Still winning.

While idiots are worked up over Pocahontas being thrown out of the Senate for her potty mouth, real America keeps seeing these real high paying jobs that Trump continues to bring to Americans.

This time Arizona is the winner.

Did you actually read that?

It says the factory is already partially built and that Intel used the exact same factory to appease Obama, twice.

I was going to say... Didn't Intel announce 12,000 layoffs over time a couple years ago?

If Trump cut 12,000 to 9,000, good for him, but that's not nearly enough.

I did. Here is the exact quote from the Intel CEO
Krzanich added that Trump's "advantageous" tax and regulatory policies are partly responsible for their decision to announce the new factory at the White House. Trump called the investment "a great thing for Arizona," and said the products will be "amazing."

That's an old plan that everyone in Silicon Valley already knew about like a year ago.

LOL

Yuge Intel Press Release.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intel Corporation today announced plans to invest more than $7 billion to complete Fab 42, which is expected to be the most advanced semiconductor factory in the world.

This thanks to Trump, will be in the USA.

yes- major corporations have figured out that if you go sit with POTUS and make some inane announcement and give him credit for something vague or already in the works that he can tweet out to his lemmings he'll ply you with tax and regulatory cuts.....business people much smarter than him are playing him like a fiddle.....

I am about as anti-Trump as they come. I didnt' vote for him. I think he's a narcissist in over his head and I hope he gets impeached ASAP. With that said. I am capable of recognizing that there is some GOOD that he can do and giving credit where credit is due. It's amazing to watch the left trip over themselves to **** all over whatever good may come out of this administration for no other reason than spite or pettiness.

Fab 42 already exists. It was announced in 2011. Some may recall Obama coming to Arizona in 2012 to hype it. The plant was intended to built 14 nanometer chips, but the market tanked, and the plant was never utilized as intended. Intel is now planning to build 7 nanometer wafers there. The plans have been in the works for more than a couple months obviously, but Trump, like Obama before him is welcome to claim a victory. People just need to see this posturing for what it is.
