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

It was a catfish of Scott Walker and Trump!!!
The village idiots were leading the village.
Biden got foreigners to start build actual chip foundries in America, with government subsidies of course, but there will be actual jobs and chips being produced domestically.
We Wisconsin taxpayers built an immense amount of money on infrastructure, plowing up many acres of prime cabbage producing farmland, and there all that pavement sits. Village idiots indeed.
To add a bit more context to Foxconn, their founder/CEO Terry Gou is considered Taiwan’s version of Trump. Just like Trump, he tried to run for presidency in Taiwan (thankfully he failed) and was ready to sell out his country to Xi Jinping for personal profit and power.
Democrats stopped it.
Jeebus fking Christ 😳
Trump destroys everything he touches.
I dont want to say distrust all foreigners, but verify.
That whole town will still probably vote for trump anyway. Reality makes no difference anymore.
The sad fact is even both parties claim supporting manufacturing in US, they will slow down if not cancel each other's programs once in power.
An argument can be made that being able to manufacture electronic devices amongst a group of NATO allies along with Japan, S. Korea as insurance against an invasion of Taiwan, is valid military strategy. This capability is a necessary expense along the lines of building warships. BUT, this requires planning with military and aerospace needs in mind. As far as I know, Foxconn manufactures many devices that are needed in those industries. Once the photo op's and the praise on Fox news was earned, was it time for the Trump administration to forget the whole thing? It certainly begs that question. Wisconsin is not in charge of national defense. So, this failure goes to the administration in charge at the time. Not Wisconsin, and not the supposed village "idiots". It is simply too expensive to manufacture these devices in the USA without special incentives that, in the end, serve the public interest.
Don't worry, one of Joe Biden's greatest achievements apart from overseeing the recovery from the 2009 bank liquidity crisis followed by the recovery of faith and hope after the 2010 political crisis and then the slow rebuild of the economic wellbeing of the nation since 2021 was, the Chips Act…
Pay attention, the Chips Act, it's like the Patriot Act but, with Chips…
Foxconn is no better than ABIT. Give 'em 4 years in the U.S. and you'll see.
I guess this is the Republican's version of Solyndra. But it doesn't get nearly the same amount of press and regurgitation.
Was the biggest CON TRUMP Took total credit for, and the Republican Governor and state Republicans followed him blindly. Every voter in Wisconsin should remember this when they vote. We don't need to get TRUMP CONNED AGAIN,
The Republican National Convention did NOT pump up the local economy,either!! Imagine that!!
I'm from Wisconsin, Gov. Walker and the republicans bought all the Trump and Foxconn's hype and went for it all villages were forced (the only thing missing was the gun) to sign the contracts and documents, officials asking questions received death threats. To make it all work the State of Wisconsin guaranteed the whole thing. My greatest fear is one of the communities will default and everything goes up in flames
Trump was even telling unemployed upstate NYers to leave their homes behind and head to the Milwaukee area because of all the jobs this would bring.
Anything trump promise is nothing but a lie! Nothing New!
Dear Wisconsin Officials: Perhaps you should have noticed that half the company's name was "con."
Weird, another thing backed by ReTRUMPLICAN'Ts that was a lie?
reminds me of Simpsons Monorail episode.
Yep a billion dollars of taxpayer dollars wasted on a project that never happened and certainly had not provided any factory jobs.
Build TVs in America? I can buy a 60inch from WalMart for $400. How in tf is America going to compete, that makes no sense.
Its ironic the company is named Foxconn. Smart like a fox, conning the American people.
I wonder if thats why Wisconsin wasn't able to "find" DJT 30K votes, like he asked them to in 2020…
Drumpfilthinskin's f*cked up another business. Big surprise!
Another Trump con.
So, bringing Foxconn to Wis-Conn
-sin.. was just another Don-The-Con
Con!
Foxconn: 10 000 000 000 for 13 000 jobs, that is 770 000 dollars per job.
Microsoft: 3 300 000 000 for 2 000 jobs, that is 1 650 000 dollars per job.
At what point should the light bulb go off that this might not be economically viable? Sounds an awful lot like fishing for tax breaks.
even if 13,000 jobs were on the line, you have to go in phases. no need to purchase all the land at once and bulldoze people's homes by declaring eminent domain. definitely the taiwanese company took advantage of this situation, but i think the original claim of 13,000 jobs… so many factories… well that level of exaggeration comes from trump only. even teslas new gigafactory in texas which at one point recently employed over 20,000 ppl only promised 5,000 at the beginning.
What did you expect? CON is in their company name. Don’t even get me started on anything with “FOX”!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
CON is right
Trump deal – I don't care how you do it, as long as we show em something.
Anything tRUMP touches turns to shiza for the conned, vote those village idiots out. and check there bank accounts.
Tired yet of winning so much Wisconsin
The daily show definitely Chinese ccp backed company .
Follow where the money went 😮
Bog lossssss unnecessary big loss for politicians
"Creating Jobs" The biggest and most common scam in human history.
