It was the Detroit News headline "Trump goes after Ford Motor Co." not how long Hillary went overtime in the restroom that got our attention. Donald Trump made a whistle stop outside Grand Rapids, Michigan to take aim at Ford’s plans to expand production in Mexico. Trump promised if elected he would threaten manufacturers with big tariffs on imports to discourage building manufacturing plants south of the border.
Trump to Ford, "If you build that plant in Mexico, I’m going to charge you 35 percent on every car, truck part that you send into our country," he said. "Every single one." Trump went further saying he would engage in tough negotiations with car companies to build new plants in the US and Michigan. Political analysts say Trump’s proposal would at the very minimum require congressional approval and possibly violate NAFTA.

Partially. They loved FDR for it.
Don't know of any backdoor trade policies but yeah the voters are partially responsible.
I wonder if you'll be able to convince millions now living in decline, under the weight of punitive government control, it is them who are to blame for this disaster.
Oh I tell them all the time. I live in farm country and at partys the farmers definitely want more government subsidies, and so they vote for more debt. I've lost friends over it. But I value my country more than their friendship if they are that kind of voter.

If you're not drunk, you're dense. And I've answered your question. I'm not the corrupt anti-capitalist, you are.
I blame communists, atheists, watermelons, anti-capitalists, and the voters who put them in power.
I’d bet a cup of coffee you don’t support Trump. Am I right?
I would like to support Trump except this protectionist BS, the Oprah comment, flip-flopping. Oprah is anti-flyover country with her nutty beef stance.
I’m anti-capitalist because I want what is in America’s best interest, such as trade deals which would actually benefit America instead of punishing it?
With a bit of luck, hopefully all these trade deals will get renegotiated.
Btw, I like deadpan humor, but that's just weird.
Yep, thought so. Modern protectionism has an extreme left element to it.
Were you in a cave? Oprah did a major anti-beef campaign against western ranchers. I suppose you agree with that too, after all, it's anti-capitalist.
Btw, you calling me drunk won’t do much for your position. Trust me. You need to understand, I too can make up all kinds of personal false accusations and deliver them to you if you’d like. You might not want to go there.
Oprah?
Get real.
I answered your question three times, you didn't acknowledge it.
See the tag line?
Trump said it. Should he get real? I wouldn't consider Oprah for VP of a taco stand.
What about it?
You’ve stooped to Oprah jackassery. Gezzuzzz
See ya!
Isn’t Oprah one Hell of a Capitalist?
Not to western ranchers.
But what difference does that make,if she good for western ranchers?
She's elitist.
