For example, Harley Davidson announced it was closing it's KC plant in 2016 - before Trump was elected.

According to the Kansas City local news they announced it in Jan of 2018...

Kansas City’s Harley-Davidson plant begins shutdown process

Workers have known this day was coming – Harley announced it planned to shut down the plant back in January.

No. They announced it in the Spring of 2016. My brother worked there.

you are a known pos liar -

Left-wing brainwashed commie. My brother phoned me the day it happened. They had an employee meeting warning everybody that the plant will be closing in approximately 2 years and to prepare for it. He had worked there 19 years. Don't believe everything you read dingus.

We will take your advice as we read your cool story.

I don't give a shit what you do.

Donald Trump’s sideshow trade war with China is a roiling disaster. On Tuesday reports came out that US Steel, the strong-like-ox jingoistic symbol of Trump’s America First policies, was downsizing due to … Trump’s America First policies. And while the trade war tariffs as well as outdated infrastructure are the cause of US Steel’s profit problems, the fact of the matter is that any and every move by Trump and the Republican Party have led to the downsizing of decent American jobs. Whether it has been outrageous tax breaks for the “job creators” or their corporations, deregulated markets, and rolled-back consumer protections, nothing Republicans have done under the current administration has boosted the markets.

Here’s a short list of some of the downsizing, the slowdowns, and the broken promises over the past couple of years of Trump et al:

• Trump and media outlets touted his great deal in saving 1,000 American jobs at Carrier. It turned out that he didn’t save anyone anything. Layoffs and relocation of their facilities to Mexico continued on.
• Those corporate tax breaks came with lies from telecoms like AT&T and Verizon, who claimed that the money saved would be going into workers bonuses and infrastructure build outs. Besides laying more workers off, as soon as any of the numerous “incentives” handed out to telecoms were collected, CEOs readily admitted they had no plans to do anything. And then fired some more workers.
• Companies like Pepsi decided to try and work more quietly, announcing “some” bonuses while laying off workers.
• Huggies and Kleenex used their tax breaks to pay off their shareholders while firing 5,000 employees! Winning!

Here's a nice big list of layoffs since Trump and Republicans came into power

But wait, there's more...

DailyKos left-wing commie sewage. Layoffs are always inevitable no matter who is in the Whitehouse

That's not what Trump promised. He promised he'd bring all the manufacturing jobs back. He promised he would shop the Big 3 Car Companies from moving jobs to Mexico. He promised Mexico would pay for the Wall.

Lies, all of it lies.

Nice to see all of the anti American people out today. During Obama's failure years. I never celebrated people losing their jobs. You people should never have power in our government again.

its not so nice to watch idiots kiss Trumps fat ass because those jobs are being lost on his TRADE WAR watch.

If it was true the CNN would cancel the hurricane coverage and cover that 24/7.

Really? Considering the unemployment numbers, this is clearly an exercise in pointless cherry picking data. The singular area that you really cannot criticize Trump on is unemployment. It is almost the only area you cant.

How can you promote something that is obviously proven wrong... and still push it?

Then you people wonder why we don't trust the media, and hilariously claim we're mindless parrots.

I even remember when the Unions were striking against Harley Davidson, and saying then it would likely destroy the company.

You people....

Here's a NICE BIG REPORT for the number of layoffs that occurred during Obama's first five months in office. The Democrats had control of Congress at the time, as they did the last two years of Bush's tenure. Does the OP really want to play this game?

June 5th, 2009,
The U.S. has lost 2.2 million jobs since President Barack Obama took office. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the total number of jobs nationwide fell from 134.3 million at the end of January to 132.2 million at the end of May.

The unemployment rate now stands at 9.4 percent, up from 7.6 percent at the end of January.

“I think my initial measure of success is creating or saving 4 million jobs,” said President Obama on February 9.

Monthly job losses reported by the BLS are as follows:

Feb: 651,000
Mar: 663,000
Apr: 539,000
May: 345,000
Total: 2,198,000

“President Obama demanded that Congress spend hundreds of billions of dollars to stimulate the economy,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. "On Friday, February 13 Congress approved a disgraceful trillion-dollar spending and debt package under the guise of economic stimulus. Since that date at least 1.5 million jobs have been lost in America.”

“Spend more money. Have fewer jobs,” continued Norquist. “Let's stop this madness.”

Looking asinine doesn't appear to be a major concern for 'em, in fact with most of 'em I've come to the conclusion that they prefer it that way.

How else do you explain the constant, profligate ignorance that flows from their keyboards? something of that magnitude takes a lot of planning and effort.

Unemployment is down so they all got jobs somewhere else

Fart on

unemployment could be @ 15% and Trumpbots would still lick his fat ass -

yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[basquebromance]

in 1945, the leader of the National Association of Manufacturers denounced "the unmitigated warfare that has been waged for a decade against the free market system"

those words influenced Alan Greenspan, Ronald Reagan, and now...DONALD TRUMP!

Good to see you so eager to post the failure of the Daily Kos and their policies.

All those folks you cite as being laid off obviously found other and even better jobs. Thanks for pointing out that so subtly.

U.S. unemployment rate remains at 3.7%; hourly earnings rise
By JOSH BOAK, Associated Press
Published: August 2, 2019, 3:47pm

WASHINGTON — U.S. employers slowed their hiring in July but still added a solid 164,000 jobs to an economy that appears poised to extend its decade-long expansion.

The unemployment rate remained at 3.7 percent for a second straight month, the government said Friday. Average hourly earnings rose 3.2 percent from a year ago, up from a 3 percent year-over-year gain in June.

Though the pace of hiring has slowed this year, one reason is that a growing share of Americans already have jobs. Unemployment is near a half-century low. The overall U.S. economy remains on firm footing, and last month the expansion became the longest on record.

All I know is that you and one other claim it was well known but cannot provide a single thing to back it up.

This is an Internet forum, “because I said so” is not good enough.

Specifically why do you support China's manipulation of currency and theft of our intellectual property?

Obama says China must stop manipulating currency
Doug Palmer

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China’s huge trade surplus with the United States is “directly related to its manipulation of its currency’s value,” Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said in a letter released on Wednesday.

Obama Raises IP Theft with New China Leader
President Highlights the Importance of Addressing CyberthreatsEric Chabrow (GovInfoSecurity) • March 14, 2013

In a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping on March 14, President Obama raised concerns about cybersecurity, but his tone was not confrontational, according to a White House readout of the conversation with the newly installed leader.
Obama Raises IP Theft with New China Leader

For eight years failed former President Barack Hussein Obama knew the problems existed, tip-toed around and DID NOTHING.

Are any of the weak-kneeded Progressives here going to say that a "NON-CONFRONTATIONAL" approach will work with Communist China?

Obama Stance on China Softens from 2008 to 2012
By Fred Lucas | October 1, 2012 | 4:22 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) – Taking a far more measured approach to China trade than in his first presidential race, President Barack Obama said last week, “We don't go out of our way to embarrass” China for allegedly manipulating its currency. In 2008, Obama declared, “When we are talking to China, we should be tougher negotiators.”

IF the headline in the future read: "Trump Stance on China Softens from 2016 to 2020" you'd be screaming he had been paid off. You know like Joe Biden has been paid off.
