Did Foxconn’s Trump-Backed Move to Wisconsin Create Jobs or Catfish the Public? | The Daily Show

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Since the last election, Trump has been a big proponent of the Taiwan-based electronic manufacturer Foxconn's opening of a massive factory in Wisconsin, promising thousands of new jobs. But millions of taxpayer dollars and zero manufactured goods later, it seems like the people of Wisconsin have been Fox-conned. Ronny Chieng investigates. #DailyShow #RonnyChieng #Wisconsin

Weird. A giant multinational corporation promising to do amazing things for the benefit of local citizens, taking resources from them, then reneging on those promises? It's almost like you can't trust their word.
What about the promoter in chief
It's almost like it was a scam to win their votes in the upcoming presidential election. And it almost worked.
You would think people would wise up to Trump's scams, but they keep falling for them.
Sounds like a colonizer to be frank.
@@freda2758The saying is fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me... Surely at fool me for the 300th time point the saying is "please remove the ability to make decisions away from me".
Don't worry folks, the republicans who praised this mess will get to whine about democrat spending
Even though Trump added 4.4 trillion to the debt and Biden only 2.8 trillion. Trump only created 184k jobs a month. Biden 276k a month. It's not even close who's better! We haven't even factored in Trump's propensity to commit felonies! Why is this race even close???
Remember when they canceled the federally funded High Speed Rail project because they said it was going to be too expensive and we had to return all of the funds and we were sued for canceling contracts after they were started?
@@RyanBreakermore Scotty Walker stupidity.
Republicans would be nothing if not hypocrites.
Its funny how when the republicans do it. Suddenly this is not a "Chinese Company" anymore lol.
Wait a second. I am a proud life-long Wisconsinite. Am disappointed Scott Walker's name never surfaced. He, and his cronies, deserve some of the shame here!
That's what I thought was missing. I knew there was something missing. The Governor's part in this ! There was a lot of skulduggery going on in Wisconsin politics during trumpf's years on the political scene.
Big time. Walker destroyed so much here during his tenure. Don’t get me started on collective bargaining for teachers.😠
Statefarm moved their HQ to TX during the Walker years
@@LeftyPem Or any State employee ... Act 10.
I remember in 2016 when it was rumoured he would run and even win the nomination. Lol
Shout out to all the peeps from Wisconsin still voting for Trump! YOU guys are what keep America hilariously dystopian
As a Wisconsinite, it is frustrating.
They promised us 13,000 jobs and we got 13.
@@thesparklingdiamond I can relate. I'm from Texas 🤪 but the average Republican Texas voter, like your typical nice neighbor, is progressive in practice but conservative in identity. You should see how mad they get when I point how progressive they are! It's hilarious 😂
Hey, we bungled it in 2016, but at least we scraped out a win for Biden in 2020.
@@TheGenericDavis True that now do it again for Harris Please!
this story needs to be told and retold every day between now and Election day in Wisconsin.
I wish it helped. The outside Milwaukee snd Madison areas love Trump.
Do not forget the former governor Scott Walker and the part he played in this disaster. He should take the same amount or more blame than Trump. Scott Walker was the worst thing to ever happen to Wisconsin.
Don't forget Vos, Sense Brenner and the rest of the gerrymandered who hijacked the state government from 2010-2020
oh, you said it, whispy.
💯👏I worked at WI D.O.R. at the time. I brought up several issues about this credit at meetings...then was retaliated against. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. 🙏 Not that the Republicans in Northern Wisconsin will watch this.🙄 Scott Walker is a trash person. 💯👏
@@mindikruse6938 I remember reading that it would cost $33K to create each job that Foxxcon was going to bring and thought, why don't they just give it to people to spend and it would probably do more for the economy than this thing would. Because from the get go, the proposal just looked bad to me.
@@artboymoy this was brought up in meetings. Lol.
Wisconsin residents knew this was a grift from the get-go. Foxconn was walking back promises at every opportunity. The promises also made no sense. The first woman interviewed summarizes the weird downward progression.
Con is literally in their brand name
It provided the push to get rid of the republican governor though so not all bad.
@@cooperhough7583 And use an animal we consider "sly" in there name.
Unfortunately, outside the cities, that's not the case. The bootlicking in the rural areas is still pretty rampant. Full blinders on too.
@@jaegybomb Unfortunately, it always takes longer to fix mistakes than it takes to cause them. We can only hope that voters' memory is long enough to keep all of Walker's mistakes in mind over the next few elections
My question is why am I seeing and hearing this on the daily show and not CNN and all the other big networks
It's been a slow drip of broken promises for the last 7 years.
CNN ownership is a major source of campaign funding for Trump, as is almost all large corporate media. The well has been poisoned.
I heard about this before. It was covered on my local news channels CBS, NBC, ABC, WGN, and WTTW, Public television.
Because that would require actual journalism and effort.
In a neighboring State.
As a Wisconsinite, i’m glad you guys did this video. Everything about this is true!!!
When I was finishing my doctorate, Foxconn was at my university and trying to recruit people. They were very excited about hiring someone with my background and when I asked what kind of jobs they had neither recruiter could answer. They just wanted me to fill out an application online and interview... for a job that seemingly didn't exist. We knew this was a scam from day one.
