OMGosh, these people are pure evil.

Are they checking the voter roles to see what their party affiliation is or are they just thinking that these poor folks who have become political pawns would be going for Trump because the economy is so good?

I hope that this witch loses her CEO job!!!

GM’s Overtly Political Move To Eliminate Ohio And Michigan Jobs In Order To Hurt Trump’s 2020 Chances

It’s not just that current General Motors CEO Mary Barra owes her high-paying position to former President Barack Obama, (The Obama administration had largely taken over GM with a highly-controversial taxpayer-funded multi-billion dollar bailout) or that she was on Hillary Clinton’s short list of potential 2016 Vice Presidential candidates, but that she is also largely controlled by the market influence of America’s #1 economic enemy – China. That’s right, China is likely the one behind the now-threatened closure of some of GM’s Ohio and Michigan manufacturing plants as the Establishment Media ramps up its “Blame Trump” coverage just days away from the president’s scheduled sit-down with China leader, Xi Jinping. Mary Barra appears willing to watch the destruction of American jobs in order to earn political points with her true master – China. ....

The above contains an excerpt from this Washington Times article...

Trump urges GM to close plants in China instead of Ohio

...On the same day that GM announced layoffs of up to 14,000 workers at as many as five plants in North America, including Michigan and Ohio, Mr. Trump told reporters he had a stern phone call with CEO Mary Barra in which he reminded her of taxpayers’ $80 billion bailout of the auto industry in 2008.

“The United States saved General Motors, and for her to take that company out of Ohio is not good,” Mr. Trump said. “I am not happy with what she did. They better get back to Ohio and soon. I was very tough when I spoke to her.”...

...The decision to halt production at the GM plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and its Hamtramck facility in Michigan are a blow to the states’ economies. And it could affect the re-election prospects for Mr. Trump, who won two years ago by capturing both states and has made big promises to those communities about his policies creating a resurgent American auto industry....

As Barra nears her five-year anniversary as GM CEO, the full scope of her imprint on the nation’s largest automaker is becoming clearer.

She’s made GM sharper, lighter and more focused on the future.

But understanding Barra’s strategy for the future requires a grasp of her past.

Barra has distanced GM from its old ways in a bid to propel the company into the future of self-driving cars, electric vehicles and ride-sharing networks.

Like Trump said, if some cars aren’t selling, switch the plants over to cars that are.

Ryan: Trump ‘did not lift 1 finger’ with GM

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/11/27/tim-ryan-criticizes-trump-stance-general-motors-erin-burnett-ebof-intv-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/this-week-in-politics/

This democrat is blaming Trump because the lowered the strict emissions standards. So what the democrat is say ing is, that they were making cars people wouldnt buy unless government regulations forced them to.
