President-elect Donald Trump flew to Indiana with Vice President-elect Mike Pence today to celebrate Carrier’s decision to keep an air conditioning plant open in America. The decision saves 1,000 American jobs from going to Mexico.
Carrier announced it would invest $16 million to keep its manufacturing plants open. The company also plans to close a plant in Mexico.
Trump and Pence are in Indiana on the first leg of their “Thank You Tour” through swing states that helped him win the presidential election.
Trump kept his campaign promise to heavily tax any American company that exports jobs to Mexico and then attempts to import their products back into the United States.
He also promised to “rebuild our inner cities because our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they’ve been in before. Ever. Ever. Ever.”
The leftwing mainstream media criticized Trump’s thank you tour as “stunts” and “not presidential”.
Many praised Trump who doesn’t take office until January 2017.
Plant workers say Trump has done more in 3 weeks as president-elect than other presidents have done in 8 years.

It’s going to backfire. Can’t wait to watch when the sh1ts hits the fan.
Glad Carrier made that choice.
My mother lost her job many moons ago when Carrier chose to move over seas.

Damn this man ain’t gon do shyt for no Black community. I’m from Vine City in Atlanta and I remembered when that shyt was bad!! I remember west end, bad. It’s livable now. Stop letting whites who don’t come in our communities tell u shyt is bad
Excellent news. They’ll stay mad for the next 8 years.
Bwhahahaha at the done more in 3 weeks than 8 years. Gonna sit quietly and watch this train wreck…always happy for folks to keep jobs.
You too huh lol
Plant workers say Trump has done more in 3 weeks as president-elect than other presidents have done in 8 years.*********Sandra, what are you drinking some I can know what not to
He ain’t even the president yet. You can score this “victory” to President Obama, please and thank you. How can he tax a company on something that predated him and no laws are currently in place?
Wait…so Carrier decides not to ship out American jobs to another country but Trump gets the praise. I’m confused how a company choosing to keep jobs in the US translates to him keeping jobs in the US.
trump saved 1000 jobs (more like 850) at a cost of 700,000 per year to the taxpayers for the next ten years. President Obama bailed out the auto industry and reinforced the banks at a time when everybody was going under. The US even charged interest I do believe and yet trump is taking a victory tour?

I live in the west end now off Lucile and I love it … was in Oakland city for a few years … moved from Henry county… I love living in the city! Looking to see how the new dome will change the area as well…
All this. The Atlanta city council (who is mostly black ) and Kaseem Reed.
That’s awesome of Donald Trump.I read about this yesterday. I don’t recall Democrats ever caring about the jobs of citizen’s,this much.
I bet the sorry democratic politicians will brush this off,because they depend on people being “poor” ,so they can remain career politicians.
Donald Trump definitely has his priorities in order. Obuma only cared about the gay agenda and illegals.
Girl bye!
Obuma laughed at President Trump when he spoke of this during the campaign. Obuma don’t care about these people jobs.You democrats are straight losers and you hate to give credit where credit is due.
Trump will be a president for all people because Obuma most def was not one to Black people.He avoided Black people like we were the plague.
Duh….Are you democrats really that clueless?Please say you are joking.You need to seek real news because your liberal sources aren’t going to tell you what’s going on.
President Trump negotiated with the CEO of Carrier to keep jobs in America.
Open post huh #playlist :headphones:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HAEr9usyPY
All Trump and Pence is doing is giving Carrier Millions from the Federal government and millions of incentives from the state. They gave Carrier money to stay here in America. What else is new?
By giving them millions in state incentives and federal dollars.
How do you know he want give 100 billion for Urban Renewal? I know for damn sho that the democratic party hasn’t done a thing for the black community.
What does President Trump have to do with Vine City? Vine City is in the hood and black people have been over that hood for a long time as they have in many black communities.
