So instead Toyota builds the plant in Mexico?
While you’re at it Donald, don’t allow ANY major business to move outside of the USA. Let’s see how that works.
As a free marketeer I think you should be allowed to build wherever you want, but this will will resonate huge in MI and some of the other rust-belt states (OH has been slammed hard by GM’s pull out). Trump will absolutely tear off a significant portion of Dem voters with this kind of talk.
So much for property rights.
That’s not for you to decide, Don.
At least he is opposing “that giant sucking sound”.
These are the kinds of issues that will get Trump independent and Democrat votes. Some will say he is just grandstanding but again he is the one bringing the issue of American jobs to the forefront. The Clinton/Bush/GOPe/Fox cabal and their minions cannot stand this.
Does Trump plan to nationalize the auto industry?
Why not?
Helps keep illegals in their own country and sticks it to the union selfish spoiled brats.
Get rid of unions. THEN we can complain about moving to other questions.
Oh, also get rid of MW. same thing. Also helps get rid of illegals.
Maybe GM and Chrysler, they took the king’s gold.
“king’s gold”=our tax dollars
But Ford? C’mon Don.
I won't hold my breath for details as to how he thinks he can accomplish this.
I’m all for auto makers staying this side of the border, so is Trump going to offer subsidies to them to stay here and be competitive ?
Taxpayer on the hook or will unions let them be competitive?
This is so funny. A couple of things to note:
1. Michigan is not an early primary state.
2. Michigan is not a red state. Maybe purple on a good day. Not red.
Now why, oh why would DT do such a “crazy” thing? C’mon. Especially the TDS sufferers. Why would he do that?
I say let them build where they wish. The people can buy from another manufacturer if they disagree. They can write Ford and tell them why.
Only saw the news conference BEFORE and blurbs of phrases meant to gin up the Lincoln Day Dinner (a Gopee fund raiser) base. Gee bet they could have had any candidate to speak
Can’t prevent them from moving. Sure as hell can Tariff their products coming back in.
Because fascism is so appealing.
Does anyone have a copy of the Constitution handy? Because I'm reading through mine, and I just can't seem to find the part that authorizes the President to approve or disapprove of a private company's plans to build a plant. I must be missing a page or two.
Also, someone should ask Trump about President Obama's approval (or the approval of previous Presidents) of Trump's plans to build hotels, golf courses, etc., overseas. Maybe that's what he was talking about when he said he bought favors from politicians? Hmmmm......C'mon, The Donald - let's see the long-form Official Presidential Approval for Overseas Developments (OPAOD)!
The only way the Donald could be right on this is if he sweetens the incentives for Ford to stay. Getting rid of those filthy unions would be nice.
ignoramus
Maybe he should fix the reasons why these companies move instead of pounding his chest making stupid statements.
