President-elect Donald Trump says he is fighting to defend 'every last American job' and has been calling a list of 10 companies to tell them to stay put.
'It’s gonna be fun,' Trump said of his jobs push, which has already included an intervention to preserve jobs at a Carrier plant in Indiana.
'I actually love calling these companies. I say give me a list of 10 companies that are leaving,' Trump told a crowd in Iowa on his multi-state 'Thank you' tour where he once again ran through the states where he beat Hillary Clinton.
'I actually love calling these companies and saying, “Hi.” And I get the president of this company,' Trump explained. 'I say, “Hi, how are you doing?”'
Trump said he wanted to see Apple and other firms build 'big plants' here, and said Iowans 'know the name of one of the companies' he's in contact with – which could mean he was talking about Maytag, which has slashed jobs in Des Moines.