President Trump is bad…Just look at Obuma’s “adopted” home town aka Chiraq”…
I said that when I heard it this morning Liter. I want to see the fine print. Hell he can’t even negotiate his own deals
These fucckin companies like Carrier have a choice as to if they want to move over seas. They BS with that outsourcing chit just to get money from the government, state and federal.
The state of Indiana is essentially paying for them not to ship some of the jobs away. They are still closing another plant and moving jobs. Yet again how is he doing any of the actual work. Taking credit for other people’s efforts is not okay.
You said something key here “chose to move”.
So what…If that keep jobs in America I’m all for it.He’s doing something but you democrats are going to hate on him regardless.
Yeah, actually they “saved” 1000 jobs out of a total 2100 jobs. So yeah, some people will still be working. But and here is the point, they offered up significant tax breaks to keep them here, which is what the Orange one railed against during his klan rallies…oops I meant rallies. This will be a trend for his administration. Give the businesses what they want. But hey?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6c826079d494f48bb9f63cf5c7ef4daa03f97f10744815ffd21036296685e71e.png
Dunce.
Oh please get out of his with that nonsense.
I definitely applaud President Trump if he shows he care about American workers as opposed to hanging out with celebrities and playing golf all day.
Carrier chose to want to move overseas because it would be better for their bottom line. Carrier is the reason why those people would have lost jobs, not the Democrats hun, how clueless are you, since everyone else is clueless but you.
First off u don’t know nothing about vine city. That area has changed and the housing market has went up. Secondly leave obama out of this. The thing with Trump is that he made comments about the African American community that he knows nothing about just he has been doing with plenty of subjects. He has plenty to do with it since he getting on stage talking bout our communities.If he puts 10 million in our community I’ll buy u a drink
I’m on sylvan and that area turning around. I just bought a home there
Same with Chicago. There are pockets of bad areas, like in any big city, but to listen to the media you’d think it was a lawless, post apocalyptic wasteland.
And still sending half the jobs to Mexico.
lol exactly
“rebuild our inner cities because our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they’ve been in before. Ever. Ever. Ever.”
________________________________________________________
I’ve never heard him say anything other than “the blacks” never Ever. Ever. Ever. heard him say African American.
Girl Bye…Vine City is a dump and you know it.LMAO!
I’ll bring up Obuma if I want to.Whether you want to admit it or not,Black people are at the bottom even below illegals an that’s sad. Being in denial is not helping our people.
IDK why
1300 Carrier jobs are still going to mexico
No they chose to stay after President Trump persuaded them to. I don’t see democratic politicians doing that.
CNN claims 600 of those Carrier jobs are still going to Mexico. $hit how many jobs did he really save…
That’s a MFN lie. Me and all my black friends and family are doing well, definitely not living below no damn illegals.
As you have stated time and time again on this here issue, GIRL BYE.

Dead ??
You already lost by even giving CNN aka Clinton News Network any credibility.
They gave Carrier money to stay here in America whats so great about that?

Let them pay for security and protection..
Let them pay for security and protection..
Yes I live in Atlanta,BrookHaven to be exact.
I been to the hood and I know Sylvan Road is like a war zone in itself.It’s a real garbage spot and you know that,so why front on this blog? Shots are fired in that dump, on the regular.
A million dollars a day, the secret service apt (unless Donnie pay) closing sections of 5th Ave.. TUH she better go on to DC
I’m not wrong and you will see ??? And to have the nerve to say “you democrats are losers” is just as vile as the trump supporters I have seen spreading hate
When will you silly people realize this isn’t about you and your friends.It’s not about my “well off family”. This is about 25% of our people in deep poverty because it’s real,
400 jobs… they gave carrier and It’s parent company millions and millions in tax cut to save 400 jobs.
I think he doesn’t want to live in the White House because he doesn’t want to be president. He knows he is in over his head but doesn’t know how to get out of it.
They gave gave carrier 7 million in Indiana tax payer money for this company to stay and support around 1000 jobs. It’s the same corporate well fare tactics that have been going on for years.
