Fuck American jobs even though they were making huge profits.

It's never enough. Hope the deplorables who lost their jobs blame it on the repugs. They can't blame Hillary or Obama now after two years of trump.

And where is their hero riding to the rescue to save their jobs like he did the Carrier Jobs?
