When did he promise government grants?

He made some promises to workers in unprofitable industries, like reducing regulation on coal, but I can't think of or find any promises of new grants or subsidies.

And he's eliminating some huge government grant/subsidy programs, like the ACA.



Carrier is a fine example of promised government grants for not moving jobs. The grants were just in the form of tax breaks [0] (spending the tax revenue before it ever gets to congress).

According to your source, the tax breaks were offered by Indiana, not by Trump.
