1) Boeing will lay off 200 workers at its assembly plant in South Carolina. Trump visited the factory in February to outline his jobs plan. In his remarks, Trump even pledged, “I will never, ever disappoint you.”
2) Carrier will eliminate 600 manufacturing jobs in Indiana. In one of his first major announcement as president-elect, Trump promised to save 1,100 positions at the factory from being outsourced to Mexico. The company will begin shifting more operations to Mexico next month.
3) Ford will a move a major production line to China. Under pressure from Trump, the automaker cancelled plans to build the Focus sedan in Mexico. Instead, Ford will build it in China.
The formula to economic success isn’t cheap publicity stunts. American competitiveness depends on investments in American workers – in their healthcare, education, and job training -- so they’re productive and competitive with workers advanced nations. Trump and his Republican enablers are doing the opposite.
Trump’s job promises are lies that betray many who voted for him.
