How Did This Happen?

For those of us lucky to be awake Tuesday night, for the semi-frequent late-night Twitter outburst from President Donald Trump , we received the gift of “covfefe.” Yes, Trump’s attempt to type the word “coverage” went somewhat awry, giving the Twitter wags a good chuckle before winking out for a good night’s sleep. You had the funny feeling that there would be a high-level meeting the next morning to “spin” this misspelling as a masterstroke of political letters ( and that is apparently what happened ), but that would surely be that.

That runs counter to their wishes for measures more likely to save the jobs of less-educated workers, whether in manufacturing...

Boeing Factory In South Carolina Where Trump 'Celebrated' Jobs Braces For Layoffs

President Donald Trump  proclaimed while visiting a Boeing plant in  South Carolina in February that he was there “to celebrate jobs.” “Jobs is one of the primary reasons I’m standing here today as your president and I will never, ever disappoint you” he told the crowd in North Charleston that day. “Believe me, I will not disappoint you.” On Thursday, Boeing confirmed that it would be laying off workers at the very plant where Trump had spoken so reassuringly five months ago. The aerospace company told CNNMoney that about 200 jobs at its facilities in South Carolina would be cut.
