So yea he's paying a foreign company $40k per person to hire 7500 boarder patrol agents in the US.
The company has had the contract 10 months so far and has been paid $13 million dollars already.
They have successfully hired 2 agents in 10 months for the cost of $13 million dollars to the tax payers.. Not including the salary of the agents.
Trump's great negotiation skills didnt even get a performance based contract. They get paid the $297 million over 5 years if they hire 7500 agents or 2....
What a great deal...

I'm sure Robbie will be completely outraged about this.......if Obama did it. |
It's not a bad idea to hire a company to fine border patrol agents because we badly need them. However, this is a perfect example of the supreme dealmaker making yet another shitty deal. Reminds me of that deal in Wisconsin where they gave billions to a company that was supposed to create 40,000 jobs and instead, once they had the money, the company built the factory, filled it with robots and ended up only hiring around 3,000 people.
