To much fanfare, Trump announced today that SoftBank was going to invest $50 billion in the US because they had confidence in Trump. Except the two of them made the same announcement after Trump won in 2016. And it never happened.

When investors realise that our elected politicians are violating the law and are funneling taxpayer money into their pockets they will pull out of the US economy just like they did in Russia.

This is Trump’s reality show. All he has to do is announce something and the media reports it and no one follows up and the people believe that it’s real

He gets so much coverage that he does not deserve. He is a master at manipulating people. And after all these years, seems nobody has learned how to cut the strings and they remain his puppets.

It’s why MSM wanted him to win. It’s great for their ratings and for their billionaire owners to save on taxes.

Another sham like Trump's fake Foxconn deal in Wisconsin. Republicans were going to pay Foxconn 4billion for jobs that would never pay back the original investment to the state. All so Trump and a shytty Republican governor could dishonestly pretend like they accomplished something while in office!
