Is there anything that comes out of his big mouth that he doesn't 'change' later down the road???

Ha! Don't hold your breath. I have an Ivanka blouse that I bought at Ross for $15 before his nomination. It's cute, but has the quality of something bought at Target. Original price from the retail store? 75.00.

Yea! More jobs for non-Americans; this will certainly help MAGA!
I believe many of those "temporary" workers are students who come here to work vacation areas in jobs today's American kids do NOT seek anymore.

Less and less American kids have part time jobs in high school.

The same for college.

I live in one of those areas and see it every year.

Instead of asking a question, in a negative manner, why don't you FIND OUT INSTEAD of making assumptions.

Washington based Boeing opened up its new plant in the South.

The major 3 auto manufacturing companies have, and HAVE HAD for decades, assembly plants in Canada and Mexico and other counties.

Why do you think that is other then your baseless claim of "greed"?
Keep trying. It wasn't unions that sent Boing overseas. Did you know that when we started our disastrous Iraq adventure we had to wait for parts from some other country that was opposed to the invasion? They offshored that technology to save money on labor. And the union guys were only making about 20 per hour.

We taxpayers are still paying for that fiasco. In blood and cash, but Halliburton and Blackwater made a KILLING, at least. Hope you had stock in those corps.

That's it, blame it on the unions. Everyone should make $5/hr. or none at all like it is in Georgia & S. Carolina ;

Yes, he is. And the administration just approved a 45% increase in such visas, nationwide. America first, right? As long as we agree to live ten people to a small house and eat rice!

Why can't Trump refurbish a clothing factory in Ohio or anywhere in the south? What about Texas or the southwest? Modified sweat shops are not that difficult to put up.

Sorry. He's had PLENTY of time.

Nah. Trump just talks out of BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH.

DESCRIBE "leveling the playing field". Tell us what measures need to be taken and what has been accomplished as of today.
"Modified sweat shops are not that difficult to put up."

OK genius, how many have YOU set up?

How do you KNOW it is "not that difficult to put up"

How many do you PERSONALLY KNOW OF?

I laugh at all the "experts" on business on here when the vast majority have NEVER been successful business owner.
