Friday at a rally for Louisiana Senate candidate Republican John Kennedy in Baton Rouge, President-elect Donald Trump restated his proposal to impose a “substantial tariff or tax,” on the imports of companies that move production out of the United States.
Trump said, “We don’t want companies to leave our country, go to another country, and sell their product and then sell the product where they left. Now we have all unemployed people. They had jobs for 32 years. I mean Carrier is a great example, and Carrier— we did a great job with Carrier, but, you know, they announced it a year and a half ago, they already have a plant built. Think what you could do if they haven’t started or haven’t said anything yet. They’re not going to leave because we’re going to put up a very high tax, and if they want to build their plant out of this country, that’s fine, but if they think they’re going to sell their product back into the country and have no tax, that’s not going to happen anymore folks, not going to happen, and therefore they’re not going to leave. They may leave a state and go to a different state. Maybe they’re having a hard time with their employees.”

Carrier sent more jobs to Mexico than it saved and STILL got a huge payday. And guess what? Trump's invested in them. Corrupt.
1:12, letting people get away with taking all jobs is preferable to you but not me.
Typical uninformed democrat. The money the state collects from wage taxes will pay off the money they got in 2 years or less. I would say that was a smart move by trump.
Of course there is just a small problem with this; it's called the constitution.
1:12
Make it up as you go along. Get over it, you lost.
Invested in what? You really have to be more specific.
Hey folks,
1:12 is only pointing out the TRUTH about the one situation of which we have been informed.
Mr. Trump will work of the elite or he will not be POTUS.
Period.
Wake up and smell the Facism.
Stop chastising others who are pointing out the truth about the matter.
Carrier sent more jobs to Mexico than it saved in the US.
That is truth.
Stop worshipping Mr. Trump.
He was the lesser of 2 evils.
Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is still voting for evil.
At least admit the ridiculous situation in which we find ourselves.
I was a Trump supporter.
Not a Democrat.
But I have a brain, and I try to use it.
Thank you
Does that include his companies? Are Trump companies going to purchase US made goods vs. foreign products? Voted for him but want a level playing field.
