(100,102 posts)In one breath, he says buying American and hiring American will create more jobs. In the next, his own company hired foreign and buys Chinese. In one breath, he brags about all the jobs that were created. In the next, he fires government employees like it's a bodily function. In one breath he brags about the American economy and how well it's doing.

And in short, they don't care, because they have the Magic R next to their name.
