Trump: Softbank to Invest 50 Gagillion Dollars, Will Help America Become Great Again

Trump met with the CEO of Softbank today, who was summoned to Trump Tower. After his meeting, he tweeted out the following messages.

If I was Hillbot, I’d be in self-destruct mode now (extra Inspector Gadget). I mean, the man isn’t even President yet and he’s making deals like this. Although I’m a Trump fan and would love, more than anything else, for this deal to be real. But it has the feel of craziness, the sort of shit one reads out of the Onion website, then passes it on to an unsuspecting family member in an attempt to trick them.

Should Softbank invest all of that money here and create jobs, I will print out this article and eat it. Paint me skeptical, but I don’t think Softbank is in the business of making America great again — nor hiring workers in the very expensive US of A.

    From thehill.com, “The paperwork from Trump’s meeting with SoftBank also featured the logo of Foxconn”.
    Trump took the Taiwan call to let companies like Foxconn know they have a friend in DC.
    Put it to work in WI, MI, PA.

      After reading the recount rules. (I’m a township clerk) it will be a minor miracle if Trump holds on to Michigan.
      The recount trolls know exactly which precincts went heavily for Trump and they will be targeted mercilessly by looking for any T not crossed or I dotted.
      All the challengers have to do in order to put not just a single ballot, but the entire precinct “on hold” is basically wave their little card and say they don’t like the look of something…absolutely anything at all.
      Our only hope is that the ballots from down in the SE corner of the state (drain it all please) are messed up somehow as the Hillary people will be looking to toss everything from the rural areas with much vigor. Most of the outlying/Northern part of the state went 80% Trump to 20% Hillary. We will be under the gun up here.

    I thought it was “fake news” also but appears to be legit. I imagine the media will be in an uproar with this. Cannot wait to hear the critics. Trump spends too much time creating jobs and not enough time on cabinet picks.

    It is legit when it happens. If FOXCONN suicide factories come to the US, we are doomed.

    There is a chance they just print a bunch of money then throw it around with a narrative. The Maze.
