To think that this idiot can fool so many people is just ludicrous.

💪🤬

Now that's winning

But ….. but ….. Hunter’s laptop ….. and ….. um …… the birth certificate ….. and ….. uh ….. Benghazi ….. and ….. and ….. the tan suit …. and ….. um ….. OH MY GOD WHAT ABOUT THE EMAILS

Weird how everybody knows the truth about tariffs except Trump and the Republicans.

So we’re paying those tariffs in more ways than one if your investments include GM stock.

Donald Trump is too busy being a pedophile to understand how tariffs work.

UAW Trump supporters looking dumb as hell!

Yep.

Yeah, TRUMP LIED. Imagine that.

How’s this goin’ for ya GM? sign.moveon.org/petitions/ge...

Mussolini was very popular in the beginning of his tenure.

#FAFO

was does GM say?

I didn’t think that because I knew the TRUTH, and knew I was not alone 😡 Only ignorant folks believed the traitor felon conman’s big ugly lie about his insane and inane tariffs 😡

Wow, that's shocking, but did you know that DonOLD is in the Epstein files?

The amount other governments pay for 🍊💩🤡 tariffs…

Guess I'm another country... tariffs are taxes...

#TrumpTaxes

Yeah but what about the greatest 6 months in US Presidential history??

I know, I miss Biden, too.

Destroying our economy to own the libs.

If you want to buy a GM car or work for GM, please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think about tariffs. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

But Toyota stock went up cuz he's made it cheaper for the Japanese

They claim $110 Billion collected: that by standard measures is between $440B and $770B out of local economies in the spending cycle as those ILLEGAL taxes leave the local economy, killing their local businesses and jobs... and will further destroy Rural America.. you know MAGA land

Oh and all those price increases? Yup paid for by us not the country he tariffed! #shit4brains

EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN 🐖PIGS!🐖

Release The Epstein Files

China weeping… According to a 2025 survey of more than 100 U.S. automotive executives, about 76% believe it is inevitable that Chinese car brands will enter the American consumer market in the near future.

Well maybe they will offer well built economical basic cars.

And their EV will kick Tesla's ass.

We certainly hope so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean somebody lied? Who?

Democrats in the House should make use of Johnson's "vacation" by staying in DC and meeting regularly in public to create a plan with the theme, REPAIRING THE DAMAGE. It won't be able to bring back those who die due to Republicon actions but it could be a positive step to hit the ground running.

Democrats , like always, will be doing nothing effective with their time to stop the fascism. All but 4 of them just voted for genocide alongside all but 2 of their repug counterparts. When is everyone gonna understand that we save us;no politicians will.

Trump's tariffs are stupid.

Companies get bailed out with working class people's taxes.

Hmm. I’m confused.

Geez .. hope these tariffs on other countries don’t lead to 2 billion in price increases (or even lay-offs to lower costs .. or both). Thanks Tiny Fingers

Trump says it is the fault of Big Bird. Problem solved.

Where did you hear tariffs were paid by other countries? Have you been sneaking onto Earth 2?

Are they eating cost?

And Mexico will pay for the wall

Then you don't understand tariffs, just like your president. Or you are making a joke.

Democrats are going to have to rescue the auto industry again, aren't we?

No, no. They and the housing industry already got their bailout once. Either bail your own self out, or scale back your operations. Nobody can afford new homes and cars right now anyway.

Why would we do that? Let Trump take the fall. I don’t want to see the workers hurt but we can’t keep saving the day and trust that republicans won’t do it again. It’s the definition of insanity

We should abandon the car industry and create a green world. Everything else is suicide

Fuck that, let Republicans rescue it with all that donor and billionaire money. They just voted to fuck us and I'm sure GM donates to these morons

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #nonotes

First we have to take back the congress.

F##$ THAT F them that's what they do to us F that go under! Bust the monopolys!

And small business, farmers, schools, science, pharma...

Auto, Farmers and get our trade partners to trust us again

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuk ....

If there’s a silver lining its practice makes perfect.

The only people who deserve "rescuing" are people who work, not lazy rich slobs who live off of other people's labor.

More like America itself.

Yuuuuup…

Socializing the risk while privatizing the profits. 🤬🤦‍♂️

nope

Depends on how hard they are fighting against trump and the tariffs. Times have passed where we need to be bailing out businesses. They need to be complaining and talking about the new prices for cars and parts. Let Joe maga know how the tariffs are impacting the costs.

