stupid practice, so vigilantly guard against its continuance, or we’re doomed.
To equate what Trump did with Carrier to Solyndra is naive and incomparable at best.
Palin is trying to make a case that Trump is showing favoritism for Carrier over its competitors. Bizarre at best. He would undoubtedly make the same deal for any of Carriers competitors that were going to cause the U.S. to lose jobs to another country.For Trump its about keeping jobs in the US. Solyndra was about zero picking and choosing his favorite energy regardless of market dictations.
Palin is way off on comparing the two situations. She is confusing textbook theory with reality. The two are not always the same.
