Maybe there needs to be a catchphrase for this or something....

like.... "you've been TRUMPED!" (insert whip-cracking noise)....

With this bunch a rim shot would be appropriate.

it also came out that the deal to hire more here was in the works before trump knew of it, and he took credit before being elected so not sure what policies of his could have helped anyway.

In fairness Pence lead that and it likely did keep some jobs here. It was the governor not the vp or p.

It sort of was, but don’t mistake theatrics and politics for Zero gains. Both can exist. Someone in Indiana has a job because of Pence’s efforts and trumps politics. Sure it is nothing like they said, and sure the $$$ is outrageous for the result. But I wouldn’t confuse that with no benefit. If you are that guy you are happy about it.

Couple that with the he’s not racist he’s just elitist and all about socio economic crap that people are using to defend him from the chithole stuff and you are starting to see the picture.

Who in their right mind ever thought Trump legitimately was for the common joe or forgotten people. It’s as if Trump dropped out of the sky and there was no record of him. Anyone paying attention to him since .... say the 70s or 80s knows better. I attribute it to people being desperate and the dems running Hillary. I don’t know why anyone would walk lock step with him and defend his every action now.

It’s one thing to not want to criticize everything he does and want him to succeed. But the defense of some of the undefesable things he does and says is bizarre at a minimum and potentially very sad.