And that is why Democrats almost never get to enact legislation and policy changes. Because they spend the first mandate cleaning up Republican messes. If they are fortunate enough to have a second term, there’s usually the Congress or the Senate which have turned Republican.

NO NO NO NO, I’m done bailing out billionaires and corporations that donate to people who destroy their businesses.

But hey, we can have unregulated Nazi AI so all is not lost.

“Follow the money: Barra’s compensation included $2.1 million in base salary (unchanged since 2017), $19.5 million in stock awards (up 33% YoY), $6.7 million in incentive pay (up 27%), and $1.2 million in other benefits.” They will cut autoworkers before executive pay will ever be touched.

Gerrymandering. Is it possible cut the districts just a little too tightly and have it blow up in the GOP’s face? I m mean it’s seems gerrymandering has a shelf life, too. People move and stuff🤔

They have no idea how much support they've already lost ala Epstein files. Gerrymandering alone might not even save them now. They too see the prices of everything going up and up, this is the other area we need to keep in the forefront.

Jess has said nothing will free their minds. I have said, delusion has become identity. Possibly, some of his oligarchic support is cracking. Musk, obvi, but now Murdoch and some elected Rs? Leo still tight w him? Might the ollies will loosen up the prop at the Supreme Ct? Nah. That’s for them.

Also Putin dis respecting him in public.

And the ceo will get a sweet deal while the employees take pay cuts and lose benefits.

Free Luigi?

We don’t know that he did anything wrong yet.

Safeguard the pension fund. It's a classic move. #DailyMirror #Murdoch Even #ConradBlack, ffs. #DominionStores

Personally I say fuck them. Every time they’re saved they learn the lesson there is no consequences to bad behavior.

NOT Tesla.

Better rescue the American people first bc these fuckers brought this on us w their feeble, mediocre CEOs making SO much bank.

Bailouts and subsidies sound a lot like socialism. I don’t know if those free market capitalist MAGA types will like that.

Nope Too late. The cheaper EV's from China will destroy our auto industry. There is no way we can keep up with the technology now that Trump has backed away from supporting it because he has a bizarre hatred of EV's and renewable energy.

And the banks. And agri businesses. And too many billion $ companies.

No. We don’t fucking have to. Let the deal with the consequences of voting trump.

Or, and hear me out, we could not bail them out again.

Yeppers

No. Not again. Rescue student loans first

Yup! Along with equality, a functioning government and the economy in general.

Don’t forget civil rights, the department of education and the 14th amendment!

EPA, FEMA, NASA, USAID…

Don't forget that Supreme Court!

NOAA, HHS, NIH, SSA, National Park Services, the Oval Office booger desk…

They chose.

I say we don’t this time.

By they time they get control back,... yes.

Nope we’re going to have another bailout on taxpayer dollars.

No way. Dems need to stop bailing out industry and start bailing out people.

Fuck it, let it burn down and we will rebuild differently.

NOPE LET IT DIE

I was riding McClain hard on this, she doesn't care. Just wants her photo op.

Not without massive concessions on the auto industries’ part.

They fought the EV future for too long. Now they are too far behind China's EV technology to ever catch up. The auto industry can't be saved because management killed it.

JFC, I hope not.

Meaning, no more bailouts, particularly for industries/CEOs that voted for this shit, unless they want their profits socialized along with their losses.

We shouldn't. Their CEO's and shareholders probably support Trump. We bailed out the banks and auto companies once before. If they haven't learned yet, oh well. The capitalist market decides.

Or not.

Let them ride the bus.

And the farmers.

And the banking industry once the crypto coins crash.

Not under this regime. Will have to wait for a Democrat to bail out the country again.

Not if they donated to Republicans.

^^^^^^

Maybe attach some fucking strings this time.

Won’t be able to this time, I’m thinking.

Maybe? The unions are super willing to shiv the Left these days

I say..this time...we don't. Last time millions of workers were affected by the MASS buy outs forced on them by the Auto Industries spending large amounts of money on machinery collecting dust. They can pull themselves up by their boot straps

fuck let it all just burn this time, because these MAGA "pedo-fuckers" will never learn, let's see what comes out of the ashes of what used to be America.

