It’s easy to extract promises and say you’re going to do something.

It’s had work to actually do it.

No one is lazier, or more dishonest, than Trump.


On May 9, President Joe Biden traveled to Racine, Wisconsin to announce a plan by Microsoft to build a $3.3 billion data center. The White House said that it expects the project to result in 2,300 unionized construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs in the area.

The site selected by Microsoft is the same site where, in 2017, then-President Donald Trump announced a $10 billion investment by Foxconn for a manufacturing facility. By 2021, Foxconn abandoned most of its plans and never delivered on promise to bring 13,000 new jobs.In his remarks at the ceremony, Biden chided Trump for his failure to deliver during his time in office.

“He and his administration promised a $10 billion investment by Foxconn to build a new manufacturing complex and create 13,000 new jobs. In fact, he came here with your senator, Ron Johnson, literally holding a golden shovel, promising to build the ‘eighth wonder of the world,” Biden said. “Look what happened. They dug a hole with those golden shovels, and then they fell into it.”

The failure of the Foxconn facility is part of an overall downward trend in manufacturing that occurred under Trump’s administration.
