Carrier employee: Trump is ‘my hero’ after saving jobs
MONTERREY, Mexico U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s intervention to stop jobs at a plant in IN going to Mexico is typical of what happens in countries that Americans call “banana” republics, a senior Mexican state official said on Thursday.
He said he remains grateful to the people of IN for helping him effectively clinch the Republican presidential nomination IN May, and giving him a almost 20 percent margin of victory on Election Day.
The president-elect spent several minutes recalling his success in IN during the Republican primary, saying that he had a “tremendous love affair” with the state.
Trump followed up the stop in Indianapolis with a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio on Thursday evening as part of his “USA Thank You Tour 2016”.
Trump said Thursday that the campaign promise was a “euphemism”, meant to symbolize job-saving efforts across the country.
To make his point, Earnest just ignored all of the job losses that occurred during the first 13 months of Obama’s presidency. That was some victory.
Rattner also pointed out just how much the economy has improved in IN during Obama’s time in office, despite those now saying “finally we have a president (Trump) who will stand up for workers”.
“I don’t want to get anybody’s hopes up”, he said. “They are a subsidy to a company with little value to society”. I don’t like them. However, there was precedent, they said.
During the U.S. presidential campaign, Donald Trump often boasted that he’d stop American companies from shipping jobs out of the country. Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim said on Thursday that if Trump succeeds as USA president, it would benefit major trading partner Mexico because of increased employment and United States economic growth.
“Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences – not going to happen”, he said.
“And he picked up the phone, ‘Mr”. She said it was a very positive feeling to see the President-elect walk in. “It’s wonderful to win. I think the more limited it is the better”.
The Wall Street Journal reported that in, whose governor, Mike Pence, is vice president-elect, will kick in $7 million in tax breaks over 10 years. “But if he says here are some tools, we can figure out how to use them”, said Kyle Hannon, president of the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce. So, doing the math, it appears that Trump and United Technologies have worked out a deal to keep roughly half of the current manufacturing jobs in Indiana. He praised the company for its “flexibility” in striking the deal, but said such compromises would likely be an exception in his administration. In February, the heating and air conditioning company said that it would shut the plant and send jobs to Mexico, and video of angry workers being informed about the decision soon went viral.
Consumers – The tax incentives in the US are much less than Carrier expected to gain by moving the jobs to Mexico, so one of the other ways they could make up the difference is by increasing prices. Two hundred engineering and administration staffers who weren’t going to Mexico in the first place will be retained. “We’re going to have doors in that wall, but they’re going to come through legally and people are going to come through on worker permits to work the fields”.
And late today, there were reports that president-elect Trump has decided who will fill a major Cabinet job.
A call to a Carrier spokesman to clarify was not immediately returned. “I think it’s very presidential”, he insisted.
