    Trump moved nothing overseas. He deals in real estate...not manufactured goods!
    Maybe you need to drop this lame talking point for something with a little relevance.
    And if he brings the US back jobs from Mexico through Ford, who cares where they came from?

    Only whiny leftists living in fear because not even in office yet, Trump is making good on promises to bring jobs back to America. Sucks to be a sore loser.

    He most certainly isn't. Haven't you been informed that

    -it's impossible to keep American manufacturing jobs
    -Trump is in it for himself and does not care about working Americans
    -The Congress will block Trump's entire agenda, he won't get anything done.

    It's quite obvious that this news about Ford investing in Detroit and keeping jobs in the US is a FAKE NEWS. That we hear about it from the mouth of Ford's CEO does not change the obvious conclusion that it's not happening and is a figment of non-liberal imagination :D

    Agree. But all this has to be a tad embarrassing for "you didn't build that" Obama, though. I mean, he's been taking every opportunity that comes along to brag about his record & shore up his legacy and then "BOOM"...another "good news for America" event happens that has Trump policy written all over it and steals the spotlight.

    He deals in RE, and bottled water,and fake colleges, and steaks, and ties...and on and on. How are you on this forum and not aware of his other (mostly failed) business ventures?

    Not the point and I'm well pleased that once more you don't get the point. What jobs did Trump outsource overseas as you claim?
    Put more plainly, which jobs specifically did Donald Trump move overseas so he could save money? Can you name even one? I doubt it.
    You could claim his ties were made overseas but once more, that's not Trump's doings. He didn't decimate the American manufacturing base.
    Look at what you are wearing right now and tell me how many articles were made in China. Blaming Trump for that is pathetic.

    He didn't invent and push NAFTA. That was Hillary and Bill's
    doings. And even if you could prove that Trump deliberately got his ties made overseas when he could have done it somehow here the jobs he is bringing
    back already, while not even officially in office, is more than compensating for that.

    Face it...you can't stand the rust belt's faith in electing Trump is being rewarded already and Trump hasn't even started yet in earnest.
    Yeah...he's been an ass! But perhaps he is already giving reason to believe he might also be an effective president who helped turned back the globalist tide
    as opposed to Hillary who only wanted more of the destructive soulless same.

    Ford understands they're now dealing with a man that puts America first and see they can get back to making vehicles in the US, like they always wanted.

    No, not "mostly failed". Not even close. He was involved in hundreds of businesses and only a handful of them have failed.

    Hillary had a pant suit company that failed and Obama took a beating when his lemonade stand went belly up.

    What jobs did he outsource and yes new tax and regulatory polices will give every CEO and BOD pause to consider their future plans.

    Obama and Hillary must be sooooo pissed! :steamed::steamed:

    :roflol:

    This is what we voted for, folks. This never would have happened if Hillary had won the election.

    Carrier and Ford keeping their jobs here, taking on Boeing over the cost of aircraft, GM put on notice ...

    Talk about a running start!

    Well which is it you want him to continue to run his companies or divest himself of them? You're talking out both sides of your mouth.

    Smart, why not kiss up to someone who will single out your business for retribution?

    Try again and actually answer my question, which is it you want him to continue to run his companies or divest himself of them? And what jobs did HIS company outsource.

    How many jobs has Obama saved in weeks, leading to inauguration? Did he do anything useful at all during weeks, leading to inauguration? Not wasting my time looking, for I know the answers.

    Lol why is it one or the other? He's had 2 months to move those jobs here.

    - - - Updated - - -

    He wasn't threatening private business so I doubt any felt the need to kiss up.

    Indeed; Obama gave (*)(*)(*)(*) about private business. That's why he presided over the slowest recession recovery in the modern history.

    One thing right-wing socialists never understood about capitalism is the importance of DEMAND.

    Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Abraham Lincoln

    Crooked Donnie is a plutocrat who wants wealth and power to be concentrated in the hands of a few, which is bad for business: supply without capitalized
    demand creates an economic slow down.
