The message you are sending to all those Democrats who voted for Trump, turning blue states red and making him the president-elect, is that they made the right choice. Even before taking office, Trump is out there doing whatever he has to do to save American jobs, while Democrats continue to snicker at the concerns of these workers.Trump Warns That Companies Shipping Jobs Overseas Will Be Slapped With Enormous Bribes
By Andy Borowitz, The New Yorker
03 December 16
The article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column, "The Borowitz Report."
resident-elect Donald J. Trump drew a line in the sand on Friday as he warned that U.S. companies planning to ship jobs overseas will be slapped with enormous bribes.
“If you think you’re going to get away with sending jobs out of the U.S., think again,” Trump said. “You are about to be bribed, big league.”
He raised the cautionary example of Carrier Corporation, which this week decided to keep a few hundred jobs in the U.S. in exchange for a seven-million-dollar government incentive. “I warned those boys at Carrier: we can do this the easy way, or the hard way, where you get seven million dollars,” he said. “They backed down so fast—it was terrific.”
The President-elect said that the Carrier story should strike fear into the hearts of all American businesses that might be contemplating shipping jobs overseas. “Do you really want to wind up like Carrier, with seven million dollars in your pockets?” he asked. “I don’t think so.”
In a parting shot, Trump warned companies that he was prepared to back up his tough rhetoric with even tougher action. “I will bribe you so hard, your grandchildren will get paid,” he threatened.
Whole lot of truth here....The loud mouthed dump has a bad arm from patting himself on the back
Which candidates do you think these voters will vote for in the midterm elections: those who support Trump's efforts to save American jobs and bring back some of the jobs that left, or those who, like Obama, will continue to chuckle at efforts to put Americans back to work?
