BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Signs Legislation To Help The Ailing 8-Track Tape Industry.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Signs Legislation To Help The Ailing 8-Track Tape Industry.

"That is what this is all about: bringing back our jobs, bringing back our dreams and making America wealthy again, Donald Trump said. Some of the best people make 8-track tapes and I know that because they believe in me. We're going to fight for their right to keep the jobs they've had for decades. This is a major step forward for America."

Republicans in Congress and the Senate supported the new legislation that removed all environmental restrictions on manufacturing 8-track tapes and gave them financial incentives to remain in the US.

"Mah dissrict has needud this fur a long time" wrote Republican Bill Johnson of Ohio in a recent facebook post.

In unrelated news, Rex Tillerson and Scott Pruitt announced they would be opening a new 8-track tape manufacturing facility in Cleveland.

These had better be four-channel eight-tracks we're talking about. or the deal's off.

There was a hole in the cartridge for a pinch roller to swing up move the
tape along. This had less wow and flutter stats than eight track.