I heard they just hired people at the end of the year and fired them when they got the tax refunds. The people did nothing there, got paid to sit in an emlty office for a few months
''Made a promise. Never delivered. Left everyone holding the bag." that's the art of the deal
Art of the _steal_
Taiwan, a fake China but also real
If you delivered, there will be more expectations to feed. Hope is just easy, just talk and shows.
🤣
Typical trump
Show this in EVERY STATE!
I think they went worldwide. Let me hear the other side. Reality is somewhere in the middle as usual. I think Trump is leading in Wisconsin so I would love to hear the other side...
Orange Criminal is a loser
@@gabrieladkinsGS Obtuse or learning disability? Anyone, anyone?
@@gabrieladkinsGS You heard the other side. They built 2 buildings and a sphere.
@@gabrieladkinsGSgood question: were there environmental issues or other supply chain issues setting up this facility? There has to be a reason why they just dropped everything and ran.
A small town taking out a billion dollar loan for a multibillion dollar corporation is wild. Unfortunately this is a common practice in America. Happens all the time with sports stadiums
Exactly. Seems local gov was the one agreeing to this obvious scam.
It speaks to the limited intelligence of local politicians. Their prey for the big boys and girls.
@@internetpointsbankthese local officials probably took those Supreme Court ordained "gifts" from Foxconn in exchange for the free land
@@internetpointsbank Lots of politicians oppose spending taxpayer money on arenas, but the public are easily manipulated by advertisements by billionaire owners of teams that create pressure for politicians to give in or get replaced.
@@guardianoffire8814 1. Welcome to Democracy, people like sports.
2. The argument is that local governments "invest" in sports infrastructure in order to boost tourism and generate tax revenue.
I wish the billionaire team owner in my town paid for everything, but I'm at least gonna analyse the situation with nuance.
There were very loud protests here in Wisconsin when this whole foxconn thing started. We knew in advance what a terrible deal this was and that Foxconn couldn't be trusted. They had already backed out of several deals before they made it here to Wisconsin. But Scott Walker (then governor) pushed hard and got this to happen...
When will municipalities figure out that they're never equal partners in these schemes and that the corporations are lying to them?
One thing that isn't addressed is the 10s of millions of dollars that the State of Wisconsin spent on the road infrastructure, including upgrades to the I94 interstate to handle all the traffic. This move by Scott Walker diverted highway funding from communities in the rest of the state, leaving bridges and roads in disrepair.
Yep, the republican legislature hyped this up and rammed it through. No accountability. I told my local (R) legislator to vote no on this. He sent me a letter about how great it was going to be and he eventually got promoted to majority leader in the party... Devin LeMahieu... and Gov. Walker eventually got placed at YAF as ceo making a million dollars with salary and perks.
More examples of republican "meritocracy" and accountability 🙄
I live in Wisconsin. The roads here are beyond horrible. You'll need a jeep to get anywhere in a few years at the rate the roads are falling apart.
Thought that was part of the whole highway modernization
@@zachlafond2652 except the Jeeps are falling apart too...
The highways look amazing, but man these residential streets are a mess. I work and used to live in Kenosha WI.
Excellent, there's no other way to tell this ridiculous story!
Indeed Ronny and Daily Show -big props. This should be shown to every American and community before any company is "investing" & asking for their investment😅😢
I have driven by the Foxconn site and it's a ghost town. What a shame.
For me, it's the nicest highway route for getting from I-94 to Wis-31 and points east. Four square miles of homes and farms obliterated, very wide highways with no traffic that will now need to be maintained or torn up, water and electric power infrastructure the area ratepayers are saddled with... a disaster.
@@boggy7665 I did watch a clip of Biden announcing a real contract for an American built and owned chip factory to be built on the land, and he did state very clearly this is not a drump scam but a real project. Convenient how the media does not report on things like this, so even residents don't now.
@@boggy7665 With the Microsoft datacenter in process, at least some of the infra will be utilized, and from what I've noticed, where one DC goes in, you will get more from other providers, so the originally number of promised jobs may happen down the line.
So it could now be a foreign black op site or a future supermax…
The Democratic Party needs to get this story out, in a big way. Show people how Trump did NOT bring manufacturing back to the US, and how Biden has.
I'd like to thank Ronnie Chieng for visiting Wisconsin . I was wondering why my state felt funnier the other day , now i know why . Thanks !!
This is the kind of piece that is needed in real journalism. I love the comedic delivery, but the message is real. Anyone claiming the last administration created jobs or did something great for the economy needs to explain this project and either, what they are doing to correct it or what they learned from it.
So they took people's land and got nothing for it. Those people should get their land back.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the irony
Hmmm this sounds strangely familiar🧐
Their homes can not be replaced! Their neighborhood can not be replaced ! Their former lives can not be restored ! Their accumulated wealth has been obliterated ! !
They should get their land, their homes rebuilt and millions in compensation! This was a SCAM from the jump. I'd love to know how much Trump and Scott Walker personally profited from this deal!
@@CCR971 Its was used to campaign on that is why it happened. Building old tech LCD TV when Led TV were most of the market to me was a red flag and I knew something was up as Walker and Trump said how great for WI this was.
The clue was in the name , Fox - Con

