T-rump delivers on US companies growing!


While America was devastated with the news of Harley Davidson moving a huge portion of their business overseas and putting thousands of high paid American employees out of work , and the threat of more big companies following suit thanks to T-rump Tarriffs, there appears a glimmer of hope that T-rump is delivering in his promise of companies actually growing in the US and adding jobs!

Dollar Tree plans to open 650 Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores by years end. Not to be outdone, it’s rival Dollar General is on track to open 900 new stores by the end of this year, and relocating 100 more to bigger locations.

Unlike Harley Davidson, these stores usually pay managers just slightly above minimum wage - about $1 above - as their only full timers. Most of their stores are filled with part timers on the schedule, earning minimum wage and no benefits. These are the hard working Americans on ACA, which Rethuglikkkans want to do away with. How appealing are those jobs, eh? Well, to T-rumps base they are!!

Happy 4th of July! And welcome to T-rumps New America!

More lies and exaggerations. Only a few hundred workers at Harley will be affected out of 5000+ employees. Manufacturing overall has seen impressive growth under Trump after stalling for the last two years of Obama's term (2015 and 2016 saw little to no job gains in manufacturing...pathetic).

I'm not sure what your point is about Dollar Tree. Low skill workers need jobs too, and a recent survey from Glassdoor shows that inflation adjusted wages are rising fastest for workers at the bottom end of the income scale. I thought Democrats were supposed to be champions for the little guy?

You have been owned once again. Thanks for playing.

More than a few hundred will be affected from HD moving jobs out of America all because of T-rump.

T-rump promised big growth of companies who would offer “ high paying jobs” to all the new hires, not minimum wage to new part time hires. Seems like his base has been duped and they’ll settle for what they got: Dollar Tree part time jobs.

I remember when Rethuglikkkans crucified Obama for creating minimum wage jobs. Now they’re thrilled T-rump is doing it. For shame.
