How is this even legal?

Intel got the good PR from Obama earlier but then delayed implementation now, so this is Trump’s success?

*correction, Intel did come out against the ban, my mistake!!
@jeffgee1

wrong (I live in Intel country and noticed their name was conspicuously absent from the list of tech companies fighting the Muslim Ban.)

I do not see that this stunt with T-boy is going to fly well with their employees or the community they are based out of.

Trump: Who is going to do anything about it? I will fire anyone who even brings up the topic. Fake News do not count.

Did any reporter there even ask that most important question right there in that scene? Instead of this…

“Do you plan to bring back jobs?” a reporter asked.

… stupid stuff?

I guess not - I don’t know what reporters were there.

If you’re going to quote another president to support Donnie’s position, then that’s the one because things didn’t end well for Tricky or his goddamn Veep.

It’s legal if Republicans think it is. Its all good from their perspective as they need their agenda passed. Tax Cuts, ObamaCare, Abortion etc far supersede marmalade tantrums/mischiefs.

Did any reporter have the sense to ask if this was the same Fab 42 Intel announced in March 2011? http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/news/2011-03-28-intel-manufacturing.htm
