The full story behind the Carrier deal shows Donald Trump exaggerated excessively

In the recent past, Donald Trump claimed victory when he announced that by himself, he convinced a large A.C and heater company called Carrier to remain in the U.S instead of moving overseas. While bragging about this tremendous victory, Trump claims he saved 1,100 jobs from being moved overseas before even going into office.

Once the Carrier deal was made public it was immediately obvious Donald Trump exaggerated during his victory speech more than he should have. In reality, according to multiple reliable outlets the deal only saved slightly over 800 jobs rather than 1,100. In addition, Carrier showed that during the negotiation Donald Trump and Mike Pence decided to purchase the company’s continued presence in Indiana totaling upwards of $7 million in tax breaks.

During Donald Trump’s speech regarding the deal he made it very clear how many jobs he would be saving, turns out he was incorrect by multiple hundreds of jobs, Trump even claimed it was over 1,100.

“We’re keeping a little over 1,100 jobs it turns out,” Trump said.

As he continued he claimed that if a company attempted to move offshore they wouldn’t be able to do so without consequences. Trump became involved in the Carrier deal because they were attempting to move overseas, then he purchases the company’s continued presence totally almost $7 million dollars in tax breaks, interesting consequences.

“Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences,” Trump said during his self-congratulatory “Not going to happen.”

On top of everything else, during the entire deal Donald Trump choose to ignore the institution that represents Carrier, United Steelworkers Local 1999.

After Donald Trump exaggerated victory speech, the union said they were cut out of negotiation completely and was unaware of the outcome until the speech was over.