Oh lawd
Or because they won’t be able to build a secret adult nursery for when Donald’s had a stressful day and needs to suck his binky, poop his Depends, and have mommy Melania bathe him and rub petroleum jelly on his bum.
Oh so u seen my home? My over 200000 renovated home? Wow Brookhaven wow so fawking what??? I bet ain’t nobody checking for u still! U make fun of my hood but will never bring yo azz over here!! Never! U wouldn’t last. I’m ATL born n raised so I know where my city been and where it’s going. U so right boo. Stay in Brookhaven and stay out my city. Enjoy your night!
Lol I cry everytime
Block that bih. Waste of your energy and time. I rather you scratch your ass on your free time
rofl lololol
Correction Sandra. Donald Dump was able to secure the 1k jobs by paying Carrier $700k annually courtesy of the tax payers of Indiana. If he considers this to be his keen negotiating skills, this country will be bankrupt before mid-term elections. This is why Mike Pence is remaining on board as the s Governor of Indiana until the end of the year. He’s schedule to sign the order into law on December 15th?
I do after I get the last words lol
Feel you on that
Foolishness … I tell ya
Wake up and realize that it is not now and will never be about the 25% of people in poverty. It’s about the 1% that control this country and in part the world. It’s all about them and their wealth. Look at who trump has pick to be in his cabinet. That Nazi supporter is just a distraction. Look at all the 1%ers. Billionaires. Money managers. Corrupt bankers. Everything else is a smoke screen. Stay woke. That’s what’s real out there.
ugh he’s gloating who the hell takes a victory tour.
This is going to be a great four years. This man knows how to run a business and America is one great big business. Poor Hillary…she looks like someone dropped her from a building and stomped on her face.
She’s going to move to DC as soon as the school year is over. Nothing wrong with not wanting to yank your children out of school in the middle of the year.
They also predicted that Hillary Clinton was going to win. You see how that turned out.
At least he’s not calling us the n-word like we call ourselves.
Only a business person could negotiate that. Sandra can you believe the media is still shitting all over him saying all of this is nothing? The man has saved jobs at at least 3 companies, he’s not even in office. SMDH
That’s how he won by telling his dumb af supporters lies and they believe. Trump had not a damn thing to do with this.They’re allowing him to ride this wave because Pence wants to be president 2020. These negotiations started last year. Indiana state officials did this…NOT TRUMP! This is why you need to worry about who you’re putting in office on a local level. This is simply progression of 8yrs of work president Obama did. Allowing states to offer my incentives to come or stay in that state on top federal funds. Stop this BS!!!
A narcissistic bastid.
Not thanks to Trump, but Mike Pence since he is governor. He’s the one in control of this deal. What’s more, we don’t even know what’s been negotiated yet. They can turn and move to Mexico next year. Trump didn’t do jack. What’s more, only 1000 jobs have been “saved.” What about the other 1000 or more? Before you go slapping him on the back, now the facts. He’s done NOTHING.
Oh, and another thing…most of the jobs are going automated, so how is he going to address that? Many of those low-skilled people are being replaced with robots. The ones keeping their jobs are on a higher technical skill level. How are those who are being pushed aside by robots going to get work. Has your man addressed that?
Sandygirl…both stupid and a kiss ass. wants to be white so bad….
I don’t call myself the N word, so we is very wide-ranging. Many don’t.
Nothing but a photo op.
Right. The taxpayers are on the hook for this one. And if Trump were really that effective, he would have stopped ALL 2000 jobs from going to Mexico, not just half.
Hell yeah all of this!
Thank u!
U can’t reason with crazy don’t try
The logo on the above image is a trademark infringement to Ford.
Don’t reason with crazy it don’t work
Isn’t this “Corporate Welfare” that the Repukes screamed about when President Obama bailed out the Auto industry? Anone that thinks this was a good move is an idiot. Now ANY company that wants a free handout from Trump will threaten to move to another country. He’s going to make some of you long for GWB….
