Noah on Carrier Deal: It’s a Classic Con Man Move

NOAH: "As bad as this deal is, what's make it so good for Donald Trump is that it gives the illusion that he's done something meaningful. That's what Trump is all about, it's the show. Because all the headlines say is 'Trump saves a thousand jobs, which I acknowledge is something for every single person whose job was saved, I don't deny that. But at the scale the president is supposed to work on, that's barely a drop in the bucket. It's all about the thousand jobs. What about everyone's jobs? You've got to create jobs as well. This is basically a classic con man move. A con man makes you focus on what you think you can get and distract you from everything that you stand to lose. That's all it is."
