Travis Kalanick’s hopes to someday return as Uber’s CEO have just been dashed. Japanese conglomerate Softbank has struck an agreement with Uber’s shareholders to block Travis Kalanick from ever being reinstated as the leader of the perennially cash-burning ride-hailing company, according to Bloomberg.
In an article just published in the Washington Post, Donald Trump looks back at his first 100 days in office and explains, in his own words, how he "kept his promise to Americans." As we showed earlier, it is likely the case that those who origianlly voted for Trump will agree, while those who voted for Hillary, will not.
Here is Donald Trump, as posted in the WaPo.
"In my first 100 days, I kept my promise to Americans"
Jane Timm from NBC was working very diligently today, on International Women's Day of all days, in order to set the record straight for you Trumpsters out there who believe that he's done anything at all on the jobs front (note: ADP said 298k new jobs were created in America for the month of February, far exceeding the forecast of 190k).
Just under 70 minutes, 4,825 words, and the message was clear - the speech was about "will" and "Americans"
Additionally "Obamacare" was mentioned 5 times, "Historic" was mentioned 3 times, and "massive" twice.
..
I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. #JointAddress

While the full Trump speech transcript is below, for those curious only in the key economic/trade excerpt, it is laid out below:
My economic team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone. At the same time, we will provide massive tax relief for the middle class. We must create a level playing field for American companies and workers.
