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. 

 

Well gee hes not actually the president yet lol, how exactly is the pres elect supposed to enact any sort of tariif when hes not actually in office yet ?

a little common sense would help.   

He could say straight up, keep those 2000 jobs here, or when I am in office in January, I am going to enact 35% tariffs against you. Presumably Carrier plans on staying in business past this December? But he was never going to do that, it was all talk.
