It wasn’t just a campaign slogan — President-elect Donald Trump promise to “Make America Great Again” was the rallying cry for millions of disenfranchised voters.
Still 36 days away from being sworn in, Trump is already delivering — and the numbers are astonishing.
In the weeks since his election, jubilant investors have pushed stock prices to all-time records almost daily, and top minds are predicting the rally continues deep into 2017.
For everyday Americans, there’s good news as well — not only is optimism surging among “Average Joes“, but jobs are being created in the thousands — even among companies headed by some of Trump’s harshest critics.
Silicon Valley leaders were among Donald Trump’s most outspoken opponents during the presidential campaign. On Wednesday, though, many of them will come face-to-face with the president-elect for the first time since the election.
And on the eve of their meeting, IBM announced Tuesday their intentions to hire over 25,000 more Americans during the Trump presidency.
It could be a prickly meeting.
No other industry was more open in its contempt for Trump during the campaign. In an open letter published in July, more than 140 technology executives, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists skewered Trump as a “disaster for innovation.”
Trump, in turn, sometimes lashed out at the industry and its leaders.
He lambasted Amazon CERO Jeff Bezos for the campaign coverage of his newspaper, The Washington Post, and suggested that Amazon could face antitrust scrutiny if he was elected.
Trump also rebuked Apple CEO Tim Cook for fighting a government order requiring Apple to unlock an encrypted iPhone used by a shooter in last year’s terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California.
And Trump’s repeated screeds against immigrants raised fears that he might dismantle programs that have enabled tech companies to hire tens of thousands of foreign workers — instead of Americans — to write computer programs, design web pages and build mobile apps.
Most of the companies with executives attending Wednesday’s meeting declined to comment ahead of the gathering. But Oracle’s Catz said in a statement that she plans to tell Trump “that we are with him and are here to help in any way we can. If he can reform the tax code, reduce regulation, and negotiate better trade deals, the U.S. technology community will be stronger and more competitive than ever.”
Other tech institutions are also signaling an end to the animosity.
The Internet Association, a trade group whose members include Google, Facebook and Amazon, praised Trump in an open letter last month for his use of Twitter and other digital tools to help him get elected. The letter also appealed to Trump’s emphasis on the economy, citing statistics estimating that the internet sector accounted for nearly $1 trillion of the country’s gross domestic product.
Some conservatives say they’re actually worried that Trump might get too friendly with tech. Peter Flaherty, the president of the National Legal and Policy Center, charges that big technology companies exploited their close relationship with President Obama “to feather their nests and push for policies that benefit them at the expense of the American worker.”
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said by email that the president-elect “looks forward to meeting with this important group of industry leaders and true innovators.”
But Trump might not be doing many other favors for technology companies given his history of holding grudges against his opponents, said Larry Irving, a former government affairs executive for Hewlett-Packard who now runs a consulting firm.
“Everything Trump has done so far suggests that he rewards loyalty and punishes disloyalty,” Irving said. “The tech industry better have some pontoons ready.”
Comment “American jobs!” below if you think President-elect Donald Trump is doing a STUNNING job
The Associated Press contributed to this article
The moment I read of him helping the Carrier workers, I knew that Trump was sincere. Probably the first time in decades that an American leader actually cared about working people. I am a Democrat who voted for Trump. At least their is hope now in the U.S..
MS, even his appointees are sincere, yet he is blasted for each appointee and never once do we here of the MSM suggesting better alternatives.
they are blasting him because they are scared of his appointees. They better be. New Sheriff in town.
Amen!
Amen! President Donald Trump, the best!
Proud of you for seeing the light.
This is the best News for me and I hope more Democrats will join in the Movement to make America Great Again.Forget the Clinton,s because under here “REGIME” , America would get lost fore ever. Thanks for not voting for here.
MS, great post. What’s really nice about Pres.Trump is that he’s a patriot & truly loves America. He said he would be the greatest jobs President we have ever had & has not wasted any time fulfilling that role. Since he’s a deal maker, I think we will see peace with other countries that is lacking right now. He appears to have all the components to put America back on track again. The last 8 years have been demoralizing & we really dodged a bullet by electing Trump.
