Trump keeps a promise? Convinces A/C company Carrier to keep Jobs in America.

Sanders also campaigned on it, and I'll give Trump a little credit here, but I do think this was a bit of a PR stunt.

Carrier has $3 billion in US government defence contracts, they were always going to play ball so it was a cherry picked set up to showcase to the media. And some of the jobs are still be axed or transferred to Mexico anyway. 

I also think this could set a bit of a bad precedent because lots of companies will look at this and say "hey we're thinking of moving to Mexico too .... better give us a tax break and a bunch of incentives." There's pros/cons to a government trying to micromanage an economy.

So do we really expect him to step in every time a company is thinking about moving jobs out of the country? Its a publicity stunt. I'd rather have him concentrate on more important things like global warming, the environment and protecting our natural resources. Talking economy is nice and all but it doesn't matter if the ice caps are melted and half the country is under water.

There. Changed the second option in the poll, just for you guys.
