He saved about 900 jobs while losing 1100 in the process with all the leverage in the world (or country) behind him. To me that's not great negotiation. This wasn't even a big number, lol 2000 jobs is nothing. If this is the best he can do in this situation, what's he's going to accomplish with little/no leverage? 10% of jobs saved instead of 45%? Carrier was a very easy case, they are deeply tied to the US gov't. This is like picking a fight with the skinniest/weakest looking kid and still getting a bloody nose out of it. What are you going to do when you have to actually someone bigger? Actually a "pay for peace" deal with Iran is much more preferable than the alternative. You want to go fight on the front lines in a war in Iran? Or send your son/daughter to do so? Didn't think so. Easy to war hawk when someone else is the one who's going to have to potentially actually fight. |
Actually all those jobs were already lost. And he saved as many as he could as a president-elect. The real job savings will come once he's president and can make changes to nafta as well as pass a budget with widespread tax savings and incentives. This is just the tip of the iceburg. If Carrier was an easy case then what the heck has Obama been doing. He's been laughing at Trump and saying nothing could be done lol.
