Two weeks ago, President-elect Donald Trump announced he had personally strongarmed the air conditioning and heater company Carrier into keeping more than 1,100 jobs at an Indiana factory, rather than offshoring them.

“Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences,” Trump said during last week’s victory lap at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis. “Not going to happen.”

But the more details about Trump’s negotiations with Carrier become public, the more hollow his victory appears. First, various outlets reported that the number of jobs saved was closer to 800 than 1,100. Then, Carrier revealed that Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence — the current governor of Indiana — had purchased the company’s continued presence in the state with more than $7 million in tax breaks. Some “consequences.”

1. There were some reports that stated those facts from the beginning

and Trump had nothing to do with the deal because he didn't have to power to do anything except to take the credit
and that is why Pence has not given up his governorship todate
