Trump piles up manufacturing wins<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump piles up manufacturing wins:- <\/span><\/strong>Donald Trump took his pre-inauguration manufacturing job bonanza into this former manufacturing hub on Friday and stood proudly by as the CEO of Dow Chemical announced a new, state-of-the-art innovation center in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s at least the third announcement about creating or saving jobs that Trump has presided over since defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton. Last month, Trump during a trip to Indiana announced that he had reached a deal with Carrier to save 1,100 jobs at an Indianapolis manufacturing plant, and he took to Twitter to take credit for keeping a Ford plant in Kentucky.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the cases of Carrier and Ford, it wasn\u2019t clear precisely how much credit Trump deserves for the announcements \u2014 or how many jobs will be saved or created. But the president-elect has used the announcements to create the impression that he is single-handedly turning around American manufacturing even before taking office.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be that the cars were made in Flint and you couldn\u2019t drink the water in Mexico. Now the cars are made in Mexico and you can\u2019t drink the water in Flint. We\u2019re going to change that,\u201d Trump told a crowd of thousands gathered at a minor league sports arena here on Friday evening for a campaign-style rally billed as part of a \u201cThank You\u201d tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

The president-elect recounted his election night victory in state-by-state detail, and boasted that he beat Clinton despite her outspending him $2.2 billion to $300 million, though the actual tallies are closer to $1.2 billion to $600 million, according to a POLITICO analysis of finance filings by the campaigns and their supportive super PACs and party committees.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Trump praised his nominee for education secretary, Betsy DeVos, and his likely choice to head the Republican National Committee, Ronna Romney McDaniel \u2014 both of whom hail from Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump clearly relished the adoration of the crowd, though a handful of protestors were removed by Trump\u2019s private security. Trump mostly shrugged off the interruptions, but when one of the final protestors caused a commotion, he barked at his security \u201cget \u2018em out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But Trump returned again and again to his effort to save manufacturing jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Citing a 40-percent decline in automobile jobs in Michigan since the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Trump said: \u201cIf I wasn\u2019t elected\u2026 it would have gotten much worse. Plenty of deals are going on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And, as if to drive home the point, Trump introduced a surprise speaker: Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris, as \u201csomeone committed to returning jobs to the United States of America.\u201d While Liveris is an Aussie who months earlier suggested Trump might usher in \u201cthe Kardashian presidency,\u201d Trump on Friday announced Liveris would be leading the American Manufacturing Council, a part of the U.S. Commerce Department that acts as liaison between the manufacturing sector and the federal government.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be tasked with finding ways to bring industry back to America,\u201d Trump said.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when Liveris took the stage, he returned the favor, directly crediting Trump with his company\u2019s decision to announce at the rally that it would be building an \u201cinnovation center\u201d in Midland, Michigan that would employ approximately 200 people in research and development jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe could have waited. We could have put it anywhere in the world,\u201d Liveris said. \u201cThis decision is because of this man and these policies,\u201d he said, telling Trump \u201cI tingle with pride listening to you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked after the rally how Trump and his policy proposals spurred the decision, Dow spokesman Jarrod Erpelding told POLITICO that \u201ca number of factors have come together to make this announcement possible.\u201d Those include \u201cour confidence in the U.S. economy and manufacturing sector given the President-elect\u2019s strong predisposition to create a manufacturing and innovation-friendly jobs and economic agenda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems a much more complete win than the Carrier deal, where the number of jobs saved appears to be far fewer than Trump advertised, or the deal with Ford, which reportedly was never planning to move the plant in question to Mexico, as Trump claimed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, with more than a month until he takes office, Trump has demonstrated a willingness to use public plaudits and attacks on specific companies, their executives and union leaders in a manner that seems without precedent in modern American history.<\/span><\/p>\n

The approach, often powered by Trump\u2019s Twitter feed, has sparked widespread concern among corporate America, which is accustomed to far more gentle treatment from U.S. presidents, especially Republicans.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Trump, with his promises to renegotiate trade deals favored by Republicans and his willingness to call out specific companies, has rewritten the playbook.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday night, he returned to the subject of another American corporate giant with which he had picked a fight this week: Boeing. He had called out the company over what he described as the bloated cost of its contracts to build Air Force 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to buy an aeroplane for $4 billion,\u201d he said. \u201cEven if I don\u2019t get to use it. Who the hell cares? I\u2019m not paying $4 billion for an aeroplane.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
