More Trump "Winning"

Pocket change.

And he still couldn't win.

When are we going to get it through our thick heads that wealth is created for everyone by the private market and jobs, and not the government. Why the anger at Trump, because he seeks a conservative Supreme Court where abortion and gay marriage could be reversed? Is not this should be at the forefront of a Christian mind, instead of putting roadblocks at every effort the President makes?

Using this same reasoning, does that mean he's not going to sue the women accusing him of sexual assault?

More than 600 employees at a Carrier plant in Indianapolis are bracing for layoffs beginning next month, despite being told by President Trump that nearly all the jobs at the plant had been saved. The deal, announced with great fanfare before Trump took office, was billed not only as a heroic move to keep jobs from going to Mexico but also as a seismic shift in the economic development landscape.

Nearly seven months later the deal has not worked out quite as originally advertised, and the landscape has barely budged.

"The jobs are still leaving," said Robert James, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999. "Nothing has stopped."

DETROIT — In a move that highlights the shifting landscape of global auto production, Ford Motor said Tuesday that it would build its next-generation small car in China rather than in the United States or Mexico.

The decision underscores the potential for China to export more vehicles for sale to American buyers, and the reluctance of domestic automakers to invest in additional production in Mexico.

Ford currently builds its Focus compact car in Michigan, as well as in China and Europe.

Last year, the company said it planned to shift Focus production to a plant under construction in Mexico, primarily because of lower labor costs. But Ford canceled the project in January after it met stiff opposition from President Trump, who had repeatedly criticized the company for investing in Mexican jobs at the expense of American ones.

Now Ford, the nation’s second-largest automaker, after General Motors, is centralizing much of its small-car production in China, where it has available capacity.

sounds like Trump was tripped up by the Carrier deal in Indiana - the company took the incentives and invested almost all of it in automation, saving no manufacturing jobs in the US.

Well, it's too early to see if Trump does stop all the outsourcing, but he'd better - the platform to save American jobs is probably the major reason he won so much of the Rust Belt. If he doesn't do that, he will taint both himself and Pence, why vote again for empty America first rhetoric?

Trump tweeted today that he was proud to announce a commitment by Charter Communications to create 20,000 new jobs over the next four years.

The only problem is that Charter announced this last October, weeks before the election. The maneuver must have been in the works for months before the announcement. In other words, Trump had nothing to do with it.

SAN ANTONIO – Spectrum will bring at least 200 new jobs to San Antonio with the grand opening of its new Customer Operations Call Center in the city’s Westover Hills area.

Spectrum now occupies more than 50,000 square feet on the second floor of the One51 Office Center campus at 10301 Highway 151. The additional space will enable the company to ramp up hiring, adding bilingual sales staff to address growing demand for Spectrum products and services.

Returning former Time Warner Cable call center jobs to the United States from overseas is part of Spectrum’s long-term strategy to improve the customer experience. Charter Communications, which merged with Time Warner Cable in May and introduced its Spectrum brand of services in Texas in September, plans to add 20,000 U.S. jobs by insourcing its workforce and growing to meet customer demands, along with reshoring of call center work.

Much of the announcement was not new. Charter said last May that it planned to add 20,000 jobs as part of its merger with Time Warner Cable and acquisition of Bright House Networks. As early as June 2015, Rutledge said Charter would need an additional 20,000 employees after those deals.

On a number of occasions, Trump has touted job announcements at the White House that had been previously planned or announced

The company said more than a year ago in February 2016 that it planned to close foreign Time Warner Cable call centers and move the jobs to the United States.

The South Carolina Boeing plant where President Trump gave a speech promising to protect U.S. jobs says it's laying off workers.

Boeing confirmed to CNNMoney on Thursday that it's cutting about 200 jobs at its plant in South Carolina. The plant had previously experienced sizable cutbacks in 2013 when Boeing significantly scaled back contract workers.

Speaking at the plant in February, Trump promised a crowd of assembly workers, managers and executives that "jobs is one of the primary reasons I'm standing here today as your President, and I will never, ever disappoint you."