Thanks to gold shovel man.
"and I still had to buy my own lousy t-shirt".

Ronny is brilliant. The Daily Show is on fire right now with Desi, Costa and Ronny especially
Thank you, The Daily Show, for doing the news our MSM fails to do.
MSM, Sinclair and Sky news ALL profit from chaos. NONE of them profit from a well informed public. But tell me in a capitalist society, why they should care? Caring doesn't earn as much money as not caring. FACTS are sad.
Apparentely, almost all mainstream medias CEO’s are Trumpers maga campaign donors.... so that's probably collusion at its best. 😡
MSM in WI covered this at the time and throughout the downward spiral.
@@clifford629 I was gonna say this - local news was always running stories on this dumpster fire from start to now.
Actually the MSM reported on this several times over the years...that's part of the reason why the Daily Show did this.
Eminent domain took away people’s homes. That’s a very sad reality.
That is what I thought.
Those were people’s homes and histories. Sad.
Yeah, but how much do you think Foxconn made when it sold Microsoft 315 acres?
@RTPMinx paid for by the public as infrastructure spending. Why build new schools and libraries when you can build stadiums with fish tanks to make the rich richer.
Do I feel a class action suit coming on? I hope so.
Eminent Domain being used to give land to corporations is not what that doctrine was written for.
It was written for roads and civil improvements, later railroads and highways.
I hope this comes up at the Republican Convention in Wisconsin next week.
I don't even know why they would choose Wisconsin, after pulling that stunt. I hope it gets talked about and elevated all week.
@@Tlab0624 Wisconsin is a key swing state, so it makes sense from that perspective.
Trump is up 2.2 on Biden in Wisconsin in the Real Clear Polling average. 🤡
Wouldn't it make a great billboard near the convention centre?
It will as a success I am sure
Insane! Why is this not talked about. 100 houses moved by force, and a village in debt... Donald Trump goes at it again!!
Has anyone checked into what the village officials were paid to make this revolting scam happen? I'm horrified about the "eminent domain" taking of people's land for a complete publicity stunt.
"I'll run the nation like a business"
One of the few not-lies Trump actually spoke. This failure exemplifies how he ran it like his businesses - like Trump Steaks, Trump Airlines, Trump Water, and all the other failed businesses he had.
Trump Casinos are the best examples.
@@edeledeledel5490 Or Trump University.
I hope others join in on this...
@@Eoin-B I think Casinos lost the most - Fred bailed him out with $400 million and they still went down the tubes.
@@edeledeledel5490 Wasn't that mostly investor money and not the organisation?
DJT stock died after Trump Casinos, but they weren't on the hook for the most of it.
It's all ridiculous though. Apparently Tim Waltz owning zero stocks, bonds or rental properties is an bad thing according to recent polls ...
So the guy with no other financial interest in policy is somehow a bad thing.
He ran the country like one of his failed businesses,all right!!
It wasn't just Trump. It was supposed to guarantee Wis. Gov. Scott Walker's (R) reelection.
Yeah, but the only one to blame for not following-through is Foxconn and politicians still in office that didn't monitor the development and hold Foxconn accountable.
Still, everyone involved has some blame to accept - there needed to be teeth to hold Foxconn accountable if they pulled out or under-delivered.

