The 'Official' Quit Picking On Trump Thread

TRUMP Has Pushed FORD to Return MEXICAN Plant to OHIO

Donald Trump may not be the president yet, but his constant criticism of Ford outsourcing jobs to Mexico has caused the auto tycoon to bring the $2 billion plant back to the United States.

CNN Money reports that Ford is moving its facility, originally slated for Mexico, back to the United States, where it will employ 1,000 factory workers in struggling Youngstown, Ohio.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recently said that if he’s elected he would take steps to make it more expensive for manufacturers to shift work to Mexico and then export the items back to the United States.

“How does that help us?” Trump said about the Ford investment in Mexico while campaigning in Michigan this week. “Mexico is becoming the new China.”

Ford has declined to comment, but many see this as a good sign, a welcome change after decades of outsourcing manufacturing plant overseas.

CNN added:

Ford’s heavy duty pickup trucks which used to be built in Mexico started rolling off an assembly line in Ohio this week.

That’s good news for the 1,000 Ford workers in Ohio, who might have otherwise been out of work.

It’s also good publicity for Ford (F), which has been under fire for investing so much in Mexico. In April, the automaker said it would invest $2.5 billion in transmission plants in the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Guanajuato, creating about 3,800 jobs there.

Ford’s south-of-the-border strategy has drawn heavy criticism from groups such as the United Auto Workers union and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The Avon Lake, Ohio, plant produced its first batch of Ford’s full-size F-650 and F-750 pick up trucks… .

That's why free movement of people should accompany free trade. If a company can move across the border, then job seekers should have the right to follow. They'd already speak English and have the work experience, so they could then easily compete against the locals.

The right to follow?

We have far too many useless things at present that are advertised as rights... We really don't need any more

Re: Who Hates Trump the Most?

Trump may be crazy, but I predict of all the candidates there is a bigger chance things will change, with him in charge, otherwise it will be more and more of the same old sh*t we've seen since Harry Truman left office. I would hope some of the changes we see under Trump would be changes for the good. It's long overdue.

Sometimes even changes for the worst aren't always bad if they can waje others up from their lethargy

Another Failure: Trump’s Flagship Taj Mahal Casino Closing For Good



The Trump Taj Mahal, which was once the mothership of Donald Trump’s crumbling business empire, will be closing once and for all after Labor Day weekend.

The president and CEO of Tropicana Entertainment, Tony Rodio, issued a statement about the casino shutting its doors, which was once dubbed “the eighth wonder of the world.” He said, “Currently the Taj is losing multi-millions a month, and now with this strike, we see no path to profitability. Our directors cannot just allow the Taj to continue burning through tens of millions of dollars when the union has single-handedly blocked any path to profitability. Unfortunately we’ve reached the point where we will have to close the Taj.”

Leave it to the Trump brand to lay the blame of a poorly managed casino which has lost $100 million at the feet of its workers. Those dealers, bell hops, and bartenders surely drove Trump’s former crown jewel into the ground and it had nothing to do with the decisions of management! “For a few million bucks, he could have had labor peace and a content workforce, but instead he’d rather slam the door shut on these long-term workers just to punish them and attempt to break their strike” raged Local 54 President Bob McDevitt.

It was reported at the end of 2015 Trump Taj Mahal employed around 2,100 individuals.

After Donald Trump was humiliated and forced to declare banktrumpcy with Trump Taj Mahal, one of four Trump bankruptcies, the failing casino was taken over in February 2016 by billionaire Carl Icahn, a longtime friend, and fierce Trump supporter.

Hillary Clinton visited Trump Taj Mahal on July 6, 2016 to rightfully mock Donald Trump and to show her support for the workers and their strike demanding fair payment for services.

A staple of Trump’s debacle of a presidential campaign has been his endless faux-tan bellowing about his ability to “create jobs” for the middle class, and here is yet another crystallized example of evidence to the contrary. Trump ran a casino into the ground, declared banktrumpcy, bailed himself out financially and sent all of his former employees down the river without a paddle.

The loss of these 2,100 jobs will just be the tip of the iceberg that is to be the proverbial Titanic of a Trump presidency. A report by Moody’s predicts President Trump would be the catalyst for 3.5 million Americans losing their jobs. When that happens, you can be certain a President Trump will then call those individuals lazy moochers and seek to revoke their unemployment benefits.

How can there be any doubt in the minds of American workers which candidate is actually fighting for the American middle class?

Chump is pathetic.

Now you're confusing many things. First, a person can be successful in one area and fail in another. Two, a person can be good or bad in business and good or bad in politics. Two separate things.

To be fair to Trump, he has been successful business wise overall. However, that means he knows business well but says nothing of his knowledge of political economics. His statements suggest he doesn't.

Don't matter, you just need one forte to anchor you (especially if it's accompanied with a piss pot full of money) A smart, rich guy can buy expertise, actually it wouldn't surprise me if Trump has a lot of it right on staff. Some idiot awhile back was bewailing the fact Trump doesn't know how many clauses there are in the Constitution. Who gives a f**k? He probably knows a dozen guys he can ask or Google it himself.

Trump's economic plan was a huge mistake

Trump's economic plan was a huge mistake

Forget the comments about Mexican immigrants. Forget calling for banning Muslims in the U.S. Forget the comments on whether the U.S. should use nuclear weapons. If you want to see something that Donald Trump has said that will finally cause permanent damage to his campaign chances, all you have to do is watch his much-anticipated economic policy speech in Detroit Monday.

Not only is Trump's plan already a flop, but it was a misstep in packaging and delivery that will extend his recent slump in the polls. And it's not because of any of the reasons you've already heard from the usual chorus of Trump critics in the media.

