“We are now at the 6-month point in President Trump's time in office, and I think it is time we check in and do his review. President Trump has made a lot of campaign promises, and we should take a look at how he is living up to them. First, creating jobs. Let's start with his claims that he would be the ``greatest jobs producer that God ever created.'' We haven't seen any major action on President Trump's jobs plan. His infrastructure week included no concrete details--pardon the pun--and his Made in America week meant nothing because his own products have long been made overseas. Despite bragging that he was saving jobs at Carrier in Indiana, we have learned that Carrier is laying off 600 employees this month and sending those jobs to Mexico. After the Trump administration lobbied hard for Ford to not move to Mexico, Ford announced it was moving the production of its Focus model to China instead. Not exactly a deal closer. As for creating jobs, that is an F. Draining the swamp. How about his promises to drain the swamp? President Trump has stacked his administration with insiders, opened the floodgates to more lobbyists, and is loading his administration with so many Goldman Sachs employees that the CEO of Goldman Sachs called it an ``inconvenience.'' Donald Trump hasn't drained the swamp. He has merely built a high-rise luxury condo on it. That will get him an F as well. Accomplishments.…”