I THINK PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP IS GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN JUST AS HE PROMISED. IT IS WONDERFUL AND HOPEFUL THAT SOMEONE IS STANDING UP AND LISTENING TO THE WORKING CLASS! I APPROVED OF EVERYTHING HE HAS ALREADY DONE AND HE ISN’T EVEN PRESIDENT YET. HE IS NOT A TIME-WASTER!
TRUMP, AWESOME! HOWEVER, MY GRANDSON DSIN WILL BE TURNING 6 THIS SUNDAY, HE’S ASKING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO HIS B.D. PARTY IN INDIANA!! HE LOVES TRUMP, JUST LIKE NANNY!! HE SAYS ,” DONALD TRUMP WILL MAKE US ALL FEEL BETTER, NANNY!! LOL GOTTA LOVE GRANDKIDS!!!!
I agree 100% percent. He will do what said he can do to make it better for all of us!!!
Only if the hard line GOP lets him do what is needed.
American jobs
Congrats and Prayers for President Trumps continued Success in Saving and Restoring America as He is already working at even before “hired “
Donald J. Trump has done more in the last month than Obama has done in eight years….Donald is a True-American and he loves the American people and the American Flag and he will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN….
AMEN
You are right.Trump is a True American what you can not say from this Black Man in the White House.Sorry,but I have Problems typing his Name.
Democrats, progressives, whiny millennials and every other stripe of liberal retards all stink.
The unprecedented, childish, vitriolic backlash against Trump’s win over Harridan McHarpy completely lacks merit and should be dismissed out of hand by any red-blooded American who prides himself on having an open mind.
There’s a new sheriff in town. Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work America!
I am so pleased with Donald Trump. The man is brilliant. He is a breath of fresh air. As far as I am concerned
The main stream media and their lies will never come back from the ASS KICKING they gave themselves. Hollywood
your done too. The Illuminati lost this round and one world government Socialism hopefully is dead too. Fight the secret
societies and never give them a foothold again. Yes I’m talking to crooked, evil College professors who have staked out
our innocent youth to bring our country down. It’s called Fabian Socialism a most invasive and evil form of deceit. As
they say the DEVIL is in the details
GO PRESIDENT TRUMP……………………….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS OUR BELOVED AMERICA……………………
AMERICA AND ‘AMERICANS’ ARE ON THE MOVE TO ‘ MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ‘……….
LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY……………….
THERE’S WORK TO BE DONE………………
……………………………………………LET’S ROLL………………………………………………..
We finally have a leader going to be our president that knows how to get things done and lead from the top and out in front.
TRUMP MAKES MONKEY OBAMA LOOK STUPID
“KEEP JOBS IN AMERICA????, HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT DOING THAT????” INCOMPETENT OBAMA SAYS
American Jobs people, all this time we thought Obama was working for us, turns out he was working for foreign jobs! Obama is a filthy TRAITOR!
Leave office early! Do the country this 1 favor before your term is over!
Since when has Obama thought about anyone else but himself? I’m more nervous now as his administration is coming to an end. What executives orders and bills will he rush through to create more destruction. I don’t think I can remember a President so set on destroying our freedoms and was more worried about his legacy then that half wit narcissist. Don’t worry Obama your “care and health” law will be over turned. Get over yourself. It just too bad you, your family, members of Congress and the Senate weren’t saddled with the same healthcare system you championed to us but exempted you, your friends and donors were all given waivers. Let me guess because it’s all crap? If you pass a law, and you championed it, then you need to live under the same rules and laws you saddled the rest of us with…. hypocrites.
Now if the whiners, sore losers, and so forth would just get a grip, we could continue to move forward toward better times. Rioting in the streets, mass protests against the election results, safe places and teddy bears for the college students is ridiculous anti-social behavior. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all just tolerate, if not love, each other and take care of everyday concerns such as working to earn a living, homemaking, volunteering, practicing good citizenship.
We must have the environment for that to happen. the Liberals had their chance and set America back. Trump can fix what happened in a few short years. Soon Obama will just be a Bad Dream
Well, I won’t hold my breathe that sanity will return to the liberals, they’ve been gone for decades. Because they follow Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Creating chaos is one of the rules. Mock and ridicule is number 5 I think. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.) Thus, the chaos, rioting, damaging people’s property, inciting violence and threats to kill Trump before, during and after the inauguration. [This is what both Hillary and Obama use a lot when campaigning. Because they mock others ideas but rarely give their own.]