Trump's biggest mistake was presenting the public with a plan that was almost entirely the same kind of plan any Republican candidate of the last 36 years could have presented to the public. The newer and more marketable aspects of his plan were either barely mentioned, or not mentioned at all.

In many ways, the Trump campaign seemed to approach the speech and the rollout of the economic plan in general as if the most important goal was to present Trump as being in line with traditional Republican candidates of the past… even though those candidates have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections.

Trump cruised through the GOP primaries against all the odds by clearly separating himself from the Republican establishment. He did it in ways that have infuriated leaders of both parties and what seems like 100 percent of the news media, but he persevered.

And now, after a year's worth of skilled marketing that successfully separated him from that losing GOP national brand, Trump has waltzed right back into an electoral/ideological trap by delivering a speech and a plan that mostly looks like it could have been authored by Mitt Romney, John McCain and George W. Bush. By leading and dominating his speech and plan with calls for tax and regulatory cuts, Trump sounded like every Republican candidate for president since 1980. Make no mistake, more tax and regulatory cuts are exactly what this country needs. But you have to be very politically tone deaf not to notice that promoting those policies haven't really helped any Republican win the White House since 1988.

And there were other missed opportunities. By delivering this speech in Detroit, Trump could have recast himself as a Jack Kemp-style Republican who understands that income and corporate tax breaks are not how you start a conversation with poor minority voters stuck in Democratic Party-dominated urban regions where the only constant is neglect. Yes, Trump did talk very briefly about how the Democratic Party has presided over Detroit's devastation, but he never adequately explained how his tax-cutting plan would help.

Trump could have used his identity as the consummate New Yorker to talk about how Kemp's regulation and tax–relaxed "enterprise zones" helped turn around areas like Harlem.

Instead, there was no mention of enterprise zones at all. And Trump failed to include any personal stories at all in his speech and those kinds of narratives are crucial if you want to find some way to make cold economic data and plans resonate with the voters. He did talk briefly about how, as a New Yorker, he saw then-Senator Hillary Clinton's failed economic promises in the state. But that was too little and too late.

You have to ask what the point was of Trump using the national stage in Detroit to deliver an address that seemed to really be directed at traditional Republicans only. Yes, Trump probably wants to bring more of them back into the fold in the wake of so many GOP defections to Hillary Clinton lately. But even if Trump could get them all back, it still wouldn't be enough. His best chance to win has always been the risky-but-necessary creation of a new base of voters. And that's even though that strategy has predictably lost him the support of some GOP base voters and Republican elected leaders.

Almost every news media pundit is bashing the details of Trump's plan based on their same old left-leaning economic theories and dogma about tax cuts. Like every liberal critic since 1980, they're insisting Trump's plan will blow up the debt, the same debt they don't ever seem to care about when it's being blown up by out-of-control spending.

Compared to the current path any direction would be better. Wait till he has all the info he needs to make the required changes then bitch about what he is doing wrong. In order for you to determine he is wrong you must have a better plan so spit it out and we can have a laugh at your expense. (most likely)

The only thing missing is a dick in her mouth, lol. Do you have that on the 'big screen, ES?

All of the comments about Trump's economic plan are just that; opinions. Economists agree or disagree according to what party they ae supporting.
I don't see Clinton's plan much different than Trudeau's; hand out money we don't have and keep promising better things to come. But her (and Obama's) economic policies sure as hell haven't done anything for the country! How much worse could it get?

That is what you do to stimulate a depressed economy. If the 'good times return' it gets paid off. The big question is where to to throw the money so it has a beneficial return.

Trump's Proposed Supply-Side Reforms to Overhaul US Economy

The Trump-proposed plan addresses several key economic issues, currently preventing, in his vision, the US economy from performing better domestically and internationally.
First of all, the GOP candidate addressed the excessive and inadequate economic regulation, effectively staving off smaller businesses from more profitable operations, yet hardly preventing "too-big-to-fail" enterprises from their contributions to systemic risks in the broader economy.
Second, Trump's tax plan implies a major reduction in tax rates, with fiscal revenues expected to retreat slightly or remain at their current level in accordance with the Laffer curve concept.
"For many American workers, their tax rate will be zero," Trump said.
His tax proposals suggest simplified and unified approach to taxation, introducing three tax rates instead of the current seven — at 12 percent, 25 percent, and 33 percent. Minimum taxable income would be raised, allowing many working Americans to not pay taxes at all, resulting in a boost in consumption and inflation, spurring overall economic growth.
The "Trump fiscal stimulus" suggests lower corporate taxes, at 15 percent instead of the current 35 percent, aimed at helping corporate America cope with the plunge in revenues and positively affecting jobs creation.

Trump suggests assassinating Clinton

Trump Just Told His Supporters That Assassinating Hillary Clinton Is An Option

Donald Trump suggested that one of his supporters could shoot Hillary Clinton to stop her from picking Supreme Court justices if she is elected president.

Trump said, “By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although, the Second Amendment people maybe there is. I don’t know.”

Donald Trump’s defenders will immediately claim that he was “joking,” but Trump’s comments certainly didn’t sound like a joke. There was no laughter. Trump didn’t say he was kidding. What Donald Trump was doing was suggesting that someone assassinate Hillary Clinton.

Even if Trump was joking, no one, especially not a major party presidential nominee, should joke about a presidential candidate being shot. Trump could provoke an assassination attempt against Hillary Clinton.

What do you expect the man is unhinged at best
If he isn't careful he will get a visit from secret service
agents anyone they are protecting even Trump it is
illegal to suggest someone assassinate them.
Let us be clear Trump is not the mainstream Republican
Trump is an imposter who is about to destroy the Party
unless real conservatives sane ones say enough is enough
