We are stupid.

It’s why I said the day it was announced that it was purely about optics. The media didn’t lead with “This deal is rancid shit on a shingle,” but instead “Trump just saved thousands of jobs with a single deal! And he’s not even president yet!” It’s what got him elected, bullshitting millions of our fellow Americans into buying the initial story and then scaring the media into mumbling the details later. By the time Carrier gets around to firing that remaining 800 jobs, the country will have moved on and nobody will give a shit that Trump didn’t save anything but his stock portfolio.
