It was not meant to be literal. But I'm simply illustrating that it is no laughing matter. Trump and Trudeau have both condemned the move....and they are a lot further up the pecking-order than I am.
Perhaps I did overdo it a little in the image-department. I changed the thread-title and removed the images you find objectionable......but my basic opinion still stands.

Sorry not even Trump himself can bring back your Buick. GM was mismanaged among other factors they are simply restructuring like any other business. Trump of all people as a business man should understand. Many that supported him will lose their jobs and I'm sure this concerns him but this is business.

Ford also sems to be playing a role in it.....and they also stirred up a Hornet's nest, but not quite to Trump and Trudeau's level.

. Most of my friends and colleagues aren't into SUVs either.....they like big Buick, Lincoln, and Caddy sedans, too. And, no, they aren't all waiting (and driving) around with one foot in the grave, either. Trump may or may not be able to reverse Mary Barra's decision, but also keep one thing in mind.....the Presidential term "Bully Pulpit" did not just come out of nowhere. When the President shames someone and makes them look like a fool in public, that can have a powerful effect.

It isn't just "my" Buick. I'm not a selfish person......I'm not thinking just of myself (if I was, I wouldn't post in Car Chat) . Most of my friends and colleagues aren't into SUVs either.....they like big Buick, Lincoln, and Caddy sedans, too. And, no, they aren't all waiting (and driving) around with one foot in the grave, either.

Bully Puplit? Ok so Trump shames Mary Barra (and the board) decision she didn't do it by herself then what she runs and hides ashamed for trying to save GM?
Have you ever managed a department budget or any sort of business budget outside of your personal one?

How can a sitting President reverse the decision of a private company ok let's play your game he asks GM to give back the bail out money, what else can he do? Executive Order? Have congress create a bill forcing GM to keep plants open? I'm open to hear what your suggestions are.

This will be the last thread I do on the subject....unless the policy is reversed. The whole issue has me so completely disgusted that I do not enjoy talking about it. It is depressing.
You also started one thread on this subject on your own.
