    When are we going to get it through our thick heads that wealth is created for everyone by the private market and jobs, and not the government. Why the anger at Trump, because he seeks a conservative Supreme Court where abortion and gay marriage could be reversed? Is not this should be at the forefront of a Christian mind, instead of putting roadblocks at every effort the President makes?

    Using this same reasoning, does that mean he's not going to sue the women accusing him of sexual assault?

    More than 600 employees at a Carrier plant in Indianapolis are bracing for layoffs beginning next month, despite being told by President Trump that nearly all the jobs at the plant had been saved. The deal, announced with great fanfare before Trump took office, was billed not only as a heroic move to keep jobs from going to Mexico but also as a seismic shift in the economic development landscape.

    Nearly seven months later the deal has not worked out quite as originally advertised, and the landscape has barely budged.

    "The jobs are still leaving," said Robert James, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999. "Nothing has stopped."

    Trump's Carrier deal is not living up to the hype — jobs still going to Mexico

    DETROIT — In a move that highlights the shifting landscape of global auto production, Ford Motor said Tuesday that it would build its next-generation small car in China rather than in the United States or Mexico.

    The decision underscores the potential for China to export more vehicles for sale to American buyers, and the reluctance of domestic automakers to invest in additional production in Mexico.

    Ford currently builds its Focus compact car in Michigan, as well as in China and Europe.

    Last year, the company said it planned to shift Focus production to a plant under construction in Mexico, primarily because of lower labor costs. But Ford canceled the project in January after it met stiff opposition from President Trump, who had repeatedly criticized the company for investing in Mexican jobs at the expense of American ones.

    Now Ford, the nation’s second-largest automaker, after General Motors, is centralizing much of its small-car production in China, where it has available capacity.

    sounds like Trump was tripped up by the Carrier deal in Indiana - the company took the incentives and invested almost all of it in automation, saving no manufacturing jobs in the US.

    Well, it's too early to see if Trump does stop all the outsourcing, but he'd better - the platform to save American jobs is probably the major reason he won so much of the Rust Belt. If he doesn't do that, he will taint both himself and Pence, why vote again for empty America first rhetoric?

    Why didn't Trump thank Obama?

    The South Carolina Boeing plant where President Trump gave a speech promising to protect U.S. jobs says it's laying off workers.

    Boeing confirmed to CNNMoney on Thursday that it's cutting about 200 jobs at its plant in South Carolina. The plant had previously experienced sizable cutbacks in 2013 when Boeing significantly scaled back contract workers.

    Speaking at the plant in February, Trump promised a crowd of assembly workers, managers and executives that "jobs is one of the primary reasons I'm standing here today as your President, and I will never, ever disappoint you."
