Trump claims a “deal” was struck with Carrier to save ~1000 jobs. Of course, NYT immediately blares it as “breaking news” and a “a powerful tactical strike that will rally his base” from their front page. No details on what this supposed deal is, other than a promise (a tiny pinky swear?) to cut regulations and taxes on a company that, according to the article, already receives 10% of its revenue from taxpayers as a defense contractor. Interesting how when unions negotiate with corporations, it’s anti-capitalist, but when Trump does it he’s the working man’s hero.