I'm from Detroit. I wouldn't recommend it

Democrats are going to be handed a mess and then get blamed for not fixing it in only 6 months.

Can we do it after forgiving student loans and also funding public education?

I'm retired Ohio Unemployment Mgmt. My job was to ensure teams were prepared for economic downturns. We started preparing in 2006 for 2008 (hiring and training claim processors). Ford and GM were cutting payroll thru attrition and voluntarily layoffs in '06. We knew it was coming almost...

two years in advance. I recently had lunch with some of my team who I personally trained. Their words, "It's feeling like late-2007 and likely all hell breaks loose later this year or early next. This will statistically be a lot worse and longer lasting than 08". Take that for what it's worth🤷‍♀️

We’ll have to spend the entire first 4 years cleaning up the lunatic autocrat’s huge orange shit piles.

And the farmers......

There should be strings attached. No free ride.

They paid back the last time ... early, in fact. But yeah, think we're going to have to.

If they can rouse themselves ...

NO. The reason being is because that was a billion dollar self inflected wound to appease the orange king.... had they passed along the increase in cost of materials and parts, the orange king would have been blamed. But they chose to eat it. So, F them.

there won't be any money left to save anything. trump and billionaires will have it all.

The auto execs will get a fat bonus at their hands. WE will get the tab.

Doesn't America ever get tired of the Republicans ruining the economy, the Democrats rebuilding it, and the Republicans reelected to do it all over again?

And the banks.

They will have to rescue a whole lot of stuff due to the Republicans crime spree

and the travel industry

NO. Let’s look at CEO pay. Done helping these people have way too damn much!!!

Nope, they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. The Airline industry can also eat a bag of 🍆s.

No! Let them suffer like the rest of us. They supported Trump, didn't they?

Actually, I think they need to allow the destruction to continue. They don't need to rebuild what was never built well to begin with. We need to scrap this. Start over. This was never done right to begin with and using duct tape to keep it going is not going to make it better.

Who's gonna rescue us?

Fuuuuucccckkkk!

Nope

No more bailouts

And a lot more. They have broken so many institutions we will be lucky if they can be saved.

It’s a cycle we need to stop. It creates trauma bonds to the GOP. 🛑

No

Nope. Let's get imports, better built, better mpg, better emissions, better safety features, better prices... after the coup.

We need to stop the business of corporate bailouts. They need to learn to have a savings account and not by back stock.

Don't look at me. I recently bought a Toyota.

No. We will rescue the poor and needy!

What if we say no. This time they fail like Desoto and Studebaker. Too big to fail is just PC for privatize profits socialize losses.

Yep. 😡

nah, let's build trains and transit

We should get stock in the company

NO NO NO NO, I’m done bailing out billionaires and corporations that donate to people who destroy their businesses.

No, not willing to rescue corps again. I learn the first time, don't usually make the same mistake twice.

Yes yes we are

I hope they don't. This is all self-inflicted. Why aren't they screaming to 47 about his tariffs and what he's cost them? Oh, wait, they get a permanent tax cut, so there's no 5 alarm here.

Or just let it tank. Republicans have made a fine mess of things, again, and they did it in less than one year, that has to be a record, even for them!

The Big Lie Chapter 10.

That is a resounding yes

And farming and trucking and ports …

Never again.

No they did this to themselves there union members voted trump let those f sink

Don't. Stop helping the fossil industry anymore. They're damaging the planet. Never help this kind of criminal enterprise. Sue them instead, hold them accountable for the damage done.

Well, President Obama did it right. Turned Bush bailouts into LOANS repayable with interest. Kept them working, didn't cost us anything. Same with banks. Kept our savings, CDs etc. safe; banks had to pay for it.

It’s the same GOP playbook- loosen regulations that bad actors take advantage of and leave a mess.. The crash of Silicon Valley Bank can be directly tied to the GOP Controlled Congress that loosened bank monitoring from 50 billion to 250 billion.. SV Bank was a 209 billion when they crashed

Had the GOP not loosened those Dodd Frank regulations passed under Obama ( and a few Democrats also voted for it) SV Bank would have been under monitoring and the situation would have been forced to be corrected BEFORE crash and subsequent bail out..

No argument, but you missed my point. GHW Bush bailed out S&Ls. When Dems tried to get a miniscule set-aside from them for the future, his Sec'y of Treasury recoiled in horror, "We have a FREE market economy!" Obama used that against them. Get LOANS not HAND OUTS. Protect the PUBLIC first.