Rule 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) This is what we are seeing now. I recommend that people read at least their rules to know what’s coming, it won’t be pretty but at least you know what to expect from them over the next 8 years. You don’t need to read the book just looked at the rules. Saul Alinsky is a personal hero of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The media, our teachers and educators all use this all teach/indoctrinate the next generations and why charter, religious and private schools are so important in this country and why liberals, teacher’s unions and our liberal politicians are so against them. Ever wonder why? I always questioned my professors when their liberalism appeared and enjoyed highlighting their own hypocrisy. I turned their rules right back on them. Expose them.
Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left, liberals from the President on down are playing by his rules in the political arena. Not all liberals have read his book obviously, I have doubts the crybaby millennials can even read or know his name, but his tactics have become universal. Sadly, for conservatives, when two evenly matched forces go head-to-head outside of a fairy tale, the side that tries to play nice usually ends up with its head in a box and liberals never play nice. But if we know what’s coming we can prevail. Remember, learn from what he wrote and give the Left a taste of its own medicine. Rule 1 Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Just because he’s been elected does not mean that we should stop praying for him. With so much opposition against him
and his cabinet by the liberals, he and his cabinet need prayer, more than ever. They have a battle ahead of them to repair the damage done to America during the past 8 years. We’ve been blessed with the election of Trump.
You are the first I’ve seen that realized that 8 years of work is waiting for DT and his team. One group thinks he can wave his magic wand and clean the mess up overnight, the other group is trying to run him down before he catches their tails in the door. But, you are correct. We do need to pray for him and his team. They will need strength and the garbage off of their backs in order to accomplish what needs doing. Trump is already proving himself but it’s because he wants to not because he needs to. His heart is in this country of ours and he is fighting for its life while the libs and fools do everything wrong to drag him and family through the mud for no reason other than they are a bunch of crybaby scardy cats and afraid of what will be found out.
China will be happy to do Trumps laundry before he’s finished wheeling and dealing
Amen! Magpie you’re exactly right. He’s making a lot of people look bad and more than likely creating a lot of enemies. We need to pray for his safety . I hope he can show these young brainwashe liberals what a real President can do for his country.
Donald Trump is doing a great job! All of those who are apposing him and his choices for his cabinet need to back off and let him do the job that the people elected him to do!
Trump is simply amazing! He started from the day he was elected and has not stopped. He got right to work on his cabinet
and has pursued as fast as possible, while being very thorough and inviting Democrats and various others to Trump Tower
to talk. He absolutely knows how to manage. In spite of the fact, the Dems have done nothing but suck their thumbs and whine
like 5 yr. olds about nothing, trying to throw a monkey wrench into anything and everything as if that would improve their situation.
Let’s hope the few Republicans making a noise about the Secretary of State choice don’t shoot things in the foot again. Their votes will be needed as the margin is not that great. They need to make wise decisions AFTER the hearings, not before.
Trump may be sincere; but, he is going to sincerely break America. Since when cutting taxes (decreasing revenues) and increasing spending makes economic sense? It is certainly going to increase national debt. Conservatives have been fighting against any type of job programs over the last eight years. Now they can wholeheartedly support this fiscal mess? The magic of the Donald…it is not magic and we will pay a price for this craziness….
Department of Education – Privatize Public Schools
Department of Labor – No Minimum Wage
Secretary of the Treasury – Deregulate Banks even further (get ready for the bust!!)
He has been expanding the swamp and the crony capitalism and oligarchy will reach new heights. To be more precise, the Average Joe is going to understand what it was like to live in the depression era, with no help from the government….cutting or privatizing social security, medicare etc. This is going to Make America Great Again!
Pedro sounds like you’re on a lot of entitlement programs are getting ready to be ripped out from underneath you you better jump across the wall before it’s built
To Pedro Zorza and all of the other naysayers: There has been so much fraud, waste and abuse in the over bloated Federal government agencies that it’s truly mind blowing. The Inspector Generals, who are responsible to oversee their spending, has fully documented the waste. The problem is that the Democrat held Senate refused to do anything about it. BILLIONS of dollars of our tax money was wasted and nothing was done to stop it. Go see the website of Indiana Senator Dan Coats and his Waste of the Week program. Know that there is much more than what he highlighted. Come January’s inauguration of Donald Trump and Mike Pence, things will make a turn for the better. Just the savings from pulling all of that wasted money back into the coffers will be a huge boon. The downsizing/elimination of the government agencies will be another influx of cash that can be used for what we really need. True that it will take some time to transition to being a financially responsible nation, but at least we will be on our way. And with the agenda that our new leader and his team has, things will noticeably improve in short order. They will be MUCH better than we have had for quite some time, for sure. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride! Blessings!!
