Discussion: Trump To Japanese Auto Firms: 'Try Building Your Cars In The U.S.'

1 Like

Earlier in his speech, he congratulated Japan on “winning” for “the last many decades” and said the U.S. would do more trade with Japan than it would have if he had stayed in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Trump pulled out of in January.

Meanwhile the TPP negotiations continue to move on - with countries like Japan and China set to take leading roles excluding the US. Because Dotard - who hates details and won’t lift a finger (or brain cell) to learn them - thinks that he can delegate creating individual trade deals (that are Better!!) with each participating country.

One more stage in the international arena on which Donnie has gleefully shoved the US off the platform claiming… “WINNING!!!” Who is in charge of negotiated these agreements? Forest Jared Kushner? Better hurry up before either you throw him under the bus, or Mueller starts filing sealed indictments.

Clearly Tramp knows nothing about Japan’s embrace of W Edwards Deming’s TQM principles after WWII. Why would he? It requires learning, thought and the ability to apply theory to actions.

I am so embarrassed to have this man as a so-called president but must admit that the air is fresher, the sun brighter and my mood lifted with him out of the country.

Do we have another Mueller Monday on deck for today?

"Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so.”

Really?!?! No one willing to at least step up and explain that certain behavior is disrespectful and embarrassing to the U.S. Every day this fool remains in office, the dignity of our Nation suffers.

What a disgraceful embarrassment this ignorant oaf is. Maybe he should try moving all his family’s “Made in China & Mexico” factories back to America as an example, but I’m sure that would be to much to ask of Trump when his true bottom line is personal profit and has nothing to do with the welfare of this nation or its people.

We can take some small comfort in the fact that absolutely nobody–not the Japanese dignitaries, not the auto companies who probably look at him as a Temp, not the government employees he’s betrayed, not even his “If he cheated it’s OK rubes”–is listening to him.

Trump is out of the country for 12 days. Can we convince him to seek political asylum? The Philippines would be a good place for him. There’s a Trump Tower in Manila, lots of corruption and he and Duterte are birds of a feather.

Has anyone pointed out to der Furor that the Japanese do build tens of thousands of cars here?

I like this idea - also - where is Pence? Might be a good time for him to get the 25th Amendment process going - because we have a mental health crisis in America - right in the White House.

Apropos displaying his ignorance and stupidity:

[Donnie and Abe were to ceremoniously feed the (very expensive) koi fish by sprinkling a spoonful of food for them. As Abe is explaining how the fish are very, very sensitive to over-feeding, Donnie upends the entire box into the pond…][1]

Dickhead.

(It cannot be repeated enough.)

No, that would take hours of investigated journalism.

The last car I own ed was a Honda Accord that had been assembled in my home state of Ohio. The components came from many places but auto plants still stimulate a lot of ripple effects with supplier plants, specialty machine shops, etc. I was happy to help Ohio. Trump probably doesn’t realize that even with domestic content laws, places like Thailand get all the cars sold locally in their country to be built there.

I was just going to Google that. Anyway, Honda has four US plants, Nissan has two & Subaru has one. So, President Numbnuts was only off by at least 13 factories. Which is 13 more factories in the US than his family has, BTW.
