    Well, first what needs to happen is to find out what Fox News link you were using.

    :yawn:
    Even the link in the OP doesn't mention Fox, so obviously she just lied about it to make it more attractive clickbait for right wingers.

    Maybe they didn't. There have been statements his son had made, that have been attributed to Trump's authorship, as well as statements from his doctor.

    It would be easier to believe if most everything he has done didn't help the country. How can an idiot get this economy going red hot in just a year and a half when just before he came in office the economist were complaining of to many low paying service and part time jobs. When most on the Left were saying those good paying factory jobs were gone and not coming back. When the last two administrations couldn't fix our VA that was not giving our veterans good and timely care. When Trump can completely turn our military around that was falling apart? I mean he is doing things no other administration has done in decades, if ever. How can an idiot do all that? Can you answer that? As a matter of fact, why is the Left trying to kill the goose laying the golden egg?? Why in hell are you voting Blue?

    Blue-collar jobs are growing at their fastest rate in more than 30 years, helping fuel a hiring boom in many small towns and rural areas that are strong supporters of President Trump ahead of November's mid-term elections.


    Jobs in goods-producing industries — mining, construction, and manufacturing — grew 3.3 percent in the year preceding July, the best rate since 1984, according to a Washington Post analysis.

    Blue collar jobs, long a small and shrinking part of the U.S. Economy, are now growing at a faster clip than those in America's much larger service economy. Many factors collided to produce the blue collar boom. Some are tied to short-term boom-and-bust cycles, but others may endure. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/msn/under-trump-the-jobs-boom-has-finally-

    Ford Motor Company had been planning to build a $1.6 billion factory in Mexico.

    Hyundai Motor Co



    The South Korean auto maker announced it will boost its spending in the U.S. By 50% over planned levels, spending $3.1 billion over the next five years.

    The company didn’t give specific number for job creation, but with that kind of expenditure — and the possibility of a new factory — it’s definitely going to be more jobs for American workers.

    No, he's still an idiot - but the strength I think I could agree on is his ability to name and shame entities into doing things that might otherwise not be in their best interests. Trump is a talker who knows how to motivate dumb people, and so when he calls for a boycott those dumb people listen and those who cater to those dumb people also need to listen.

    But what you posted is a lot to respond to. Some of it happens with or without Trump. Some of it is momentum leftover from the previous president. Some of it is the bright side of a trade-off. "More steel jobs" isn't necessarily a good thing, for example. America is an educated country that should be producing complicated, high-tech products with its high wages. Somebody (or machines) need to mine, but doing more mining in a country like America means increasing prices for everybody as compared to using cheaper labor markets to do mining, and more expensive steel for the things our economy is geared to produce lowers our standard of living by raising prices.

    I'm not going to even try to be comprehensive in my reply, but I will also touch upon the last point. Having terminally ill people use unproven drugs is not necessarily a good thing. Most of the time, this just wastes money and makes people suffer more on false hope while spending healthcare dollars that are unavailable to people who could have been helped. When a drug is unproven, it should be used in the context of clinical trials so that the experience can be used to figure out whether they can help or not, not some free-for-all right to try. And still, doctors could already prescribe things off-label if they have any reason to agree that it's worth a shot, and they are in a more educated and less biased position on whether it's worth a shot than a desperate terminally ill person who is still in denial.

    I made the same observation, but was to lazy to respond to the laundry list. The one I did look into was FORD. They did in fact cancel the Mexico plant (before Trump took office) but the FORD CEO stated it had nothing to do with Trump, but rather a business decision. Then recently we learn FORD is exiting the sedan business except for the Focus (Made in Mexico) and Mustang.
    Some of the others IIRC were just business as usual for the companies named.

    Yup. Woodward has a loooong record of honesty and journalistic excellence. He documents and tapes everything 3 - 4 times. Clearly, you don't know the man. Mattis & company are running for cover.

    Tapes? Don't you mean recordings?

    And if he does have recordings, then let's hear them or they don't exist.

    Oh! BTW, I have "tapes" too.

    And recordings of what?

    Are you telling me that Trump's cabinet members are on recordings saying these things?

    Do you think people would be so stupid to have themselves recorded saying one thing and then later come out saying they never said such things?

    And if he does have recordings, then let's hear them or they don't exist.

    Why are you alt-lefties so easily conned?

    Have you never been interviewed? Nearly ALL interviewers use a small recorder for the past 40 years.
