So Carrier and Trump made a deal that did not include tariffs. Isn't Trump just

letting the cat out of the bag on this? Will it not make other corporations fake a deal to move to mexico in order to get like concessions? I thought Trump was against the enemy knowing what your plans are? That is why there is a system of laws...so nobody can take advantage of the system.

He shouldn't be going individually to each and every company to personally talk them into staying in the US with tax breaks and considerations, he has departments to do that. Trump isn't even in the oval office, yet. He has no idea what he's doing. People have been screaming for months that he's massively unprepared and unqualified for the position, and only now are a few of those Trump voters starting to look at what's happening with a tiny touch of buyers' remorse.
