    Just ask a "low tax burden for the wealthy creates more jobs" people if they owned a small restaurant, and let's assume that foot traffic in your restaurant is constant, if you received a tax cut, would you use that tax cut to hire more servers even if foot traffic into your restaurant hasn't changed?

    Meanwhile, trump's great deal between chinese company foxconn and the state of Wisconsin? Here's a one-year update on that taxpayer boondoggle that WI citizens paid foxconn $5 billion in subsidies ...

    ONE YEAR AFTER TRUMP’S FOXCONN GROUNDBREAKING, THERE IS ALMOST NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT
    Trump called it the ‘eighth wonder of the world’ — then the factory began to shrink

    Worst deal maker ever 45 has shown he has no real clue as to what he's doing.

    Companies will follow the workers. If Trump doesn't want people to immigrate here, then companies will immigrate to over there costing us jobs.

    Trump is a fool of fools

    Obviously, not having any tariffs on Chinese products would stop this.

    to counter Trump's additional tariffs on consumer goods, Apple/FoxConn have made supply chain moves; they'll be increasing iPhone/Mac production in Viet Nam

    Apart from having a lower labor cost than China, Viet Nam is also not subject to the Trump tariffs.


    it's interesting to note that ,

    within the Vietnamese American communities, including Westminster, CA, Houston, La, etc., there is
    a strong anti-Trump sentiment because he is commie Putin's b****.

    in communist-ruled Viet Nam, he is well-liked, as It has become the biggest beneficiary
    of the Trump-induced trade war w China​
