Going to Charleston, South Carolina, in order to spend time with Boeing and talk jobs! Look forward to it.

Well, on April 21, 2017, the Seattle Times revealed that Boeign had actually fired 494 workers after Trump's visit.
From the Seattle Times article:
As Boeing continues to downsize, management on Friday issued 429 new layoff notices to union members in Washington state.
A total of 494 such notices went out, though some went to employees who had already received earlier layoff notices in March, so that the latest notice simply adjusted their layoff date.
So technically Boeign fired over 400 workers in March, a month after Trump talked "jobs" with them. And now the figure is even higher.
So much for the "master negotiator."
