The kicker is that the tax breaks Carrier is getting as part of the deal is going towards investing in automation.

These jobs wouldn't have been able to escape had they let Trump build his wall. Sad!

Didn't we know from Trump's original "deal" that several hundred would be laid off regardless? But Trump's "deal" kept from closing the entire facility, right?

You mean Trump lied and was never going to do shit about making Carrier keep those jobs in America?

Probably Trump because they were dumb enough to fall for it the first time. He'll just blame not being able to keep his promises on the dems.
The extra money they got helped them buy more machines which let them close it faster!
Running on Trump when he has a record (if he makes it to 2020) will be very different than fighting him as an unknown political figure.

The facility is staying open until automation takes over. Basically, they're going to run the clock on the terms of the deal and take the money.
trump voters: it's not his fault!
they give him all the credit and hold nothing against his him when his promises are broken. they will vote for him again in big numbers. we can only hope those pissed stay home and vote for nobody.

For him again after he promises to bring those jobs back.

On the upside, these laid off American workers will get to pay 20% more for their new air conditioner with Trumps tariff's put in place.

Prepare the Twitter machine.

At this rate, they'll be working three low paying jobs to keep their families fed and won't be given time off to vote period.
Considering he publicly attacked the union heads and was all nicey nice with the owners, not really sure why anyone should've ever had that perception.
It's the logical conclusion of how he "saved" the jobs. They got money from the state to offset how much money they would save by outsourcing to Mexico. That money ran out and the government isn't cutting them another check, so the jobs are are gone. Anyone with a brain new this would happen, but, you know, Trump supporters.

Hilariously enough I'm almost certain that when Trump inevitably crashes and burns the fallback Republican excuse is going to be that he was always a Democrat in disguise awyway.

Fucking played.
The frustrating thing about this lady was that she was more thoroughly owned than anyone in history, but didn't budge an inch. In fact I bet she went Double MAGA after this.
She was basically like, "Yes, my premise is 100% false and you proved that I should believe the opposite and I agree with your facts, but I am sticking with my racism."

Looks like this was expected:

Basically Trump saved 800 job from moving to Mexico but another 1400 were not saved. Weird deal. You'd think a deal would go like "Hey you have 2400 people in Indianapolis, if you keep them you will get money".

That gets reposted every time we get another update on this story but it's become clear that the deal has changed (cue Empire Strikes Back reference) in that the funds meant to keep the 800 jobs at the plant are now earmarked for automation instead.
