But it is also clear that self-promotion and political calculus are driving some of the announcements.

In the broader context, the benefits for workers are "trivial"

Yes they are stroking Trumps ego to avoid any blow back if they didnt bend the knee

Of course there’s a political component to the announcements. Obama didn’t announce his major accomplishments? He kept it all a secret?

Do you people hear yourselves? You don’t see the obvious bias?
