Trump better appoint her to something or he'll know soon enough that this is no Hillary he is dealing with. The two are playing on the same field and if he'd allow her to turn it into Trump vs. Palin I'd have my money on Palin

Wasn't the deal done on the state level.

Implicitly if not explicitly, the deal was done under the threat to government defense contracts held by Carrier's parent company, United Technologies.
Please try to keep up.

That's Obama not Trump.  The now-confirmed big-mouth comment about Trump and the Deal confirms what most already knew.  Yes Trump has a 'magic wand'. Makes him look so small as he desperately tries to 'save' his legacy.  Might want to just shut his mouth for the next 8 weeks. And of course the propaganda media tries to make the Deal a negative....lol.

...yeah, call it cronyism. I'd call it something else, but since the fool has no clue what to do, he gets the benefit of the doubt.

And that's almost impossible.

That's not the point. What media say or doesn't say who cares. The point is Palin. I think that Palin is one of the few people that has the power to divide Trump's base. So Palin is the last person that Trump would want to piss off (or "on" for that matter).
