Summary

Aaron Renn says the PEOTUS made a smart move by keeping Carrier in the United States. But saving one company is not an economic policy. Renn is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

0:42.1	Maybe saw a little of himself in that guy.
0:44.1	And it was like he didn't even know they were leaving.
0:47.3	He said something to the effect, no, we're not leaving because Donald Trump promised