Yet he was still let with spending 8 years bailing us out of the mess that Bush left.. That would have been the 2nd Great Depression if Bush hadn’t bailed out Wall st & S & L’s 🤦‍♀️ And that had international repercussions as well as in the US and they fared much worse.

But Obama's way was better by far. We got paid back-no bonuses until it was paid off, quite the incentive-and not a hand out. That's a model that should always be used as the first step when malfeasance is involved.

Actually it was under Bush that the law was passed for the bailout and the plan to recoup those funds.. Obama was the one that passed the plan for the bailout of the auto industry and repayment ..

No. The part about recouping funds did not fly. I was very much a supporter. We didn't succeed. Obama helped both financial institutions and autos as loans which was his creation.

Actually it did- feel free to look it up like I did.. It wasn’t all Obama on that - and I checked that out very thoroughly.. Sorry it is very important to present real facts -especially when Maga claims it was Obama that bailed out Wall St & S & L’s which he did not- TARP act passed under Bush..

We need a better system for holding corporations accountable- and especially CEO’s — they have zero problem ignoring our laws as long as they see the benefit is higher than the cost for them.. And the large fines they assess today are much cheaper to them than the profits they make until caught

It's not just banks. Plant closings in the 70s, 80s used the Prohibition-era fast write-down to close, get wads of cash from the IRS and supposedly go into a new business but often just posted it as "profits". Bethlehem got almost $1B for one plant. All these laws need revision.

Remember how Carter got blamed for not fixing the inflation- yet most of of that inflation started under LBJ (2.79%) Nixon ( 6.01%) Ford ( 8.11%) and Carter (9.85%) GOP rewriting of the story..🤔 www.investopedia.com/us-inflation...

Who was in charge for most of the 70’s/ 80’s— the GOP with their deregulatory polices.. The U.S. Presidents who served during the 1970s and 1980s were: 1970s Richard Nixon (1969-1974) Gerald Ford (1974-1977) Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) 1980s Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) George H.W. Bush (1989-1993)

It all is part of a pattern.. they screw it up and we clean it up for them to do it again…😡

Yes. Who disagrees? Nobody.

Do you live in a red state? You would be very surprised at all the BS many of them believe here… have been quite shocked to learn that they live in an alternate reality from the one most of us know- all programming from their GOP elected officials…😳

Here in Alabama, white supremacists think Democrat is a synonym for the N word. The majority of white people are evangelical Christian, which requires belief in supernatural things. They believe that zygotes are equivalent to infants, too.

Don't live in a Red state but am from one. Yes, I know.

Agree.. My point was this is a common pattern with the GOP deregulation that allows this that want to take advantage to do so.. Same with the mortgage securities and mortgage companies like Wells Fargo approving substandard mortgages for more profit..

As per usual…sheesh!

We always have to rescue everything, esp the economy - the Repubs run it off the rails and then the Dems have to right the ship

No!

Honestly, bailing these guys out every single time after they lobby for politicians who cause this mess needs to end. These fuckers need to finally feel some consequences. Im sorry, no bailouts for these assholes.

And whatever happens when crypto implodes won't be pretty

Just pls skip Tesla. Let them burn.

I don't think we should rescue them this time. I worked as a senior mechanical designer of OEM wheels for GM. It is time to let it fail. IMO.

I agree, let them fail.

I don’t want democrats to rescue any industry that hasn’t fought this administration tooth and nail. Fuck all of them

Democrats are going to have to save everything in the whole fucking country.

And then take the blame because interest rates go up a half-point.

And the bill should go to billionaires

We will never get a chance again.

No I see republicans doing that but taxpayers still get screwed

And probably the steel industry, too, again!

Trump isnt happy bankrupting just himself, hd has to take out other businesses as well

We need to change the wording. Call it a sales tax instead of a tariff. We all know who ends up paying a sales tax.

Nope

When the leopards feed the leopards to the leopards 🤷‍♀️

Tariffs are a sales tax that Congress allows Trump to take "credit" for so they can say they aren't raising regular American's taxes.

These popular fragrance brands have all announced price increase Aug 1. Xerjoff, Nasomatto, Orto Parisi, Mancera, Montale, Vilhelm Parfumerie, Etat Libre d'Orange, Roja, Simone Andreoli, Profumum Roma, or Amouage.

