The South Carolina Boeing plant where President Trump gave a speech promising to protect U.S. jobs says it’s laying off workers.

Boeing confirmed to CNNMoney Thursday that it’s cutting about 200 jobs at its plant in South Carolina. This is the first round of layoffs at the factory since it began making the 787 Dreamliner there in 2009.

Speaking at the plant in February, Trump promised a crowd of assembly workers, managers and executives that “jobs is one of the primary reasons I’m standing here today as your President, and I will never, ever disappoint you.”

What?? Next thing you’ll be telling me those jobs he said he saved at that Carrier plant weren’t actually saved.

I will never, ever disappoint you.

To be fair, so far he’s kept that promise, with me at least. Low expectations can make for a lot of winning, apparently.
