Except Trump already waffled on his "plan".
He said he would impose 35% tarrifs on a company like Carrier to taking jobs to Mexico. Well, he had a chance here to hold firm on that.
Instead Carrier is getting to move 1000+ jobs to Mexico and getting a tax break on top of that.
A lot of Trump's talk was just that -- talk. He's not nearly as tough on these companies as he said he would be.