The owner of the coffee shop I’m sitting in expects to be forced to quit carrying popular Brazilian coffees by Trump’s tariffs which will push up all other coffee prices.

MY GOD, HOW STUPID ARE THEY? Trump followers, But then again, trump didn't understand. He still doesn't understand. So many have tried to explain it to him. All he knows is that initial tarriff goes to govt. All he sees is money. He doesn't care where it comes from, He's a sadistic dictator.

I love that he told Walmart to eat the tariff. He finally understood something & wanted merchants to pick up the tab. He doesn't care who picks up the cost of tariffs,imposed for no logical reason, he just wants the money. He spends US money as if it is his. At this point, it is his. HE's a dictator

Oh, Trump understands, but he also understands that his MAGA base is way to dumb, too ignorant of matters to do with macro economics.

Taco borrows the “Men In Black” neuralyzer to quote his supporters’ minds and implant his nonsense in their brains. Thus far, it’s working. If this was a Star Wars movie, Obi Wan Taco would say, “These are not the prices you think you’re paying”.

We need some blue-midnight riders throughout rural communities posting Tariffs are a Tax on Us signs at major intersections. Where is my posse?

Wondering what level of pain & depravation will people have to feel to themselves, before they wake up & pinpoint the source?

Even better. A Toyota produced in Japan now has only 15% tariff on it, while an U.S. produced vehicle with parts from Mexico or Canada has 25% on it. He effectively made U.S. based production worse off. 😂

no one ever said the cheeto rapist was a smart person

Cheeto rapist has to be the worst retard to ever hold the seat of presidency in the history of the United States !! I'd bet anyone,,,

God damn it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I GUESS ALL THE UAW IDIOTS GOT WHAT THEY VOTED FOR HUH ....

🤓

*swerved at the last second to avoid mansplaining*

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH nobody deserves it more! They paid the felon a retainer fee or inauguration BS. So fuck them

How much dirty money did GM give trump to turn our country into a police state?

He’s either a true idiot or he’s doing these dumbass things to hurt the US at the direction of someone who hates the US! Hmm, I wonder who that could be?

He is grifting the country. Whose pocket do you think gets greased with $1B? He’s gutted everything and is stealing the rest.

He's a genius.

More of his base hit. “ I thought it was only gonna hurt the other people!”😱😭

Fake news everywhere. bsky.app/profile/dizz...

Trump's an idiot. Anyone who listens to someone who has bankrupted 6 businesses and thinks he is a smart businessman is also an idiot.

Yeh. Trump plays the stupid crowd like….. well, the stupid crowd! You have to be pretty stupid to fall his line of bullshit on tariffs. My gr 9 kids understood it in 5 minutes when we studied economic systems.

Shhh, you're talking to book-burners.

The GM that wouldn’t exist today without Obama. But the voters in Michigan have conveniently forgotten that.

No one is buying..stuff too expensive

Be careful what you ask for, corporate America; you might get it...in the end

Ppl cheered him for this! The stupidity of these magas vies equally with their hate!

So why did all these CEO’s line up to support him? Makes zero sense

He’s so stupid

As my mother used to say”he doesn’t know sh.t from putty “ . lol

My daddy used to say, he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. 🙄

Stocks are at all time highs based on the strength of Trump's 'animal spirits' First they tanked on tariffs then rose - without reason This pump and dump scheme is making some people millions

way to go make a america mediocre and the monster rich.

A $1 billion dollar tariff tax paid by GM to Trump Means GM will charge a $2 billion dollar fee to be funded by us, their customers 💰Watch for next quarters’ earnings report

Yo, tRump, what Colbert said!

Just saw a Mazda ad that ended with "current inventory is not affected by tariffs."

Auto industry needs to be bailed out. The US Treasury Dept ends up owning @ 60% of all GM stock, which it eventually sold off for a net loss of 10.7 billion dollars. Now the Big Bro's policies are making GM stock go down again, which might require another bailout,.... The cycle spirals downward.>

Did the CEO's salaries change during the bailout? This is corporate welfare, and for some reason the government thinks it good policy to keep the corporations in a state of needing to be bailed out. No wonder people buy foreign products.

Dealerships should offer a "I didn't vote for this" discount.

