Hey remember that time Trump touted Foxconn’s Wisconsin investment that never happened? Seems like we don’t talk about that enough, especially on days like today. Take those “trillions in investments” he’s claiming with boulders of salt. www.theverge.com/23030465/fox... - ThreadSky

he lied just like he always does. its was all an photo op . nothing was never going to happen in Wisconsin.

I sure do. I voted to impeach him long before that " boondoggle" as he was so found of saying.

laura-eastman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Definitely a low point for us Wisconsinties dealing with that Walker's admin's failures

He’s so stupid

This is exactly what will happen this time around as well. Corporations will promise to build here, will “donate” some money to some Trump thing, and won’t ever break ground, all in exchange for an exception to the tariffs for their products. It’s basically a mafia shakedown only benefitting Trump.

Trump's whole life has been a boondoggle.

I was thinking the exact same thing! The same scams… over and over again. They just get bigger and worse!

They bulldozed farms and homes for nothing. Boondoggle.

Property taxes doubled.

gsdmix.bsky.social•3 days ago

It was so sad seeing those homes emptied of families, all for nothing

Trump depends on people having short memories

Specifically this is the reason no one should have any reason to believe this Tariff War is really about bringing more manufacturing and jobs to the US.

Sane people would build the factories to build US made goods *first*... These guys have had chances to and always botch it.

I also remember when Biden announced Microsoft was taking over the Foxconn debacle property for a $3.3 billion investment in an AI data center. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-announce-33-billion-ai-investment-microsoft-scaled-back-foxconn-rcna151209

On one of our projects a foreign investor just put their $1.5 billion investment on hold until things become “more predictable.”

Instead of bringing in trillions of $ investment Trump destroyed $9 trillion dollars of investments in the stock market.

Donald wanted licensing fees to allow factory.
Cancelled when no agreement reached.
Donald did not get his % of pie so he stalled approval.
Unless he gets his way no deal.

Turns out it wouldn't have worked, because the people of Wisconsin who would work there wanted a paycheck.
