Chinese Automaker Trumpchi May Change Name Before Entering US Market To Avoid Confusing Liberals

When Chinese automaker GAC Motor was preparing to enter the United States market it foresaw challenges in product localization and regulation, but didn't see any issue with the name of its flagship brand, Trumpchi.

Executives at the firm and its parent Guangzhou Automobile Group (601238.SS) say they may now change the Trumpchi brand - which was meant to sound like its Chinese name Chuanqi, which is a play on the word "legendary" and means passing good fortune - after it drew some ridicule at the Detroit auto show in January.

How would this confuse liberals? Something with the Trump name on it made in China is not new.
Skip the political commentary and keep to cars.

I agree

Anything with the name TRUMP on it has "Bankrupcy" written all over it - BUT - the real reason - is that the name could not get "Trademark" status in the usa.

Even the Chinese knows the left in the US has lost their minds. Someday the folks pushing this resistance movement will realize they are only hurting their chances at the ballot box with the non-stop confrontation and negativity.

"Non stop confrontation and negativity" ? Really? Sounds a LOT like the GOP during the Obama years, when they went completely nuts and racist.

Regardless of the President of the same name, this is a terible name.

You dimwits down voting me realize the company that owns Trumpchi is GAC, right? Three easy to pronounce letters. Simple.

The idiot Sergio should have sold to GAC while GAC was interested.
