Shortly before Donald Trump was sworn in, there was that whole issue with the Carrier
heating and air conditioning company that was going to ship a bunch of jobs overseas
and then allegedly, Donald Trump swooped in, saved a few hundred of those jobs but the
company still shipped most of them out of the United States.
It was that moment that Donald Trump used to say "Look what I'm doing.
I am saving American jobs.
I am making companies keep their jobs in the United States.
I did it with Ford."
Which was actually done under a deal with Obama, but Trump decided to take credit for
it anyway.
He's like "Ford's not shipping those jobs to Mexico because of me."
Well, no.
You had nothing to do with that.
That was done long before you, but why not?
Your supporters will believe whatever you say anyway.
Go ahead and take the damn credit.
Here's the truth.
100 days in, do you know how many jobs have left the country since Inauguration Day?
Just a few shy of 12,000.
12,000 U.S. jobs have left the country since Donald Trump was sworn in, so we're losing,
on average, 120 American jobs every day to foreign countries.
That's how many are being shipped overseas.
What's Donald Trump doing about it?
Well, the answer is absolutely nothing.
I mean, this is a man who makes his own products overseas.
His daughter gets her products made overseas.
They don't care about American jobs.
They care about profits and that's what corporations do care about as well.
They care about their profits.
If it costs them a couple extra dollars an hour to keep jobs in the United States or
ship them overseas, they're going to ship them overseas every time.
The reason they get away with this is because there are no punishments.
I know Donald Trump said when he came in he was going to punish these companies.
He was going to tax the hell out of them, basically make their goods not competitive
in the United States if they shipped their jobs overseas.
We're punishing you.
Well, he's punished nobody.
In fact, most of the companies that have shipped jobs overseas are getting government contracts.
56% of government contractors have outsourced U.S. jobs in the last year.
56% of them.
We're rewarding them rather than punishing them.
This isn't surprising by any means, but the reason this has to be discussed is because
Donald Trump personally promised us that he was going to put an end to outsourcing of
jobs, that he was going to punish these companies.
Instead, outsourcing has increased in just one hundred days and these people are getting
lucrative, multi-million dollar government contracts.
That is the Trump administration in a nutshell.
It's what happened under Obama.
It's what happened under George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, so it really is no different
but the big difference overall is that Trump swore up and down when he was visiting those
Rust Belt states where people were hurting from loss of jobs, that he was going to bring
those jobs back, prevent other jobs from leaving the country and that's what duped those terrified
people into voting for this man and that's what gave him the presidency.
Donald Trump is a con man and he conned these people.
He conned everyone who voted for him that's not a member of the one percent.
He's not bringing jobs back.
He's letting them go overseas.
He's looking the other way and then as soon as they come to him for a government handout,
he is more than willing to sign that check and give them a couple hundred million dollars,
even though they did exactly what he told them they shouldn't be doing.
