In the latest round of "Name That Scam", the promise of a large Iowa steel mill is just as true as "migrant caravans" were in "24.
“It sounds too good to be true, and it just might be,” a top Iowa GOP official told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid inflaming the Trump administration.

An election scam, Iowa.
Essar’s history raises even more questions.
Their Minnesota steel-mill promise collapsed in 2015 amid:
• Construction delays
• Unpaid contractor bills
• 2016 Chapter 11 filing.
• Roughly $60M owed to contractors.
• They still owe MN ~$22M of a $71M infrastructure debt.

And the steel mill plant is total bullshit. He claimed “ they’ve already started” yet no property has been purchased no permit requests. Nothing but bullshit from these fuckers. How much is he pocketing in that scam?

Anyone remember his 2017 Foxcom scam? Looks like he’s at it again, & I have no doubt the rubes in Iowa will fall for it!
Iowa already has environmental issues, but hey why not add to it with his steel mill con!
Also, does the timing of this seem fishy to anyone else?!

I'm questioning Trumps announcement of a steel mill coming to Iowa is another political scam like his announcement of Foxconn plant right before an election! The company he speaks of is just recovering from a bankruptcy so who would be crazy enough to loan them money for that big of a project?

Just got an ad for a PlayStation-branded credit card that gives you reward points or whatever for spending money on the PlayStation store and, like, I know Sony has been pulling some shit recently, but I realize they'd decided to go full on retail scam mill.

Without Murdoch's insidious manipulation of the media landscape over many decades, Trump would simply have been another blow-hard, run-of-the mill US property investor/ scam-artist.
