He said he was going to stand up to this sort of stuff and punish companies for leaving, instead he's incentivizing them and oh yeah jobs are still leaving.

I didn't say the left was upset, I said they were criticizing Trump (maybe it would have been more accurate to say Trump supporters?).
Trump laid out a lot of conciliatory words in his speech yesterday, and I hope he does more of that, but have you seen any of this on CNN, Yahoo, anywhere?

But we are going to be bring our country together, all of our country. We're going to find common ground, and we will get the job done properly. We'll get it done properly.
But to succeed, we must enlist the effort of all Americans.
For too long, Washington has tried to put us in boxes. They separate us by race, by age, by income, by geography, by place of birth. We spend too much time focusing on what divides us. Now is the time to embrace the one thing that truly unites us. You know what that is? America, America. It's America.
Because when America is unified, nothing is beyond our reach. I mean that.
You hear a lot of talk about how we're becoming a globalized world, but the relationships people value in this country are local -- family, city, state, country, they're local. We'll compete in the world.
...
We're going to seek a truly inclusive society where we support each other, love each other and look out for each other.
We condemn bigotry and prejudice in all of its forms. We denounce all of the hatred and we forcefully reject the language of exclusion and separation. We're gonna come together. We have no choice, we have to -- and it's better -- it's better.
We seek a future where every American child is fully included in the American dream.

Forget all the other stuff, this is the language of unity, and I hope he follows it up with working with local cities to make the inner cities good places for our children, rebuild infrastructure, bring jobs back.
But I don't think I heard ANY news outlets (even Fox) bring these words to the fore front. Instead most of the media tries to find ways to detract from a decent accomplishment with Carrier.