Kuff those rednecks!!! That is sheer BS????.
You poor, pathetic, country cornfed fools. You elected a con artist and you still can’t see it.
Trust tRump will be mega wealthy like Cheney and Bush when his tenure is over. As for the country, who ya gonna blame when this country goes belly up?
Trump saved this company just like Christopher Columbus discovered America…
#Dead
Obama saved THOUSANDS of GM Jobs.
You a mess with the memes.
Gross.
Ding Dong!!!!!!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. All the racists who jumped on the “this is Trump’s America now” campaign are in for a rude awakening. Donald Trump only cares for the wealthy and what benefits the rich business man, that’s it, because that’s what he is.
When they find out he doesn’t care about their trailer park, white sheet wearing behinds they will issue a lynching for him.
Hmm…
Not sure if your aware of this but Donald Trump is already worth $3.7 billion. Doesn’t that count as ‘mega wealthy’?
…and in terms of going ‘belly up’, this country CURRENTLY has a national debt of over $19 TRILLION dollars… On January 20th, 2009 (the day Obama began his presidency) the national debt was just over $10 trillion.
EXACTLY AND IF TRUMP IS SOOOOO CONCERNED ABOUT JOBS IN AMERICA THEN WHY DOESN’T HE BRING TO AMERICA ALLLLL OF THOSE JOBS HE’S CREATED OVERSEAS FROM ALLL OF HIS MANUFACTURING BEING DONE THERE INCLUDING MEXICO AND CHINA? HE HASN’T SAID ONCE HE’S GOING TO BE THE EXAMPLE AND FORERUNNER TO ALL OF THE OTHER COMPANY’S THAT ARE MANUFACTURING THEIR GOODS OVERSEAS. WHAT A HYPOCRITE!!!!…………..JENNY JONES!!!!
Trumb isnt a smart man, but he dam sure is lucky! This has nothing to do with a grwat “deal” its just good timing.
See now … thats exactly it
You may not feel the repercussions of a trump presidency now, but your children sure will. Obama did what he could but haters will say he didnt do enough.. anything to go against their own self interest because the man was black.
To run the country like its a business means everything is for “sale”. This includes you and your familes livelyhood.. but you caught in a wave right now but youll see?
Carrier Deal Gets Worse As Trump Spent 7 Million Taxpayer Dollars To Keep 800 Jobs In US
By Jason Easley on Thu, Dec 1st, 2016
The deal that Donald Trump negotiated with United Technologies to keep
Carrier jobs in Indiana is getting even worse. Trump and Pence gave
United Technologies $7 million of taxpayer money in exchange for only
keeping 800 jobs in the US.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/64d2f21abec7697e69e77905f0f0f77608c0e84f5af45dc43fb6b52db6594acb.jpg
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/12/01/carrier-deal-worse-trump-spent-7-million-taxpayer-dollars-800-jobs.html
Whatever uncle tom
Wow he filed bankruptcy on his companies 6 times, owe China 900 million and they are acting as if he saved a global economy. I am ROTFLMAO when they even try to compare him to Obama. Pence stayed Governor so he can give Carrier the funds of the group he is President of so Trump can take correct. Trump doesn’t have the power to do such a thing. Wanted to throw up when the commentators was saying he did what he said he was gonna do. They are an idiot to think that Mexico only depends on America for their economy. Trump id not going to the media and take questions because they will roast him. They will ask him why isn’t he bringing his clothes back to America to be made. I was looking my brother Charles Blow on the panel last night and he was off the chain. This was all a set up to make Trump look as if he did something.
Donald’s personal debt with China is over 300 million and you think he can balance the country’s budget.
Bankruptcy 6 times so you know what direction the country is going.
you are on drugs right trying to compare him to Obama.
Where is Omarosa job since she was Trump’s Black Division Director.
Love it.
Love the West End vibe. Why doesn’t anyone every talk about the trailer parks in Cobb and Gwinnett counties.
