Donald Trump’s first big economic blunder: Beneath the noise and bluster, Carrier’s a disastrous deal
Donald Trump has already made a mockery of the presidency — and bribed a company in which he owns stock
an empty P.R. stunt in which the president-elect claimed to have rescued jobs from being outsourced to Mexico by Indiana-based Carrier, the manufacturers of heating and air conditioning units.
First, Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, cut a $7 million check to the corporation in the form of tax giveaways, courtesy of the very taxpayers whose 1,300 jobs are still being stripped away and sent to Mexico. Sure, Carrier chose not to send around 800 jobs to Mexico, but as we learned later, the company is still sending 1,300 jobs to Mexico anyway. Put another way, Trump’s great triumph in Indiana adds up to a net job loss.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
The company will keep about 800 jobs it had planned to move out of the Indianapolis plant, but it still plans to move 600 jobs from that factory to Mexico. United Technologies also will proceed with plans to close a second plant in Huntington, Ind., that makes electronic controls, moving 700 other jobs to Mexico.

Do you Trash fellators think Trash is gonna impose at 35% tariff on Carrier gear imported from MX?
Or 35% tariff on Trash's own branded crap he imports?
The Carrier deal is pure PR, nothing but fraud, and Trash's supporters fall for it yet again.
