Razzle-dazzle ... jazz hands ... "Ta-da!"

Donald Trump saved fewer Carrier jobs in Indiana than he originally claimed, and now it's clear that the company will use the money it promised to invest in the plant to trim even more jobs in the future. Aaron Rupar writes:

As part of the deal President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence struck with Carrier, the company has promised to make a $16 million investment in its Indianapolis facility — an investment management plans to use on developing technology that will allow them to replace human workers with robots. The company’s plans were confirmed by Greg Hayes, CEO of United Technologies, Carrier’s corporate parent, during a CNBC interview earlier this week. “We’re going to… automate to drive the cost down so that we can continue to be competitive,” Hayes said. “Is it as cheap as moving to Mexico with lower cost labor? No. But we will make that plant competitive just because we’ll make the capital investments there. But what that ultimately means is there will be fewer jobs.”

This deal stinks. First, Trump misled many of the workers who were actually losing their jobs into believing their jobs had been saved. Now we find out that Carrier's investment will lead to more layoffs. This is what Trump got good headlines for?

Anyone else feeling sick to their stomach?
