Commentary: Trump’s ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ Job Complex Gutted on Biden’s Watch

Former President 👤Donald Trump touted a plant with Foxconn during his administration, but the project will, unfortunately, create far fewer jobs than originally proposed.

The company which manufactures tech projects planned on opening a complex in Wisconsin that would employ 13,000 people, as the deal with the state was renegotiated cut back from $10 billion to $672 million, NBC News reported.

Now, the estimated new jobs created will be a meager 1,454.

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers suggested that this will take a heavy burden off the shoulders of Wisconsin residents.

“ a total of $2.77 billion compared to the previous contract, maintain accountability measures requiring job creation to receive incentives, and protect hundreds of millions of dollars in local and state infrastructure investments made in support of the project,” he said.

Trump was so optimistic about the project when it was announced in 2017 that he referred to it as “the eighth wonder of the world.”

The deal was seen as an early victory of his presidential agenda, as a core tenant of his populist governing style was based on the economic revival in the rust belt.
