Kathleen, I've been ignoring most of your misinformation up to now, but i can't let this particular misleading post go. I don't believe you fact-check most of what you post.
Did you watch the 2nd debate where projected deficit numbers were presented and/or have you read any of the updated analysis? Trumps economic policies are expecting to result in the largest deficit budget(s) and therefore national debt by far in US history. He's going to lower corporate taxes (gov't revenue) and at the same time increase government spending, increase spending on the war on terror and potentially enter into several trade wars. To many who voted for him this was welcome news, but there will be significant economic consequences. No country can deficit spend or print money indefinitely. The tools normally available to the gov't for "managing" the situation short term (i.e. interest rates, issuing bonds) are now largely limited. The US can only be "Great Again" if it's built on a solid financial foundation.
Normally I'd provide proof of my position to you by providing links to several reputable economists and their analysis of Trump's policies, etc.. But why bother? Trump supporters in the US and here on TERB have for the most part voted/commented with their hearts and not their heads and have ignore hard economic facts.
As for Trump, people can only hope for the best. Its hard to anticipate so soon, but recent actions with companies coming back to America or creating jobs does look promising.
You mention Amazon, Walmart, Ford, GM below and I'll add Carrier and Boeing to the list. Again .... you are conveniently choosing to ignore many of the facts.
Both Ford and GM have stated that they were not in negotiation with Trump and these were plans already being considered and/or actioned. Ford, GM, Boeing and Carrier are still sending jobs out of the country, just less for now. All are investing significant $$ in factories in the US, but much of the investment is automation which in the long term means fewer jobs. Walmart is a huge outsourcer (IT, legal, accounting, audit, purchasing) and the majority of the US jobs tend to be lower paying, non-career jobs. Amazon's owner is an outspoken critic of Trump and they've been having a war of words for some time now - Amazon was already intending to build more (highly automated) warehouses in the US.
We still don't know what United Technologies was offered as no details have been released (not surprisingly).
Until we see what tax and other business incentives are actually put in place by Trump, I think you will find most American business will lay-low and/or compliment Trump to avoid Trump's attention and the punitive attacks by him and his uninformed minions. Afterall Trumps MO is to
ATTACK! instead of building bridges.
Is Trump now buying his building products from American providers yet? What American manufacturer is making his fashion products now? The hats for his inauguration were made in Korea were they not?
