Trump Tweets Target Toyota - Is This Bullying Or Simply A Shot Across The Bow?
President-elect Donald Trump is turning his Twitter ire to Toyota Motor Corp., criticizing the Japanese manufacturer for planning to build Corollas for the U.S. market at a new plant in Mexico.

Trump tweeted Thursday: “Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax.”

The company fired back quickly that “production volume or employment in the U.S. will not decrease as a result of our new plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, announced in April 2015.”

He is a con....a very talented one. He studied Hitler/Mussolini and their repetitive chants.
Listen to the way he repeats stuff to brainwash people. Hillary, media, CIA, FBI, are all crooked. Everyone is crooked except the man running the con.
Little Marco, lying Ted ,crooked Hillary, crooked media, crazy Bernie, etc
Whatever the media reports people just ignore it because he already brainwashed you with "crooked" media.

Where are your taxes con man?
How much do you owe Russia/China?
Where is the unbelievable info your investigators found in Hawaii?
Did you pay the hard working contractors that did work for you yet?
Are you planning to open any new universities to rob the poor?
Are you still grabbing and raping cats?

If we go by Don logic should the Japanese/Germans be shutting down all the car factories in the USA?
Every foreign manufacturer in the USA should be shutting down.

Or is this a one way Don the Con street?

Silly snowflakes, Hillary lost. Either accept it or at least own the vapidness of your moral vanity. You really are hilarious to watch. As an antidote, you should get Milo's new book.

If my life is a mess, it a damned lucrative one filled with family, friends, and abundance. You still cannot comprehend that your attempts to insult me have literally zero impact on me and that I laugh at you for taking the bait every single time.

Time will tell but it is refreshing to have someone unafraid to put America's interests first, foremost and always. The world is in one fine mess and its time we took care of our own first...educate our kids, feed our poor, protect our citizens, provide health care to all at a reasonable cost, take care of our vets, reduce our national debt, etc etc. Every responsible parent knows you take care of your own first then you take care of others when you can. Let the haters hate but it is time to clean the swamp.

Sorry guys but I am with @MDarringer on this one. It's time to stop the whining and to suck it up like we did when Obama won. The difference is that some us didn't wanted Obama to fail. Sure, we all had our doubts about him but we were pleasantly surprised on SOME things. Lets give Trump the benefit of the doubt and see what happens. Like PUGPROUD stated "it is refreshing to have someone unafraid to put America's interests first, foremost and always". Plus have a spine unlike Obama.

There is a big difference between whining and pointing out the cons Trump is doing. For a soon-to-be leader of the free world, Trump is behaving like he's still in the backstage of his own show. He's still thinks like a private citizen who blurts out ill-constructed thoughts via Twitter. Almost all his tweets are based on little facts without deliberation - all of which have been easily refuted.

Soon to be a Commander-in-Chief who is ultimately responsible for the security and safety of the country, and perhaps the free world, Trump already publicly undermined the US military and intelligence agencies - the same people who he will lead, and publicly taken side with Putin, the ex KGB boss. He is entitled to his criticism, but all discussions should be done behind closed doors rather than on Twitter.

For someone who brags about his experience in international business dealing, Trump shows his ignorance in his threats about "big border tax" and trade wars. If anyone thinks trade war is good for the US should pause and think hard of the consequences.

For Trump and his rich cronies, wars don't affect them, but for the normal folks trade wars can benefit some sectors while destroying others. The sectors to be affected: agriculture and consumer goods. The people to be affected most are the same ones who vote for Trump in the first place. That's why I maintain that Trump is a con man.

Back on topic, Toyota has been the leader in bringing auto production back to the US. They are really behind in establishing Mexican production with just one plant. GM 4, Ford 3, Chrysler 3.

MDarringer - you suck on your rich father-in-law's dick so that you get a "stake" in his business. Now that's taking the phrase "loving family" to a new level.
