Donald Trump spoke today at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis, where he patted himself on the back for promising to effectively bail the company out and to punish American companies who attempt to ship jobs overseas.

same thing with the flag burning. He was watching fox news when a segment on fox aired at 6:30am. Instantly tweeted.
