The raid drew criticism as footage showed the workers shackled at their wrists, ankles and waist.
It has now emerged that Trump asked his officials to “encourage” the detained South Korean workers to extend their stay in the country and train American employees, foreign ministry officials in Seoul said at a briefing.
WTF.
I hope they shut that whole thing down or move it to a northern state.
Well, sure, Billy-Joe here will be operating the nanolithography machine in no time. I mean, it’s no different from tuning a V8 engine, right?
The Chinese are going to completely ignore and boycott states even more now. It won’t even bother them either.
It’s uncanny how much they follow the abusive relationship tropes. Like Jekyll and Hyde
This is the managerial talent that bankrupts casinos.
Step 1: Tariffs the entire world. Encourage companies to build factories in the country to avoid said tariffs. Step 2: Raid and arrest people sent to build said factories. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit???
If I was one of those workers, the only way I'd set foot on American soil again is on a pilgrimage to piss on Trump's grave.
Conservatives are so fucking dumb.
The incompetence is off the charts, it's obvious ICE are just racist goons who act first ask questions never.
"Oh you want me to arrest people different than me? Oh hell yes!"
Their lack of intelligence, tact, and humanity are all genuinely breathtaking at times.
"C'mon baby, it was just one little arrest! It didn't mean anything!"
They could be allowed to go back to the U.S. for work later if necessary, the officials said.
Yeah, that's totally reasonable. I'd totally come back to get raided by racist goons a second time. What planet do these fucking idiots come from? I'd pull all investments from America if I was a from a not insane foreign nation.
I must apologize for the Americans. They are idiots. We have purposely trained them wrong, as a joke.
Also, let's not forget that this was all due to a salty, ignorant Trump support running for Georgia office.
So much own goaling here.
South Korean workers, so "exhausted and in shock" that they desperately want to go back to South Korean work culture.
LMAO you've truly outdone yourselves.
Trump probably: "We threatened them over and over, brandished weapons and hid our faces! We treated them like animals. Gave them every opportunity to see how we dominate them, even the ones here legally. Why do they not want to work here!"
The probelm with people like trump is that hes too stupid to know hes stupid and too evil to care about anyone else.
...Isn't that what most of them were doing anyway? They were setting up equipment and training people up?
its interesting that 47 would think that its OK to encorage reshoring of manufacturing via stealing training and IP of foreign firms. They are not stupid.
Abusers do that.
It's about time Hugo Boss starts designing uniforms again I think
imagine all the vehicles made by people in place where the environment is not taken care of with high levels of pollution everywhere that also does not properly fund education and has just made sure that all the properly trained people from some other country that could work/train would not want to work there that could potentially be on United States roads soon
fetal alcohol syndrome is also still a big issue so there is that too
think about the factory close where currently staying that has had multiple fatal accidents this year with one of those involving a forklift having over thousand pounds on it that took a curve too hard and all the load fell on someone with only the head undamaged still talking
where are we heading in the United States? back to no standards like when that chicken plant caught fire in North Carolina
good ol' days had some moments sure but overall they really sucked
you can thank that maga lady for tipping off ice.
Sure. But that’s gonna cost you a lot.
The Koreans should have taken the offer and used the opportunity to teach the Americans.
"But Mr.Min-ji, are you sure this is how to make a car?"
"Yes, yes Mr. Johnson, just put it deeper in there. Car will come out soon."
