Look genocide Joe and the Indian lady had something to do with Bernie not getting put on like 10 years ago, and 98.9 percent of Americans are single issue voters, I'm sure out of those 181,000 it's proving this administration was the greatest thing to black people since SoulTrain, and did you know they "planned" the covid 19 pandemic?

Trump donor who criticized offshoring to close Ohio plant and move work to China

Workers decried John Paulson’s plan after billionaire painted himself as advocate for domestic manufacturing

John Paulson, a hedge fund billionaire and one of Donald Trump’s earliest Wall Street backers, is planning to offshore an Ohio manufacturing plant to China despite heavy pushback from employees.

Workers at the plant call the move “a slap in our face”, after Paulson vocally defended domestic manufacturing, and are fighting to keep the plant open.

Conn Selmer, the largest US manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments, told the union it planned to offshore most work at its Eastlake, Ohio, plant to China by the end of June 2026, eliminating 150 jobs.

United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 2359, which represents the 150 employees, said workers were informed of the closing when it first sat down to bargain over their new union contract last month.

“We came in with a full proposal, fully prepared to bargain, and they started off with a presentation of telling us how bad we were doing,” said Robert Hines, president of UAW Local 2359 and an employee at the plant. The company told them there would be no bargaining and the plant would be closing.

Workers say offshoring is an attack on the union, citing rhetoric that the plant has not been productive despite previous praise from company management.

Union workers say Conn Selmer opened a facility in China last year and gradually shifted their workload to that plant, though workers were told the new facility would not affect workload in Ohio.

“Almost immediately they started taking parts from certain product lines,” Hines said. He noted co-workers began complaining about brass metal coming from China that had to be scrapped due to poor quality.

Paulson made a significant portion of his wealth by betting against the housing market that crashed in 2008. A longtime Trump donor, he served on Trump’s economic policy team during his first presidential campaign and raised $50.5m for the president at his Palm Beach home in April 2024. He was in the running to serve as secretary of treasury during Trump’s second term but withdrew because of “complex financial obligations”.

Paulson, like Trump, has publicly criticized offshoring. “We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” he said during an interview with CNBC in September 2024.

Hines said offshoring the brass plant would be deeply offensive to workers after Paulson painted himself as an advocate for domestic manufacturing.

“To go publicly on CNBC to support the Trump administration’s positive views on tariffs and all that stuff, and then you turn around and [say you] want to go send the work right over to China,” Hines said. “It’s a slap in our face.”

There should have been a broad prohibition on offshoring a long time ago.

NEW: A panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council says newly released Epstein files point to a “global criminal enterprise” that may meet the legal threshold for crimes against humanity.
The experts cited systemic abuse rooted in misogyny, racism, corruption, and power — and called for a fully independent investigation, warning that incomplete disclosures and botched redactions have retraumatized survivors and left over 1,200 victims exposed.
