Auto Executives Not Sure How To Handle A President That Holds Them Publicly Accountable On Social Media

Keep giving Trump credit for things he doesn't deserve credit for...see where that gets you. Meanwhile both Trump and his daughter continue to have all the garbage merchandise they sell here in America made in China, Vietnam, India, Pakistan and wherever else they can get cheap child labor to enrich their own pocketbooks, and the Rightwingers keep falling for his hypocritical rhetoric/lies. That says as much about you as it does about him...

Let the haters hate. Now regarding Audi...keep your head down, fingers off Twitter and do the right thing. Don't fight back, you can't win on social media...too many sociopaths living in their mothers' basements.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Either you pay more for American or save more on foreign. With what cars cost these days, increasing car loan debt and the minimal increase to real wages, paying more for American isn't reasonable. It's a rob Peter to pay Paul scenario.

I don't think social media has much influence on actual car sales, if any influence at all. OK maybe some...that's on a relatively small % of luxury & ultra-luxury vehicles that maybe 5%-10% of consumers can actually afford anyway.

The "yuge" problem here is that Pres Trump still thinks he is spectacular salesman. When - in reality - his personal endorsement or disapproval of various companies carry very little weight. Most companies don't want to be pulled into so BS argument via social media over plans they've always had & about what best benefits them b/c they answer to their shareholders ultimately.

Trump just "times" his public comments - in such a way - that it seems like he is fiercely influential across various industries.

That's what the Democrats and the establishment fear.Trump takes issues to the people which is a much quicker way of getting what he wants. I think it's brilliant.