Oh for heaven’s sake Jess, stop making sense. 🤣👏🏼✌🏼

But don't forget every time a tariff moves on or off, someone close to Trump is using insider trading to profit.

Take it out of the trump spoils.

That’s how you keep your stakeholders happy! I love this part for the corporations since they donated so much to help him get elected now they also get to reap the rewards. 🤣🤣🤣

thedetroitbureau.com/2019/01/gm-f...

More now with the deal with Japan. America last

Foreign media reporting the truth.

#Guardian

Funny how that works, isn't it? Much the same here in the UK re Brexit… British media (& UK gov't) report none of the damage, while foreign media don't hold back. MAGAts' distant relatives in the UK cattle-trucked the UK, the same way some Septics have done to US.

Oh silly Jess

And they are FINE with this. Just just fine. Price of eggs goes up and they want Biden gagged and bound. BILLIONS of dollars lost…….so sad this country

I would like to hear what that dumb-ass dipshit Petr Navarro has to say about that.....

*Me, knowing I warned people but went unheeded, my phone now buzzing nonstop from friends and relatives learning trump is doing exactly what I warned about but got told I was overreacting at the time.*

...and who did Chevy endorse for prez?

Oh the fuckings you’ll find… All the union-workers (and there were too many) who voted for this goon have just fucked their fellow workers…

Right?!?

Wow, maybe they don’t share the same goals as Trump as they did in December www.freep.com/story/money/...

Those unions supported Trump. Elections matter.

Finally. A way to track all these winning tariffs.. www.tradecomplianceresourcehub.com/2025/07/23/t...

My Thoughts exactly. Gee, were we lied to ?

I just put my entire Ira into gold and went all cash on my trading account. This show is just getting started.

I locked my retirement savings in, in February. I could see quickly that a safe haven would be needed.

#TacoTrump

Not you but them. 😁

Right! He said we were raking in the money! 😲

Mexico is paying for the wall too

I hope any of these big companies that supported or donated to republicans are feeling enough consequences to fight them finally.

Rule #1 Trump LIES.

🤣🤣👍

Gee that won’t affect consumers.

Tariffs are paid for by other countries the same way the wall was paid for by Mexico. Stupid people will always just believe whatever Fox News tells them

1 billion out of a single company willing to admit it. Imagine all the small businesses that closed up too.

I have zero sympathy for corporations who backed Trump and are now # FAFO

Not to mention they were supposed to reinvigorate American manufacturing… and all this after the Biden administration helped rescue the auto industry and set it up (pretty successfully) to compete in the global EV market. … It’s almost like Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing 🤔

Almost?? 🤣

He knows what he’s doing. He’s deliberately destroying our economy so he and his billionaire buddies can buy stock cheap and so that enough people lose their jobs that they resort to crime and can then be subject to forced labor in the prison industry. Never attribute his evil to mere incompetence.

GM pulled out of the Chinese EV market near the end of last year. They can't compete. 😬

GM and Ford are still in market, they're just reselling/rebadging Chinese EVs, like Ford's doing with VW's in Europe. GM and Ford will cede most of their global market this decade at this rate.

That makes sense. It tracks with what I saw.

Exactly! I was tracking this last year when Honda's sales imploded. What's really interesting is China v World. Hyundai saw the writing on the wall and focused on rest of world so without China they're doing ok. Other brands like Ford are down 30% from their peak not long ago...

Also, many of these sales are Joint Venture sales. In GM's case, they're selling a rebadged Chinese budget car with almost no margin, so the units really shouldn't be taken at western market margin value.

Yikes!

It’s a little complicated because China has been using their state power to develop EV industry. They also have a history of “dumping” products (selling below cost) in other markets to push out competition and undercut domestic supply. It’s the reason they’re not allowed to sell their cars in the US

No... Buick Electra E5 and Wuling EV

It’s almost like Trump was put in power by a foreign adversary and told exactly what to do to demolish the US from the inside …

It’s exactly like that

Tesla are Prohibited from Selling their Cybertruck in Ireland Britain EU. Australia New Zealand. It FAILED 5 Safety Critical issues . Passenger safety. Pedestrian Safety To heavy for the standard motor vehicle license. The Width exceeds the Maximum for Euro roads. No forward impact Crumple zone

I’m pretty sure the cyber truck was not intended for the EU market 😂. I’m not really sure who it was intended for though… maybe Cylons?

