Ah more Tariffs, because we know how effective they can be.

kstreet111 He inherited the very strong economy he brags about and, in fitting GOP fashion, he is taking every step to ruin it.

King of Bankruptcy strikes again

kstreet111 Vindictive bully.

kstreet111 Trump is not only stupid about the economy but dumb as sticks when it comes to buying cars to drive.

Tax payers bailed this pitiful motor company out of the trash and this is how they show gratitude .

Who could imagine foreign GM car from china?

Look If you cars are not selling. You make BAD CARS. Maybe you should not be in business.

Guess what GM... I will never buy a truck or SUV... I drive a 1 series BMW ... why would a 2 person family ever want an SUV! Gross

Trump is delusional

Dammit i’ll make sure NO ONE IS HAPPY!!

So it's all of these other companies fault that GM is falling behind them and you flat out lied to people promising areas to keep and even add jobs? Hmmm.... right.

GM sticking it to America so we Americans don’t need to buy their brand. I’m fine with a Ford

More anti-brilliant strategy from the “stable genius,” no ? But is rather entertaining that the ultimate con man was conned yet again. Such an easy target.

Pius idiot, the world according to him

Just because GM makes unpopular cars that they can’t sell doesn’t justify sanctions... Besides, Honda, Subaru, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes ans others all have large manufacturing sites in the US. So how would these idiotic sanctions be applied?

Plenty of foreign cars are manufactured in America.

Another tax? I just love winning with President Gut Feeling.

Like Toyota who has plants in America

Doesn’t sound very capitalist to me

realDonaldTrump threats are tiresome. Just shows he doesn’t know how to govern and his ineptitude shows he is flailing. What a boring buffoon.

Like a child who doesn’t get their own way.

I've run out of ways to say what an assholerealdonaldtrump is. If only he even had a clue what owning a car is really like. Just imagine him at a gas station, inserting the gas nozzle into the hole of the filler tube. He'd be pissed that the nozzle is so big.

He says forget mileage requirements, GM say no need for small cars, Trumps answer tariffs on foreigners. realDonaldTrump it's everyone but me - come on man 🕵️‍♂️

GM Mary Barra decision to eliminate 14,000 employees after lobbying from Obama and other Dem leaders. Mary Barra is also in John Podesta's email for Hillary to consider for VP- QAnon WalkAway Read full email and list here 👉

So conservative

And this helps the American consumer how?

'President Trump on Wednesday said...' is bad sentence structure brought about by TV news. Do we say 'I on Sunday go to church'?

HA! HAHA! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂‼️

Those tax cuts are really working for the working man.

Maybe Repubs, like Trump, should stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. Also, how about we give Americans some incentive to buy American made cars? Something like what SenSherrodBrown has proposed. This^ would work, unlike Trump's stupid trade war.

So GM bails, we lose jobs. Trumps answer, make foreign cars more expensive?

Instead of threatening foreign car manufacturers our soon to be former president should find a way to help the thousands of AMERICANS who will soon lose their jobs - he's beyond incompetent.

Impeach Trump

All Trump believes in is retaliation. With him it's always the negative, why can't he try to help positively.

Then I won't buy any GD car.. I'll wait. I've had one of my cars for 15 years, the other is 4. I can hold off for a decade until this loser is out of the white house.

Burn it all down, baby! Burn down the government! Burn down foreign relations! Disrupt the economy! Cause race riots!

I thought all those corporate tax cuts were going to create jobs.....

GM is an example of his true business skills.?

even GM is resisting after receiving blns from the gov? first - give money back

Republicans abandon any pretext of support for free markets.

How is that now Mr know it all it worked out nicely

How about putting penalties on U.S. companies who do not have loyalty to their own country.

He’s full of it. This is just posturing; the man has less care and respect for working people than almost anyone else in the country (and that’s saying something).

If Trump could he would declare bankruptcy now and write the presidency off on his taxes.

I’m sick of him! 😡

Yes Ducky. Tell us more about those trade wars being so damn easy to win.

Good he should do it.

Actively destroying the country. This isn't pure idiocy. It's purposeful.

Is that not good for America? Media says no.

Maybe if the US didn't make cars that fell apart after 40k miles? Jus sayin..

Your policy gave them ...............wow.

Corporate Socialism is defined as the transfer of capital, by the government to corporations.

But I thought cons like free market. Keep the gov out.

'I'm like a very StableGenius.'

That isn’t why they closed. He is so stupid.

First my iPhone, and now my car. This is war, realDonaldTrump!

deservedly so. GM cannot take US gov't bailout money, then move their production outside the country only to import the finished product back into the US. No no no no.

Congress should co-operate with Trump!

King Traitor mad.

Trump says auto tariffs 'being studied' after GM restructuring announcementPresident Donald Trump said Wednesday the U.S. government is studying tariffs on cars built overseas after General Motors announced a restructuring plan that involved closing plants in the United States. For Trump all of this is like a game. Playing with people's livelihoods for the sake of 'politics'. Only explanation is following Putin's guide to destroy the country from within LOL! Perhaps studying them before they were implemented would have been the way to go. 🤷‍♀️ That’ll solve it.

Trump Says GM Plant Closings May Justify New Car TariffsPresident Trump said GM’s plans to close several U.S. factories has prompted him to take a more urgent look at imposing new tariffs on imported cars. This is exactly the wrong response. Markets and companies need less distortion, not more. Man who only knows how to use hammer sees everything as a nail. More trade protectionism will only dig us deeper. Has any president had less understanding of economic policies than Trump?
