Funny you should say that, because all of the following announcements were made between March 2014 and September 2016, when a certain president whose last name began with an "O" was in office. Interesting the Trump cultists weren't writing "MAGA" when these things were announced.

What the Trump cultists who get all their info from Breitbart don't understand is that there are new factories, plant expansions and hiring sprees going on all the time, no matter who is president. It's only when suddenly their Guru gets elected do they start paying attention, and because they never paid attention before they think it's all something new and different that's never happened before, or at least not for decades. I'm sorry to inform you, but while the Foxconn announcement is nice, it's not particularly unusual.

This is also just a fraction of what was going on during that time. I only collected the larger announcements.

Apologies that some of these are broken links (I started collecting these a while ago). If you don't believe any particular headline linked here I will be happy to find a replacement. I've actually been doing this since about 2003.
