Re: Today in "so much winning"!
Ah ha ha ha ha........The official, who the White House asked to have remain anonymous, dismissed a Fox News report that the Pentagon was “blindsided” by the pullout.
“That surprises me that anyone would say that, because this is something that was discussed among senior leadership here at the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon,” the official said when asked about it on the call. “I don’t know how anyone could have been blindsided.”
Asked who in government Trump consulted about the withdrawal and which officials agreed with the decision, the official declined to provide any specific names.
“I’m not going to get into each and every one of the people that the president discussed these issues with, but he discussed them with his senior advisers in ... defense, diplomatic and ... his staff here at the White House,” the official said.

Meh, republicans are so ardent about compensating for the lack of support for their policies, I've little doubt they'll find a way to "fix" this, and continue to suppress the votes of people they doubt will vote for them:

It doesn't create jobs if they're buying up real estate and renting it to Americans.

The figures on foreign investment in the United States...don't count purchase of real estate by foreign individuals. There are signs that those real estate purchases are also declining.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 7:30 pm It doesn't create jobs if they're buying up real estate and renting it to Americans.

...Research shows that foreign owned companies pay more, spend more on research and development, and produce more exports than comparable US-owned businesses, said Gary Hufbauer, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
"They shine," said Hufbauer. "They're often here because they want to reach the US market."
...A slowdown in economic activities overseas and a strong dollar can also act as headwinds for foreign investment.
...Foreign direct investment includes money that a foreign company spends to build a plant or open an office in the United States, such as the Foxconn facility under construction in Wisconsin, at an estimated cost of up to $10 billion, and a $1.6 billion auto plant being built in Alabama by Toyota and Mazda. And it can also count expansion of existing facilities, such as a $600 million investment in a BMW plant in South Carolina.
It also includes purchases of US businesses by foreign companies, such as when China's Haier bought the appliance business of General Electric (GE) in 2016.
The figures on foreign investment in the United States also don't count purchase of real estate by foreign individuals. There are signs that those real estate purchases are also declining.

(Just because all your spare cash goes into the G-strings of the strippers at that club just outside the Peoria city limits, doesn't mean everyone's does.)