The dept of education is waste of of money they have not done anything right since they were created, I believe by the demos(big waste of money). Let the states run their school not the feds and their mentality. Off hand I cannot think of anything the labor dept has done to help the country.. The banks are all as crooked as Hillary. Just a the fines for wrongful practices under the illal crook.
Pedro, you must be new to my country. Ever hear of Ronald Reagan? He did just that and was our last Great President. Start reading American History instead of listening to Liberal Spin
I do believe he is sincere and will stand up for the average people. anyone collecting a check from the govt. should need to work for the govt. if your able bodied and are receiving food stamps, welfare any government assistance programs there is work for you for the state, cities, and town. I believe many millions of dollars can be saved with a property run program. The people he picked for his cabinets may be rich but they know how to get the job done. go President Trump.
Pedro, it sounds like you need to go back across the border before the wall is built and traps you in our country.
Trump will make America Great again.
(?)
Now we have someone willing to take the bull by the horns and work for We the People as opposed to featuring their own beds and those of their friends. GO President Elect TRUMP – we’re with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m with him too !
How can Carrier employees not be ****** off at Carrier for trying to kill their livelihood just to to make money for themselves? I wish they could still be punished while saving their employees. God speed T!
Thank God the American people can see throught th BS of the bmajor news media.The Americna people didn’t seem to listen the The Crokked Clinton. I lve in Canada and very happy that they chose Trump.But it seems that the Meida continues to lie about Trump!!
We in Canada have a complete idiot running the country. Complete gravey train for the Socialist .They have already run up a huge debt.Seems like the idiot is tring to out do his Socialist father.
Lawrence
Lawrence Jensen – how could he be anything than an idiot as an associate of O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clown and his pal Mexico’s Presidential Joke Pena Nieto.
You’ve got to be kidding – print or take it off the web site no modification will be forthcoming.
We are still seeing discontent by the Democrats. When will they quit their bickering about losing the election and rally behind our President elect? Give the man a chance. He is already working hard to make America great again! If Hillary Clinton was half the person that the Democrats think that she is, then she would have made a public announcement telling all Americans to rally around Trump and for partyism to stop! Stronger together must have meant only if she won the election! I am a registered Democrat, but did not vote for crooked Hillary. I believe in keeping America America and not open boarders, which would make us another third world country! Everyone should be supporting the President elect instead of trying to influence public opinion against him. The media has been so biased against him that people no longer take their views seriously.
Arrest and indict that tratorous Kenyan in OUR White House. Put him in prison, then hire a bunch of Americans to watch him.
American Jobs! Chuck You, Barry!
I’ve been saying it all along & I’ll say it again: Go Trump GO!!!!
The age of Political Correctness is finally over
I don’t know if Trump is the real deal or not, but I do believe he should be afforded the opportunity especially after the last eight years of this know nothing, do nothing, vacation taking, golf playing Chump in chief that we have now. To hear the liberals you would think it were the end of the world, so now the liberals are doing their best to keep Trump out of office and if not they will do their best to end our nation.
Liberals will never stop whining and complaining yet they had eight years to fix things and only made things worse. Seems if they had any brains they would be more open to other ideas.
As a Swede, I have worked and lived in the US, both in New York and Honolulu. I love the US, now living here in Sweden I am trying to give swedes good information about both Obama, Hillay Clinton and about Donald Trump. Unfotenately the US mainstream media, that are read here in Sweden both by us normal people and our mainstream media papers etc.. these papers are even making the US information even more crooked… because of this most swedes love Obama and wants this crooked Hillay to be president. Now I try to show the Swedish public what this is all about. Trump has already, having more than a month before he will be tha US President made the US to feel a fantastic optimism. This Obummer, the worst president ever in US history has to go down with the tail between his legs… Sure this optimism will in some time even come over to us here in Europe and Sweden. I have tried to buy Trump hat but have not succseded. Dont know how I could buy it from here in Sweden… Would love to buy a dozen of these…
With love from Sweden