The sticking point was that Trump wanted to rebrand it to Trumptronics.

Shout out to our Governor at the time, Scott Walker! He was also a big part of this "deal".
Hence why he was voted out in the following election! We were not happy with this guy.
And Ron Johnson
Governor Walker was Trump lite. Amazing how much money they wasted on this ridiculous project that had no chance of succeeding even in the best of mathematical scenarios.
and the terrible clawbacks for promises not kept.
I live 15 minutes from the FoxConn site and work just up the road from it…and it’s amazing for the land it covers and the disruption that it caused, how very little actually goes on around there. Trump and Scott Walker got Mt Pleasant to invest in land and improvements that this giant corporation somehow couldn’t take care of themselves and now it just feels like a tax write-off for FoxConn.
Howdy neighbor. Beautiful new roads that have hardly any traffic. Not that I'm complaining about that. However, now they've closed another road for who knows how long while they build the Microsoft facility so I have to takn another detour to work again.
I remember this. Lived in Madison when it happened. Ended up taxpayers of WI fronting this😡
Someone should ask former governor Scott Walker how much he got out of the deal.
Well ultimately he got placed as ceo of YAF, a conservative youth grooming org with a million dollars in salary and perks.
Under subpoena
Ronny killing it
Ronny Cheing has a done a lot of great work and this one had me rolling. Might as well be entertaining while pointing out the fact once again, everything is a lie from trump, everything.
Ronny Chieng is one of the greatest TDS correspondents ever.
We get it... you don't like facts or anything that exposes your king for the dumpster fire that he is, son.
I guess you must be one of TrumpsDelusionalSheep. Foxconn is a real life disaster that delivered none of the promises made.

Indeed, the Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong in him.
@@dannyarcher6370 Where's the 13,000 jobs, Danny?
I live in SE Wisconsin and have never heard of Foxconn or met anyone who works for it. Clearly they picked the correct name for it.
they failed to mention that this is what Foxconn does, they've pulled the same thing over and over and over. How did anybody think this would go differently?
My point exactly!
Maybe they didn't have any choice? DonDon announced this after he was elected, if memory serves. All they knew beforehand was that he'd "somehow" bring back jobs. When he revealed his "wonder of the world," did they have the chance to say, No Thanks?
I have a classmate did some business with Foxconn and interacted with him, that's exactly his experience as well.
Great video. I hope you make more like this one. America needs to know how they have been lied to over and over and over again.
This truth, should be told, as often as trumpf lied, and continues to lie !
What a surprise, must be that "art of the deal" in action right there.
lol
It's really sad what he sold folks, then bailed. Well, that's what happens when you trust in a grifter. Move on from the con...
FOX-CONN. Weirdly coincidental name! 🤣
"I'm a businessman - brilliant businessman. that's what we need to make America great and I'm the one. I will do for America what Foxcon did for Wisconson."
Pretty normal cooperate behavior. Con a town into big development spending or tax breaks. Build less than promised/bare minimum then leave asap or as soon as the contract ends.
Don't let this happen to you! pay attention to your local leaders and yell at them when they go for that cooperate cheese.
In a county just north of Cartersville, GA, the board decimated existing standards to allow smokestacks and massive 24-7 trucking on a two-lane road despite well-organized and vehement opposition from the community. At one meeting we were asked "to call them chimneys because it sounds cozier" by one of the company reps. The commissioners involved, despite family ties there going back for several generations, simply moved on to more expensive pastures with some newly acquired wealth. And that's just what they publicly admitted to.
We knew it was a grift and a con from the beginning.
...the whole of the nation is being grifted by the one percent...
And we are all supposed to laugh and smile about it all.
"Trump grifts the nation."
---There. I fixed it for you: got rid of the passive voice, the pointless ellipses, and focused on what the video is about.
"Ninety-nine percent of all grifting is done by the top one percent of all buisenessmen." --- Bernie Sanders, probably
You nailed this one.
Right amount of hope, political promises, corporate greed, racism, and local incompetence.

I think this is the first piece of satire that I've seen that points out the stupidity of seeing job creation as the be all and end all of politics.
