    He's not piling up success, he is taking credit for things he didn't even really do

    Read the article.

    He has the power to levy 14%+ tariffs without a congressional vote. He's been threatening companies with tariffs and they've been investing in the states and keeping jobs here.

    They don't want to admit they're being pushed around so they'll say things like "we were going to anyway."

    Uh, no. You're understating how many. And many aren't publicized as companies see predictions of improved business climate and call off plans.

    They don't have to say anything along those lines, but they do.

    Obviously they were going to shut down plants and move jobs, or they wouldn't be announcing they changed their minds.

    Trump has been tweeting about imposing tariffs. He "changed his mind" after seeing other companies change their mind.

    They weren't announcing they're changing their mind before the election.

    That is the point.

    Well, you have no point. Just a conspiracy theory. That's the point.

    I think you are trying too hard to give trump credit, let his "wins" be self evident.

    How many similar stories after Trump tweets does it take?

    He's now going after GM. Expect another win.

    And expect it to be explained away.

    Warren is a tough broad.

    So far that accomplishment is still Obama's legacy, only he likes to call it "bailing out" not cutting taxes.

    Warren is a corrupt hypocrite who endorsed and campaigned for Clinton after accusing her of being a crook and a traitor until she suddenly "had a change of heart and bank account balance from the DNC. Totally bought just as Bernie was.

    Like the whole left side of the country, she is too flat out stupid to ever get "it".

    "It" is why Trump was elected.

    "It" is this: EVERYONE AND EVERY PROCESS THAT WASHINGTON USES IS RIGGED TO HURT AMERICANS AND ENRICH THE POLITICAL ELITE.

    "WE" don't want anyone who is going to continue "It", regardless of party.

    She may as well ask does DeVos have experience taking people's homes, their children, their guns, their bibles, their cars, their medical decisions, their Freedoms in every way possible and giving nothing in return. That is Warren's establishment life and it's pretty much going down in ruins over the next few years while America climbs off life support and starts to kick ass again.

    Not long from now historians will take the 1964-2016 era and give it a nickname, something like America's Lost Years, and people will shudder at how close our country came to death.

    ANYONE on this board could do Warren's job, as it has no requirements, measures of success, standards of production or even vague goals. She is exempted from nearly every law Americans must follow including participating in the ACA.

    It's called a lie, and it's what you say when you've been caught doing something bad.

    As in "Okay, you caught me stealing a car, but I was going to bring it back after I cruised around a little, Officer".

    Tax breaks to wealthy companies?!?!?

    This is a totally brand new concept, right?!?!?

    (Meanwhile, Nike, Intel, and a whole bunch of others look away sheepishly.)
