Donald Trump

Yes it is. Did you read the whole article?

Do you remember how Trump's promise was to bring back blue collar manufacturing jobs? Or how he said this was all his doing? And how his fanboys (probably in this same thread) said it was proof of his tactics/business savvy/whatever?

Trump has been promising to bring back jobs where you don't need to be educated to get a good pay. Everyone else has been saying that is in the past. You can get a high paying engineering job or a low paid packing job anywhere in the US without problem. Foxconn is now saying there may be 1000 jobs by 2020, instead of the 5,200 initially promised. There are roughly 50,000 engineering jobs in Seattle for comparison, and that doesn't include software engineers

It was just some Chinese billionaire blowing smoke up the GOP and Trump's asses to get them to grant him a massive tax cut to do business in the US. We are talking 3 BILLION dollars in tax incentives just for them to open an R&D and packaging facility. For comparison, Amazon is getting roughly the same amount to bring 50,000 high paying jobs to NYC and Viriginia.

Trump and the GOP were so desperate to look good they got massively played by actual billionaires. I'd say it's karma for Trump, but what will GOP voters think? (If fox news even reports it)

Just in time for Groundhog day:

Donald Trump won so hard at making the economy great again that the Dow accidentally overflowed and wrapped back around to get back to where it started. Just because you can't see that with your liberal eyes that only reads the fake news...

Now Trump will do it his way and build wall where he wants it, and in so doing guarantees his re-election. Did anybody here read the art of the deal?

Of course i accept that my low IQ lead me to this conclusion and in all fairness i really shouldn't be bullied for being intellectually handicapped.

Time will tell, and i am patient.

There will be no wall. The only path DJT has to making a wall now is a path that will lead to the first POTUS removed from office by the Senate in US history.

I fully expect that one day, Trump will have a wall with Mexico. Not just with Mexico, but everything else further than eight feet away from him. It will be made of artistically designed steel slats and be impenetrable. He will be in a jail cell, is what I am saying. Elzam was right, walls work (in certain cases)!

I believe less than 50% of Americans want a wall, obviously there are ways of getting around a wall. We also need immigrant workers as people retire and less workers enter the work force. Maybe stronger temporary work visas and a verification system to know who is legally eligible to work. If trump wasn't so stubborn about the word "wall" and just would find an alternative plan. He is just hell bent on checking off on all of his campaign promises.

We need a less restrictive immigration policy in general. If you're not a criminal you should have the right to live and work in the US. Not just as some favor to us who live here already (though we certainly would benefit economically from such a policy) -- but because life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human right, not an exclusive privilege of US citizens. North America Schengen area when?

If Trump weren't so ignorant perhaps we could have a more sophisticated immigration policy than just WAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
