Right Wing Group Tries To Credit Trump For Biden

Six years ago, Donald Trump, Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, Paul Ryan and others gathered in Racine County to make a lot of noise about Foxconn promising to build a giant plant there that would create tens of thousands of jobs. But like all of Trump's promises, this promise was as empty as his head and his wallet. Foxconn never built that big plant and never created those jobs.

Fast forward to last week, when President Dark Brandon showed up on the same spot and made an announcement that, if you will pardon the expression, was a big fucking deal. He announced that Microsoft was going to invest $3 billion of its own money to build a huge AI data center where Foxconn was supposed to be. Microsoft president Brad Smith credited and thanked Biden, saying that it was only happening because of Biden's infrastructure law, the CHIPS and Science Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

It was such a big deal that former Republican Wisconsin lawmakers and even Fox News admitted that this was a big win for the people of Wisconsin and for Biden.

However, a few petulant Republicans tried to say Biden had nothing to do with it. That line of bull reached a crescendo on Tuesday when the Bradley Foundation-subsidized MacIver Institute went so far as to try to give credit to Trump and his Foxconn failure.
