Meanwhile, Trump is getting a tour of the new, heavily taxpayer-subsidized Foxconn facility in Wisconsin
A real quote from Trump: "We're passing so much legislation. Look what is happening with our Supreme Court."
(I'm not sure he realizes that nominating a SCOTUS justice does not constitute "legislation")
Trump, while bragging about himself, gets the facts wrong and claims that the only state Reagan didn't win in 1984 was Wisconsin.
That's false -- Reagan lost Minnesota.
Trump on his tariffs and trade war more broadly: "Frankly, the smart people love it. Some people don't understand it."
Fox News then cuts away lol
Trump's audience at Foxconn sits in bewildered silence as he rants about trade and Hillary Clinton. (He's supposed to be commemorating the opening of a new plant!)
LOL! Trump falsely claims that "we did repeal and replace Obamacare," but then adds: "Unfortunately, one senator decided to put the thumb down late in the morning, and that was not a good thing when he put that thumb down. But we've made up for it." #wut
Trump's usual applause lines are met with stunned silence and laughter as he gives a campaign speech at the Foxconn plant that's totally inappropriate for the occasion
Trump quips that his 2020 campaign hats might be green -- "representing cash."
Trump begs Harley-Davidson to change its mind about moving production to Europe.
"Harley-Davidson, please -- build those beautiful motorcycles in the USA, please, okay? Don't get cute with us. Don't get cute. They don't realize the taxes are coming way down. They don't realize."
Trump, citing @stevenmnuchin1's projections, claims that if he's elected for a 2nd term, GDP growth will be above 5 percent annually. #dohkay
Trump concludes one of the more awkward speeches he's delivered by describing the Foxconn plant as "the eighth wonder of the world"
President Deals literally begs Harley-Davidson to reconsider move to Europe thinkprogress.org/trump-begs-har…
'Please, okay?' During bizarre Wisconsin speech, Trump begs Harley-Davidson to stay in the USA thinkprogress.org/trump-begs-har…