Its just smoke and mirrors yall. Mark my words the next few months the media will tread lightly on Trump (unless he says something dumb) they will try to perceive him in a better light to the watchers. Hell he may even run into a burning building to save a family of cats….
To day Obama don’t care about these people jobs is precisely like my saying that you don’t. I don’t know him personally and I am almost 100.9% positive you do not either. Obama saved millions of jobs during his presidency, mine included because I was one of those millions that the Bush regime had included in the federal budget as an “unfunded mandate”. Google it for additional information. So, for clarity’s sake, reread my original post and when Trump saves more than .00038095238 jobs as compared to Obama, hit this post up. And just for grins and giggles, ain’t been a president in history that has been a president for ALL people and it will surely not begin with Trump.

They don’t want to live there because Trump never thought he’d win and figured he’d be on vacation right now, and Ivanka doesn’t want to live there because how is she going to cheat on that old, crusty, orange man with secret service members all over her every move. “THEY MADE IT LOOK SO EASY ON ‘SCANDAL’!”
And if you truly understood statistics (because I compile them daily as a statistician), they are manipulated to show and support precisely what people want them to show especially when the raw data is too much to deal with. I.E. 319 million Americans in US; 12.3% are black=39,237,000. 25% in poverty =9,809,250.
319 million American in US; 63% non-hispanic whites=200,970,000. 10.1% in poverty=20,297,970. There are more whites in poverty than blacks just as there are more whites receiving tax-payer funded social services than blacks (though African Americans are the face of it) but that 25% versus 10% is used to assuage when the truth pill is too bitter to swallow. Get it? Got it? Good!
We know that but she don’t report on that though she has an agenda called Trump her savior!
Bloop! LOL
So true coming to a city that supported Clinton, mean while passing up folks that supported you.
Yeah like Bo Derek invented braids and Madonna inventing the dance voguing.
She ain’t trying to look at Trump every day and night. I don’t blame her. Sounds to me like they sleep in separate bedrooms anyway the way he be tweeting at 4/5/6 am. If you are stroking you ain’t tweeting.
They also predicted that Trump was smart ands we see how that turned out.
what happened to the other thousands that’s overseas? Every time I need CS and I call… We have a language barrier…. hello.. yes.. thank you.. as I was saying… no, no it’s okay. I will help you. No, no. I have no way of transferring you to an American rep. Ugh! and let’s not forget Trump and His daughter also have companies overseas..
WOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blahhh Blahhh Blahhhh
Kudos to him BUT AT WHAT COST TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! there is always a price to pay.
So I guess we should just forget about the 1300 jobs that will be outsourced to Mexico. This was not a good deal, because it only protects 800 jobs and will cost taxpayers over 7 million dollars. Meanwhile United Technologies Corp (the company that owns carrier) will walk away with 7 million in taxpayer money, and receive countless incentive packages. They’ll get all of this, and they didn’t have to keep in America even half of the 2100 jobs that they were originally outsourcing. Trump said Carrier had to keep all of the jobs here or he would heavily tax them. This just shows that he cares more about giving incentives to these corporations than he does about the average working American. He sold wolf tickets, and the idiots on the right bought them.
And let’s see if some of the people who’s job he saved (some of whom whined about him running) will send him a Thank You card for Christmas….
Carrier Got A Taxpayer Handout Because Trump Owns Stock In Their Parent Company
By Jason Easley on Fri, Dec 2nd, 2016 at 1:53 pm
The Carrier deal has turned into a prime example of the sorts of conflicts
of interest that will be coming to the White House with Donald Trump. It
turns out the president-elect gave Carrier $7 million in taxpayer money
and he owns stock in Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies.

Is anyone surprised?
Love you.
Only trouble is Trump is pals with Kissinger the Jew who covered up 911
Hillary is no better, her price was just lower
yeah, the pound of flesh. Just another Jewish dog in the white house
