Trump: "Companies from all over the world are pouring into the U.S."

I turned on the radio to get the news on the hour and heard a clip of Trump saying,
that because of the yet unsigned new tax bill,
companies from all over the world are already pouring into the United States,
creating millions of new jobs.

Oh, and ‘his’ new tax bill will free Americans from the burden of ‘Obamacare’.

He said it is his Christmas gift to the American people.

(I wonder if companies making 'Trump products' are pouring back into the United States?)

on the Folks at the Fusion Assembly Plants. C-Max is toast as well as a couple of Lincoln Models. Suppose to be a sizable lay off coming or happening in real time. Ford just inked a new agreement with their China Partner this past week for the Fusion and a EV to be determined later. Remember,China is shooting for zero Fossil Fueled Vehicles by 2040 or earlier. Gee,is Dingle Berry Donnie win another one.

They had to expand their market because Americans are catching on to just how crappy their vehicles really are. Now instead of "Found On Road Dead" being the acronym, it's "Found On Russian Dachas" where the oligarchy can put them to use.
