I actually have no idea what most of those places you are talking about. All I gotta use is my own eyes. Trump lets a thousand jobs go. Trump brags about him saving a few.

Whee. There's that great america we've been waiting for.

I take it your a glass half empty type of person. If he had saved all the jobs  you and some of the blind people on this site would find something to complain about. Like why couldn't he get them raises or more vacation! You need to look at the big picture the jobs were gone!!!!!!! Trump saved 1100 jobs by negotiating with them before they moved permanently something OBAMA WASN'T GOING TO DO AND NEITHER WAS CLINTON! And as for him promoting this, its a good thing that he shows all Americans he's got there back and that he will work for the jobs we need. The leader of a nation needs to be a cheerleader for the country in order to install confidence to their people! So be happy for the people he's help.

AAA, here is the problem with this deal.  Its total PR.  Think about it for a minute.  Saving 1,000 jobs on a undisclosed deal where the President of the United states had a hand in the situation is silly.  The reason is that it’s not repeatable.  It’s not something he did with his policy that is a template for other corporations that is looking at their bottom line will keep such manufacturing jobs in the US.  The only way anyone sees this as Trump having American backs is if this is something that can be taken to the national stage not some one off deal that will never be done again.

If this turns out to be just a one off thing done just for clicks and PR then you have been duped.  Its feels just like the situation when Trump went to Louisiana during the flood.  People praised him for the gesture but when you step back you look at all the other floods, hurricanes, Tornados ect.  Where was Trump during those moments.  In other words, if this is something that Trump is willing to do because he really cares then it will be something that he continues to do.  It will not be some one off thing he does for PR.

The time for these type of games really is over.  Trump has won the white house so its go time.  PR Stunts is not what the people are looking for.  They are looking for his policies to do what he stated he will do.  I have a open mind so I am willing to see what he does but I really not interested in seeing Trump the salesman but instead seeing President Trump and see exactly how he will make America great.
