I know... I’m talking about the party that killed itself to win an election.

Donald is a dick. And obviously knows jack shit about cars, if that’s his argument. Or about quality, for that matter. Chevy making nothing interesting for the european consumer is not unfair, is free market.
When the 2019 Ranger comes out, I’ll do a side by side piece on how it compares to our ‘95 Ranger.
The thing that most people don’t understand is that final assembly is realistically a minor portion of the total impact for cars and trucks.
That’s the other thing. The press is REALLY quick to link a billion dollar investment to some tweets.
I don’t understand how FCA is going to spend a billion on retooling and such, because they do not have a billion dollars to spend. One of the largest automakers with the most debt and least amount of cash on hand, and one with the worst quality and reliability of any major manufacturer. Good luck FCA you are going to…
The problem is that it’s a short term gain. Americans like cheap stuff, and it’s not exactly cheap to make stuff here. Prices will go up, oil will go back up, people will stop buying, and jobs will be lost. Maybe we bought some of those jobs a few years, but they’re going away eventually, and some would say better to…
It’s still a negative. He’s “creating jobs” by being a bully. Instead of developing an actual long term solution, he’s applying a short term band-aid. Competition from foreign automakers and reducing overhead cost are part of why American cars have become pretty awesome in the past 7 years. But with the government…
So when the sun shines somewhere in the world and the weather is pleasant....will Trump take credit for it?
If it reached a point where I had no choice but to drive a car that operated through menus, assuming it wasn’t mostly autonomous by then, I would ride my bike to work.
“Yes, this is nerd-dom set to warp-factor 11.”
Hey GOP... tell us again how you are in favor of free trade and the invisible hand of the marketplace.
Hey hey, let’s calm down now. We should be giving Trump the same credit all these wonderful conservatives have been giving Obama for the steady clip of about 200,000 jobs that were created each MONTH since about 2011, just getting out of the worst financial crisis we’ve seen since the great depression.
Your statement is true, except for everything about it. Employment data has been reported in the same manner for decades. So if Drumpf gets to take credit for 1400 jobs, Obama gets credit for 15 million.
Do you really think a corporate overhaul strategy that involves 13 new electrified vehicles, as well as shifting of manufacturing facilities, was all created since the day Trump was elected? This sort of stuff takes years to plan and execute, you know, from when Obama was president.
True or not, I really have to wonder what would have happened if any other president and most especially our Kenyan, socialist, fascist, Muslim dictator, pansy-man Obama had publicly made a tenth of the threats against business that Trump has. What would house and senate republicans as well as the conservative media…
While this is great and all (I guess?) it irks me that Trump feels the need a) to take credit where credit is not due, and b) thump his chest over 700 jobs. Monthly national employment reports usually show jobs numbers that fluctuate in the tens- or hundreds of thousands. 700 jobs at a Ford plant or Carrier plant are…
