Now it isn’t just a threat as we’re accustomed to hearing. Trump tells the business leaders that taxes will be cut massively for both the middle class and business and he also believes they can cut around 75% of the regulatory burden that will expedite businesses opening their factories and plants here:

All of that sounds really great. But of course, Trump also threatens them with his border tax punishment if they fire all their people and move abroad:
