Blame electric cars and GM.

Maybe if he hadn't spouted so much BS about saving and bringing these jobs back, his name wouldn't come up.

SCORN THE NAME: Trump!!

Plenty of blame to go around

This is easy - blame the Republicans Tax Scam. An expert testified the tax bill incentivised corps to outsource production overseas and keep profits out of US.

It was strictly a business decision. Isn't that an example how capitalism is based on?

The American taxpayers bailed them out and GM moves all the taxpayers jobs to Mexico and China. What a great company 👍

TRUMAN: The buck stops here. TRUMP: Did anyone lose a dollar? Anyone?!

Do you drive a GM sedan? Case closed.

It looks like both Ford & GM are leaving sedans to the foreign car makers and moving to something else. And it’s GOP as a team causing all of this craziness in businesses.

Adam Smith? Capitalism includes destruction and construction. We should be compassionate for jobs lost but also be grateful that the unemployment rate below 5% in all these states makes getting another job easier. Is there an expectation that plants never close ever?

Blame bad cars if you want but Trump promised it wouldn’t happen

Is there any blame? realDonaldTrump promised that he'd bring back jobs,not 1 plant would close. GM promised that they'd act in the best interests of their shareholders.Trump knew he couldn't deliver on that promise&shame on anyone who voted for him b'cuz of it. GM is delivering

Trump running this country like Trump university

This is not difficult. Blame GM car designers. They made a product people don't want. So when people don't buy something, you stop making it. Duh.

Nah, blame both as they are definitely both to blame

Or maybe blame both because the stupid tariffs did not help

I’ll blame them both thx

Let me guess... Obama or Hillary?

I blame trump for blowing his usual smoke because he doesn't know anything. I blame his supporters who work at gm for voting for him. I blame GM, ultimately, for closing the plants despite spending billions in buybacks the last 5 years.

No. Blame me!

Aaah hmmmm, let's see, maybe dotard and republican policy? Oh wait it must be the democrats fault.

Did anyone read the GOP tax bill that Trump signed? There is explicit incentives that encourage manufacturers to locate businesses offshore! If you don’t want to blame trump, blame the GOP controlled Congress. You know, the other equal branch of government.

TestDailyNews1 Circular. GM blames Trump treaties for costing shareholders $1 Billion plus in profits this year. Trump says it's not fair for GM to close plants making cars that are not selling. In a free market these things are done to slow the bleeding.

Yes, Trump should be blamed! That 1.5 trillion give away in tax breaks to the rich did not increase their desire to let it “trickle” down, they went about gorging on buybacks of their stock and giving obscene bonus to their shareholders. Now it’s lay off the worker time!

People blame Trump for Thanksgiving traffic... people really need to get out of their reactive brain and think for a change. It’s not pleasant to talk to screaming Democrats these days.

BS

I blame Trump for making promises he knew he would not / could not keep. Can I do that?

Screw off. its directly Trumps fault whether he's responsible or not

Just traded my GM for a Ford

Part of Trumps campaign promise was keeping jobs here and bringing many back. If he made big promises why not blame him. He isn’t following thru. He sure as heck would take credit if it were the opposite.

Bullshit. He owns this because he said so. And I quote: 'If I'm elected, you wont lose one plant, you'll have plants coming into this country, you're going to have jobs again, you won't lose one plant. I promise you. I promise you.' - Donald J. Trump

That would be our idiot president.

No blame Trump

Trump and his administration

Blame the resistance. The current head of GM was on Hillary's short list for vice president. The left has shown time and again they are willing to destroy this country in order to prevent Trump from doing his job.