An Albanian citizen imported a cybertruck into England. When stopped on a motorway. It was immediately impounded. No certificate off Road Worthiness. 2025. Albania is in Europe. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Yeah, Think. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Trump is the ONLY fool that believes tariffs won't affect the economy in a negative way.

Odd GM is a US manufacturer protected by tariffs

@piperformissouri.bsky.social, I'm sure either Reuters or GM has this wrong. At the very LEAST, we KNOW it's Biden's fault.

bsky.app/profile/kris...

FAFO 🇺🇸

if someone genuinely wants to know, tariffs force businesses to buy U.S. products (that’s bad): 1. tariffs are paid by the U.S. importer 2. this increases costs to import non-U.S. parts to build a car 3. U.S. cars become more expensive 4. less U.S. cars are bought 5. companies in U.S. lose money

And I thought the wall was something Mexico was going to pay for.

😁🖕🇨🇦

😂

Yea. And Mexico will pay for trumps wall also. Serial liars will lie.

But Trump claims he is labor-friendly. GM will need to do one or more: hurt the shareholders, cut labor, raise prices to the consumer.

Companies should pass the cost onto consumers. When the public is aware of the effects on prices and angrily confront their Representatives, maybe they’ll grow a spine and take their power back. When a company absorbs the cost, it’s another form of appeasement to a President who doesn’t deserve it.

Companies are passing the cost onto consumers, Americans will pay on average 3,000 dollars more for tRump tariffs.

Right?! It's almost like #DoneOldDrumpf doesn't know what he's talking out. Huh.

I am paying $3.00 more for coffee. I am sick to death of a Sexual Predator whose first wife was a sex trafficker along with her pal Maxwell-that no one wants to talk about. If she gets even one day less of her sentence, it won't be pretty. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE

Up 9% today.

Oops

Tots and pears.

Would love to see them in a ring. Get it finished the old fashioned way.

And the price of cars will increase so we pay the GD tariffs🤬🤬

Wait, CNN says his trade wars are an impressive feat! (Actually I could read the whole article, made me ill) www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/b...

Layoffs next?

And past on

Thank God the price of eggs are down.lo

The first domino .....

That’s gotta be wrong. China pays the tariffs according to the orange buffoon.

Their 6.2 L V-8 engine is taking a far bigger bite !!

America First & bringing back manufacturing by increasing input costs & inflation at the same time....while devaluing the US $ Bankrupting America & replacing our global currency is what it will do!

You just posted a paragraph that Donnie Taco would not t understand if an aide read it to him three times.

Repeating. One auto has ONE MILE of copper in it. Ford sold 4.4 million vehicles in 2023. That's 4.4 million miles of copper. Trump put 50% tariffs on copper. The earth's circumference is around 28,900+ miles or pole to pole 28, 800+ Sooooo... It's gonna get ugly.

Let’s also talk about all those microprocessors that come from Japan, Taiwan and China….

And the iridium, lithium and other minerals gifted by the universe that goes into vehicles. Nuts. It's all so insane.

1 mile of 18 gauge wire weighs 25 lbs. The majority of copper wire in a car is 18-20. gauge with a couple of exceptions like wires to the battery

Red wires are hot unswitched.

????

1 mile of 18 guage wire wholesale costs around $500 before tariffs

🤔

😶‍🌫️

That tariffs are eventually passed on to the consumer is something covered in Economy for Dummies chapter 1. Actually, we covered that in about 5th grade history (segment covering first century of the republic). What *do* they teach kids in school nowadays?

Makes sense cause tRump's definitely a third grader for life !!

Move along, nothing to see except another accounting oddity... Did I get it right?

Tariffs on tea is why Boston had a tea party Tariffs are one of the reasons why we fought for independence from England Tariffs are classic Taxation Without Representation Congress never created, argued or voted for tariffs to be imposed on the American people

Still waiting for Mexico to pay for a wall.

Wonder if the auto industry regrets supporting tRump now?

Probably wish they had that million dollar inauguration donation back now don’t they.

WHY, OH WHY!!! is that pig not asked "WHO'S PAYING THE TARIFFS!!!!" Is the press briefed not to. He keeps braying tariffs are bringing $billions into the US....In his 1st term..."chyna is paying billions in tariffs to the US". Either he STILL doesn't know or expects his inbred MAGAts to believe him.

