Japanese Automakers Don't Think That Domination Of The US Market Is A Threat To National Security

President Trump announced a security investigation into auto imports last week, tasking Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross with the job. His goal will be to determine what effects imported vehicles have on the national security of the United States under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 — which sounds like a monumental and rather complex task.

Basically, Ross will examine whether or not the U.S. can get away with escalating automotive tariffs. That’s a touchy subject, considering how contentious global trade has become in recent months. Worse yet, the 80-year-old commerce secretary will have to continue promoting American businesses and industries outside its borders while deciding on an issue few trade partners will be happy with.

Automakers aren’t thrilled either. After Trump announced the investigation, the Association of Global Automakers and Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers both said they didn’t believe vehicle imports posed a national security risk. “To our knowledge, no one is asking for this protection. If these tariffs are imposed, consumers are going to take a big hit,” said John Bozella, President of Global Automakers, in a statement. “This course of action will undermine the health and competitiveness of the U.S. auto industry.”

What about that software that allows the Japanese government to simply bring all Japanese cars to a halt on their orders? (What - you don't think it is there - sure - and they will never bomb Pearl Harbor either)

The US President is just as bat-sh*t crazy as Roseanne Barr.

Why am I not surprised that you're a racist?

@fiftysix The Alt-Left Antifa like runninglogan1 are incapable of understanding racism because they think Liberals are incapable of racism. They say racist things like "Insulting your orange master isn't racism. Truth is you're just a mindless parrot repeating alt-right talking points." but they say that isn't racism, or hate speech, or bigotry, or intolerance because they are the Alt-Left and they know better.

@runninglogan1 when fiftysix prompted "Tell us what was "racist" about Roseann's tweet..." and you replied "Seriously? I'm not going to explain it to you. Get some help"...

...psychologically you had to have thought the planet of the apes comment was a comment on race, so YOU brought the racist context into your thoughts and blamed someone else rather than realizing you're the racist.

Ask someone with multiple degrees in psychology for confirmation.

You're incapable of realizing that the apes on the planet were not that intelligent and THAT was the real context.

So it's OK for liberals to say racist things right and left, but if a conservative does it, it's bad? #hypocrisy

@MD Calling anyone completely crazy from their past statements and actions is not racism. However, insulting someone and making fun of someone for the way they look due to their race is. I know you know the difference. As well with @56 applauding the racist post by Roseanne Barr is pretty much par for the course for the far right Trump clan on this site. This too shall pass. At the end of his single term and the election of a new president, all the dark forces that have come out into the light spurred on by his racist and hateful comments will go back to the shadows where they belong.

Typical moronic alt-right response. Care to give a couple of examples of liberals saying racist things and everyone was okay with it? I mean it happens right and left. Isn't that right? And I don't want to hear about Bill Maher. He's no liberal and he's gotten plenty of blowback.

@CANADIANCOMMENTS + @runninglogan1...

Read the following quote:
_____

"Donald Trump, champion and avatar of the shallow state, has won power because his supporters are threatened by what they don't understand, and what they don't understand is almost everything. Indeed, from evolution to data about our economy to the science of vaccines to the threats we face in the world, they reject vast subjects rooted in fact in order to have reality conform to their worldviews. They don't dig for truth; they skim the media for anything that makes them feel better about themselves. To many of them, knowledge is not a useful tool but a cunning barrier elites have created to keep power from the average man and woman."

- David Rothkopf
Professor of International Relations and Political Science

Once you understand this, you'll realize there's no point in brining facts to a torrent of uninformed opinion and derision from the "Daffies". I've finally resigned myself to this fact: Ya can't talk sense to nonsensical people :-/ So why try?

I've recently chosen to stop feeding the trolls. Consider letting them squabble amongst themselves, rather than fuelling their hateful, racist fury.

Once again TheSteve is a hypocrite.

On one hand he says "I've recently chosen to stop feeding the trolls. Consider letting them squabble amongst themselves, rather than fuelling their hateful, racist fury."

And on the other he reposts an old essay of his that he keeps reposting.

TheSteve if you're not going to feed the trolls then don't tag Canadiancomments and runninglogan1 with what you want them to read.

@MD - There has never been a protest to what these people have said because they don't make racist hateful statements. It is that simple. And putting Michelle Obama on that list, really? Jeepers. Just admit you can't handle your guy Trump for being criticized for ANYTHING. No matter how badly he deserves it. Even today he made the Roseanne Barr Tweet issue about himself vs standing up strongly against racism.

Liberal hypocrisy proven: "There has never been a protest to what these people have said because they don't make racist hateful statements."

#double standard

To recap: Calling Trump an "orangutan" is perfectly OK, but suggesting that Valerie Jarret is from the planet of the apes is deeply racist.

Still waiting troll. Insulting your orange master isn't racism. Truth is you're just a mindless parrot repeating alt-right talking points. Boring.

@MD. Ok. I will explain it. Calling Trump and Orange whatever is A) A fat joke, B) A comment on his makeup which from time to time is really orange. Or it is a spray tan. Nobody seems to know. B) When you say someone who is black is the product of The Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes, its racism because it is about their race, about religion and the way they normally look (genetics). Black people have been compared to apes before and even Tom Arnold Roseanne's ex-husband was on CNN stating she has made this reference before. Now you know. If you still have trouble with this ask your Pastor to explain it to you the next time you go to mass.
