Promises Broken

The Guardian published an op-ed on Friday (link here) about how Donald Trump promised during the 2016 campaign to bring jobs back to America's heartland.

Two years later, the reality is that not only has Trump not done that, he's made the job loss problem worse.

The piece provides a real-world example about how Trump has done nothing to stop job losses and has, instead, rewarded a company like Siemens that ships American jobs overseas.

Trump could sign an executive order prohibiting companies that contract with the federal government from sending American jobs abroad. But he hasn't done that and, instead, the White House says that job losses are a state and local problem.

It's sad how many people believed what Trump promised during the campaign only to learn now he's a liar. Just a few minutes of searching online during 2016, however, would have shown he has a long history of lying and making promises he has no intention of honoring.
