Trump made really good on his promise to bring manufacturing back to the midwest by introducing tariffs that led to 5 plant closures. Think for a second if your business was unexpectedly hit with costs, you would look for someone to blame. In your case, you would blame the government. In the case of GM, you blame the company.

T might just be the right person here - he is, after all, experienced with businesses in bankruptcy (or at least his lawyers and accountants are).

GW Bush did.

Obama deserves a lot of credit for finishing the job that Bush and his Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, had started. He stood with the auto companies, which were victims of extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. As the price of the bailout, he also insisted on some changes at G.M., including the installation of new leadership and the elimination of several brands.

But that hardly justifies writing Bush and Paulson out of history, which is what the Obama campaign appears to be doing—in Biden’s speech and in “The Road We’ve Traveled,” a glossy new documentary about Obama’s tenure by Davis Guggenheim, the maker of “An Inconvenient Truth,” which the campaign released on Thursday. Biden didn’t mention Bush’s role at all, and Guggenheim’s film reduced it to one sentence: “The Bush Administration had given the car companies thirteen billion dollars, and the money was now gone.”

He is going to look up what he means. He doesn’t seem to live a life with budgets and an economy. He just reads shit and spouts it...almost all either outright wrong or having no application to the real world. It’s awesome to behold.

I used to think he had useful things to say about economics until he exposed his weakness with simple arithmetic.

Spouting sounds about right.
 
Trump, the master negotiator, was great at doing real estate deals when they involved only his failed businesses and those of his family. Nothing to lose but his own money. And we know now that he was a failure, he cooked the books, he lived on loses and did whatever he possibly could to exploit the American system. Whereas most people play by the rules, he didn't, and he lied his way through years of shady deals and convinced less than 50% of the American people to believe that he was anything but a failed businessman who talked tough but never produced anything. Now, faced with a real adversary, China, he's looking to take down the entire American system while his party and loyal fanatic followers enable him through a failed trade war. Hey, if you grow garlic, you win because there is now a tariff on Chinese garlic. If you grow almonds, you lose, because China slapped a tariff on exported almonds. What was once a great country who spoke with the same voice, whenever it could, the American system is now made up of winners and losers like never before. Any rational government would think through a trade war and understand, implicitly, that every war has two sides. Under Trump, there is no 2 sides to any story. It's whatever he says and his followers and party follow along blindly. Based on this thinking, we have already lost, because we didn't understand our adversary, and Trump isn't smart enough to understand that if there are some losers then we all lose. Don't get me wrong, American has its faults, but when we embark on diplomatic tactics, it's the exception that loses, not the majority. This is what is different under Trump. He does not care who loses, and those around him are too scared to tell him otherwise. Do you really get up in the morning, look out the window, and hope your neighbor is worse off than before? That is the gist of the trade war that Trump is creating to bring down the American system. If it doesn't affect me, I don't care. That is a Trump supporter through and through, never more evident than now. Trump is laying the groundwork to shred this country, and his supporters and are allowing him to do it.

Funny how you guys ignore ali baba and his 535 thieves when they allowed the Fed to nearly double the national debt with 6 consecutive years of tax payer funded QE. Spare us the Trump trinkets compared to your elected thieves.
