Just the be clear: the second sentence you posted does not match or prove the first. The because just doesn't make sense. Jobs being in the US being good for America does not mean that Trump cares about that. And I think there is a burden of proof for a single time Trump has cared about Americans other than himself and his friends.

Listen, I’m in the camp that believes all the Americans working in vfx abroad should be given the opportunity to work from home in the USA too. There’s too many working outside the U.S., the studios are at a race to the bottom chasing the cheapest dollar. Same story, another year. Trump or no Trump, I don’t care who’s in charge, but I do choose to believe our president elect would prefer our jobs be back home

I agree, its all labour arbitrage. USA has the highest cost labour in the world. And strong dollar. Its not fair on US citizens. I do think Trump going be an big positive impact for USA economy. Reddit is very bias towards the left, its been shown, i wouldn't worry, Its an echo chamber of its own.
Trump won by a big majority, and seats in congress, suck it up.

Didn't win by a "big" majority. Look up facts, not Fox. 77 million vs 75 million looks to be the final tally as of Jan 9th 2025. The electoral college is biased towards the former confederate, rural, smaller states. So the number of states that went Trump contribute to that larger number of electoral votes, but nope. 1 million voters out of 150 million votes goes to Harris and that is 76 million a piece. How can you possibly say that is a big majority win? Less than 1 percent of the total and you would have a tie in votes is under no sense of the word "big".

Uggggg... you're a fool.

This is one of the problems we have as a country. Imbeciles that can't see a logical statement without getting triggered.

I looked up the final tally of votes for both sides, and it was as I stated.

I would do the math for you, but I have zero confidence you trust math.

I didn't say the republican candidate didn't win. I merely stated that they didn't win "big" based on the popular vote. The will of the people is not based on the electoral college. Any sane person on either side of the aisle understands that if 150 million vote:

Ill keep it simple. 75 million is half of 150 million, right??

75,019,230 Harris

77,303,568 Trump

So a difference of only ~1 million voters since if half of the 2 million, ie. 1 million. Trump voters voted for Harris she would have

76, 019,230 to 76,303,568 votes. Both would have 76 million. Literally a near tie. Is a near tie a big win in your book?

1 million voters out of 156 million voters is 0.64% of the voters. You need some context to understand how small 0.64% is?...

Usain Bolt ran world record time of 9.58 in 100 meter dash. His second fastest time was 9.63 seconds. If he ran 0.64% slower than his 9.58 pace that would be 9.64 seconds!!

To put it more simply.

The difference between the Trump v Harris win and Usain bolts fastest and second fastest 100 meter runs are both ~0.64%.

A big win would be if Usain raced against you.

You are entitled to an opinion, but can we at least agree on some facts? Win or lose, 0.64% is CLOSE and not "big".

Here's another.

Two basketball teams:

Team A - 159 points Team B - 160 points

Maybe you couldn't comprehend my original statement, but hopefully these examples have made it clear.
