Union leader: Trump ‘lied his a** off’ on Carrier deal
United Steelworkers president Chuck Jones says the deal is a sham.
Click here for reuse options!Jones, president of the United Steelworkers 1999, which represents Carrier employees, felt optimistic when Trump announced last week that he’d reached a deal with the factory’s parent company, United Technologies, to preserve 1,100 of the Indianapolis jobs — until the union leader heard from Carrier that only 730 of the production jobs would stay and 550 of his members would lose their livelihoods, after all.
At the Dec. 1 meeting, where Trump was supposed to lay out the details, Jones hoped he would explain himself.
“But he got up there,” Jones said Tuesday, “and, for whatever reason, lied his a– off.”
In front of a crowd of about 150 supervisors, production workers and reporters, Trump praised Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies. “Now they’re keeping — actually the number’s over 1,100 people,” he said, “which is so great.”
…“Trump and Pence, they pulled a dog and pony show on the numbers,” said Jones, who voted for Hillary Clinton but called her “the better of two evils.” “I almost threw up in my mouth.”

yeah i don’t believe he voted for Hillary. and i’m sick of the stupids who keep saying she’s the better of two evils. that couldn’t be further from the truth. the only “evil” they keep attributing to her are the lies being spun over and over again, email and benghazi. tRump, well, that would take up this entire page to list the evil he has done, the evil he is doing and the evil he’s capable of doing. so they need to shut that sh!t down now.

Wow. And I thought on this website there were just eight hardcore Democratic Party faithfuls and me. Welcome. I clicked your link and a devil face appeared on my screen and said “GAME OVER”. Is that what I was supposed to do? ;)

We need a new feature on this page that appears every day. Trump Lied. On the rare days when Trump doesn’t lie you could write in bold letters TRUMP DID NOT LIE TODAY. THAT’S ONE IN A ROW.

So both Clinton and trump are evil ?
I sure hope this Union president is good at solving his own problems….

There was a time when Americas DID solve their own problems, and looking to the government to “help” was less the go-to position of citizens. The Democratic saying used to be “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” (or some such liberal nonsense). Solving our own problems is a good place to start. And yes, both Clinton and Trump ARE pretty messed up people. Of the two, only one has been in an elected position of power where American lives are at stake. Clinton’s judgement on solving complicated problems while moving toward a peaceful solution that involves a reduced loss of life, American or innocents, is suspect, in my opinion given her actual job performance. Remember the CIA gun running operation in Benghazi? I sure do. If Clinton is who I look to solve my problems….well…that’s just nuts.

“CIA gun running operation in Benghazi?”
Now I get it. You’re a kook.

Today I heard on satellite radio that nyc is over 100 billion in debt. With more then 1/3 on welfare and food stamps
If donald wanted to demonstrate his ability to ” help ” he sure took full advantage of blowing off his own city and state.
Please correct me if I’m mistaken…

Only a Hillary Clinton supporter could turn saving jobs into a negative story. Clinton and her easily fooled supporters are all probably upset about Mexico losing jobs TO the United States. Not what she and her husband promised our hemispheric world leaders when they did their whirlwind tour of our 2 Continents to convince everyone to sign onto NAFTA-GATT in the first place. Trump, I am hopeful, will stop some of the bleeding that some Americans have started in what can only be an attempt to hurt this great nation.
Sy Colepath December 7th, 2016 at 09:50
If you read the article, he was upset that trump is basically lying about how many jobs were actually saved; not 1,100, but 730. I’d say that was significant.
Hope all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that trump is a liar.

Trump ‘lied his a** off’. 95% of Earthlings are brighter than Donnie & his U.S. voter 46%. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/54915d760fc980304ca38088ad0fc48ec3c4920f20a7ce1cf050aea57631209a.jpg

Carrier jobs saved? it was nothing more than
a bribe to keep 800 jobs here, 1400 jobs are
still going to Mexico, this deal is no
comparison to Obama rescuing an entire
manufacturing industry (autos) which is
vital to our economy!!!
