Yep, Trump gave GM and its wealthy owners, investors and top executives massive tax giveaways and corporate welfare and they took the money. Then he imposed massive tariffs that slashed their ability to sell their cars, so they are laying off 14,000 employees right before Solstice / Yule / Christmas / Saturnalia.
So much winning!
Hope all the suckers who voted for Trump are the ones getting laid off.
Fake populist. No help for working people.
REDISTRIBUTE all the wealth to the few richest elites who already had the most.
Maybe someone can make me understand this?Donald Trump used to be a private business man and disliked government interference in said business. Then he wanted to be President representing the party that hates big government and wants as little regulation of the market as possible. He becomes President and is now, as the highest representative of THE GOVERNMENT doing his best to interfere with how private companies are run?Is it just that I do not have a very tight MAGA cap that makes me unable to see the logic here?
I look at the future and see a decreasing need for personal ownership of cars. The operating cost and availability of driverless cars will reshape our buying habits soon.
No, no, no, Mr. Stantis. It’s not the Bush-Obama bailout you should question, but the HUGE GOP/TRUMP TAX CUT that they could apply to anything they want – but didn’t use for the business or the workers, going for a short-term payout instead.
I am of a mixed mind about this. It is bad about the jobs lost today….but for the first time in probably over 50 years GM is trying to prepare/plan for the future instead of just falling victim to it when it happens. In the long term, there is a kernel of hope in that.
The Orange Idiot is incomprehensible. Is GM supposed to keep losing money just to make him look good? They paid off all their bailout money and gave the U.S. a profit to boot. What is it the Orange Idiot thinks they owe him?
Trump isn’t an idiot and by continually saying that you misunderstand what he is good at and why he has stayed out of prison for so long. His Machiavellian I.Q. is strong.

NO ONE is surprised by this, right?
Shocked maybe, but everyone (maybe except Trump Disciples and their awesome analysis skills) knew this would happen, right?
And it’s not the first one, only the most publicized.

GM paid back most of it’s bailout. Not all, and some creative bookkeeping was in play. But it did pay back something.

GM is under no obligation to provide substance to Trump’s ignorant dreams.

Most of these large international corporations have stockholders all over the world. They don’t give a rat’s @ss about American taxpayers. Just sayin’
