With this model, more companies will get tax incentives, even as they move workers to Mexico.

“He is going to put on the table all the tools that are going to take away the advantages of companies that for far too long have been pulling up stakes, leaving American workers behind,” Pence told ABC.

Asked if Trump would now pick up the phone to call other companies considering shipping jobs overseas, Pence said “the president-elect will make those decisions on a day-by-day basis.”

Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Reince Priebus, said he expected the president-elect would be burning up the phone lines to warn companies to keep jobs at home.

“I would not be surprised if he wasn’t on the phone with all of these companies, as many as he can to encourage them to stay, stick it out,” Priebus told Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends.”

    So this is what the president is going to do, on a “day to day basis’?…
    May the gawds help us all…(in between tweets)

      The president is not supposed to micro-manage the nation’s economy. But at least this will distract him from his idiotic wall.

        You mean the “metaphorical wall”…
        The wall that will never be built..

          I think it is more like a fence, so I heard!

    If local governments have to keep bribing them to get them to stay, they will all go broke.

    “Piecemeal” is not a sound strategy for implementing federal policy.

    He’d better do Carrier-style bailouts on an every day basis. If Trump does only one a week, it would take 38 years to catch up with Obama’s Detroit bailout alone.

    This is why you don’t elect small-ball players like Trump to office.

    He now has a big checkbook, and somebody else’s money to spend
