Industry insiders agree with former President Donald Trump’s suggestion that China is looking to annihilate American auto manufacturing on President Joe Biden’s watch.

During a speech in Ohio on Saturday, Trump warned Chinese President Xi Jinping that if he is reelected in November, China’s premier automakers will not be allowed to export their cheap Electric Vehicles (EVs) to the United States market without facing massive tariffs.

Most recently, reports circulated that China’s BYD is planning to build EV plants in Mexico to export the cars to the United States at low prices — thus drowning American-made competitors and dominating the EV market.

Trump said Biden’s allowing China to do so would be a “bloodbath” for American auto workers.

“Let me tell you something to China, if you’re listening President Xi — and you and I are friends but he understands the way I deal — those big, monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that and you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no,” Trump said:

We’re going to put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole, that’s going to be the least of it, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country; that’s going to be the least of it.

In January, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said if the U.S. does not hit China’s EVs with huge tariffs, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will have “pretty much delomish[ed]” the American auto industry.

“The Chinese car companies are the most competitive car companies in the world … so, I think they will have significant success outside of China depending on what kind of tariffs or trade barriers are established,” Musk said on a Tesla earnings call:

Frankly, I think, if there are not trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other companies in the world.

In February the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) issued a report detailing an “extinction-level event” for American auto workers should Biden allow China to export cheap EVs to the U.S. market.

“The introduction of cheap Chinese autos — which are so inexpensive because they are backed with the power and funding of the Chinese government — to the American market could end up being an extinction-level event for the U.S. auto sector, whose centrality in the national economy is unimpeachable,” AAM experts write:

More alarming, however, are Chinese firms’ heavy spending on plants in Mexico, through which they can access the United States by way of the more favorable tariffs under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). This strategy is, in effect, an effort to gain backdoor access to American consumers by circumventing existing policies that are keeping China’s autos out of the U.S. market.

This is an auto industry backed by the Chinese state. It has invested heavily in foreign markets in order to access more of them. And there is cause for alarm that Chinese vehicles and parts will only increase their access to the U.S. market, overcoming existing tariffs and evading existing trade enforcement measures, to directly challenge domestic automakers and threaten the jobs of millions of American manufacturing workers.

Please read the following carefully and commit it to memory:

For many years in this forum, it has been a firm, non-negotiable policy that commenting on the personal appearance of others is strictly forbidden. Is that clear to you?

Under no circumstances should you make remarks such as you have this evening, ever, no exceptions.

It is the easiest thing in the world to make such remarks; so easy, in fact, that children can do it. It is mindless and it is juvenile, and I will not tolerate it, and the fact that you have twelve years and 4000 posts here and yet you do not know this, is somewhat astonishing.

Restrict your comments to the things which are important- the words and actions of a person. Conduct yourself as an adult. Be polite. Be mature.

I want you, please, to respond and tell me you comprehend what I've told you and that you will comply. I'm not interested in any opinions, such as anyone thinking this policy is silly or unnecessary. As I said, this policy is non-negotiable, and those who do not adhere to this policy are subject to disciplinary action, and now that I have explained this policy to you, you will have no excuse to violate it in the future.

Is all of this clear to you?

Yes, I understand.

Nothing borderline here. We have been dealing with pure, bold, in-your-face evil from the Left since 2008.

To be such an astute investor, it's amazing that he's at least 4 years late to the party on this.

What's the hive's take on his NY so-called "fraud" case where the state is preparing to seize his assets?

Tony.

I saw a bit ago that the judge in the Fani et.al case has allowed Trump and others to appeal his decision........good call. He knows he was wrong in his decision, and this is one way of making it right.

He was probably counting on it. That way he doesn't have to make the call and his hands are "clean". He is up for re-election.

You may well be 100% correct.

I posted here for about a decade, but I haven't posted in a few years because of serious illness, which continues. But I have to post in these critical days to tell you how it strengthens me to read the posts here, especially on this thread. I would add to Parabellum's quotation from Milton, a very ancient Sanskrit proverb. "Satya mai vijaiate."

Truth alone triumphs.

Welcome back justjoe.

Here is Scott Adams offering his services to Trump.

In addition to that, he needs to go medieval on everyone that has tried to railroad him

Politicians, lawyers, judges

Everyone

Give no quarter, accept no excuses.

I’d be happy to see Scott Adams fill that cabinet slot, but sdy would be a strong contender.

Clearly the judge is partisan. The prosecution is likewise politically motivated.

The judge's declaration that Trump fraudulently inflated the value of his real estate is deeply flawed. The judge's own assessment is so out of whack that it proves he doesn't hav3 5he capacity to pass such judgement.

The NY law says a person must pist bond for the entire judgement before being allowed to appeal. I think this will be found unConstitutional. The big question is will the NY DA take possession of Trump's assets before an appeal can be made.

Incredibly, it seems the NY DA might be able to seize out of state assets like Mar A Lago.

How is it not an 8th Amendment violation?

Not that the commies give two shits about the Constitution...

Barron Trump 'Fair Game' Comment Enrages Republicans

https://www.newsweek.com/barro...-republicans-1881343

Republicans voiced their outrage after former NBC senior executive Mike Sington said that former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron, was now "fair game" on his 18th birthday.

Barron, the former president's and former first lady Melania Trump's only child together, turned 18 on Wednesday. Barron has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part as his father campaigns for president. While Trump and his adult children from his previous marriages have been under fire in the press and online on several occasions, Barron has avoided such criticism.

In a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, Sington on Wednesday posted a photo of Trump and Barron, writing: "Barron Trump turns 18 today. He's fair game now."