I agree, so strange not what we were told 😵‍💫🌮

Golden age indeed.

Never use the word ‘tariff’ without the word ‘tax’. Better yet, ‘Trump Tax’.

Good

#winning 🙄

Tariffs are taxed on US consumers. Did I mention that Trump raped children?

The GOp isn’t happy until they give to the rich & rob the poor. Destroying people’s lives! Hurting women & children the most! They won’t be happy till they’ve destroyed America. But they’re Christian’s & that makes it ok…. I guess🤷‍♀️

So he raised a billion dollars from American businesses with his tariffs and cost a large American Business another billion dollars, sounds like about a 2 billion dollar losses terrorists have caused US businesses.

Trump delivering for China!

FAFO!! Go read an econ textbook!!

Golly gee I didn't know that would happen!!

Well, it doesn't HURT to be STUPID but it ain't CHEAP

It hurts their wallets and savings 🤦‍♀️

Along with the country who paid to build the wonderful miracle wall!

The company I work for is looking at $80 -$120 million in tariffs they will have to pay.. They are trying to figure out how much they will have to eat and how much they can pass on to the customer.. its an American buisness .. jobs will be lost

Someone explain to donald. Oh that's right, they've tried. Talking to a post is difficult if not impossible

A post often plays an important part, He can only be compared with a pile of 💩

Hmmmmmm🤔

Oooops Reuters and whoever is the CEO of GM are going to cop it BADLY

Jess, are you telling me you and other American still don’t understand the reality of tariffs. Invite a Democrat to come speak to your community for a class about the practical results of Trump’s tariffs.

Totally weird

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tariffs are a federal sales tax.

Just eat it! Remember.

I believe GM donated to this fascist, FAFO.

Wait until you see that yesterday, Vz announced increased earnings based on the accelerated depreciation tax provision approved a couple weeks ago. So, no new investment (not enough time) - just another below the line, dumb tax program for big corporations

Nope, the American people are paying the orange idiot tariff taxes.

Eat the tariff and MAGA

Here’s the “dollar” tree. I kept saying very loudly in my Nebraska store that tariffs have hit and are we great yet?! Stupid Magats.

Good! Big corporations have had more rights than people and have not projected their voice loud and proud against trump and fascism. Shame on them. I have seen a bunch of videos of factory workers who say that trump is pro-union(a lie). If our auto makers do not stand up against fascism, they suck.

Fascism is supposed to help business. GM is not going to come out against fascism since on balance they benefit. They are going to come out against trade policy which they configured their business to take advantage of low cost foreign production.

Yeah, but businesses/corporations are owned by human beings. If the wealthy human beings do not place the welfare of their; employees, communities, and environment above higher profits, they suck. They can choose to make profits while being good stewards, yet they keep choosing not to. They suck.

The role of governance it to balance competing interests to hold greed at bay. Conservatives want governances out of the economic sphere. That creates an unstable environment for commerce. What choices a company makes, good, bad or indifferent have to be subject to constraints.

Unfortunately, it is easier for them to ask and receive a bail out. 🤬

Yeah, right? But economics was never my best subject, so what do I know 🤷‍♂️

Anyone who believed that sh*t is incredibly stupid.

Stupid stupid people that voted for turd

Tariffs are paid by the Consumers in the importing country. In trumpieland depending on what Tariffs are applicable. The New price will attract higher State and Federal Sales Tax. It is Generally considered internationally. That Potus trumpie is, an IMBICILIC MORON. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

And after they bribed(donated) to his inauguration. Way to go Barra! Now watch as we have to bail them out again so she gets her bonus and shareholders get their dividends when GM uses the bailouts for stock buybacks! Welfare for the rich while bad policy kills jobs.

He lies. The worst is yet to come. Illegal tariffs and all.

A billion here, a billion there... after a while it starts to add up.

It's a vicious, narcissistic cycle.

Huh. Imagine that.

It's almost like tariffs are used to raise the prices of foreign goods to match the prices of American made products. Really doesn't make sense to put tariffs on things that Americans don't or can't produce, but I'm just a lowly consumer, not a Wharton business grad.

How long until the new Suburban and Vette are parked on the White House front lawn with the orange peel idiot trying to awkwardly peddle another car when he doesn't even know how to drive.

Everyone but the felon is paying through the rear-end for those tariffs!
