Subsidizing unprofitable segments of the US economy through government grants and programs to keep jobs alive?
It's sort of a big part of the platform he ran on.
- leereeves 10y agoWhen did he promise government grants? He made some promises to workers in unprofitable industries, like reducing regulation on coal, but I can't think of or find any promises of new grants or subsidies. And he's eliminating some huge government grant/subsidy programs, like the ACA.

- leereeves 10y agoAccording to your source, the tax breaks were offered by Indiana, not by Trump.
