F47 has done well for himself in the first half of 2025. The rest of us not so much. bsky.app/profile/umai...

"The Trump Organization earned $802 million from crypto during the first half of 2025 (Reuters estimate). This overtook the family’s income from traditional businesses like real estate and licensing deals, which only made up $62 million in the same period." www.newsweek.com/how-much-don...

The most charitable interpretation of this is that our "real estate mogul" president thinks you can go from announcing plans to build a factory to construction in a matter of weeks

🤣😂🤣 Sure old geezer, sure thing. USA is rotting under your leadership, I mean under your thieving heist, & it’s on the same path that your casinos & every other Trump business took. America is dying as u rob it blind. It’s full of hate, abuse, starvation, fear, unaffordability & lies that u created.

Which “auto plants are pouring back into our country”? How long do we have to “Wait”? How many and what types of jobs are “coming with them”? Which auto manufacturers have “auto plants” that are “under construction” and where are they? so much dogshit.

Legacy Media's problem is that they're still waiting for this imbecile to actually tell them outright that he's incompetant & really needs to be wrenched the fuck out of power yesterday for fucks sake & he's never gonna do that of course & so they will never figure that out.

Who has the numbers? How many are really under contruction? We know of one, because that's the one Trump's ICE army deported a couple of hundred workers from who were necessary to get the plant started. But are there any more? Anywhere?

Nope, they’re laying off workers and major projects have been cancelled. A 63 billion dollar semiconductor complex that was going to be built near Flint, Michigan got scrapped by Sandisk because of Diarrhea Don’s economic turmoil. The project was expected to bring 10,000 jobs to the Flint area.

LOL! The time, resource, and capital expenditure required to move manufacturing to the US is so high that most companies will be far more likely to try to cut costs (read layoffs) and wait out this administration for 3 more years.

Not to mention, that even if they do move to domestic production, guess what happens to prices for consumers versus tariffed goods? NOTHING! They will charge just as much and pocket any difference!

Just wait. It's coming. I promise. Only a few more months, er years (ok, possibly decades) of suffering. Big beautiful auto plants manufacturing only the best big gas guzzlers that no one wants to buy anymore. And those jobs will go to foreign VISA holders, cuz Americans are not that talented.

Some auto manufacturers are moving operations around within the US while others are re-tooling or upgrading existing facilities. Once again, Trump just invents a lie to hide his failures.

How long does it take to build an auto plant, weeks, months, more like years I would guess. By the time they are ready to go, the market for "American" cars will be dead and European and Asian vehicles will be the only ones people will be buying, and the quality will be better. Just saying...

Trump is the quintessential Sylvester McMonkey McBean. We suppose that's kind of fitting, since way too many USAians are equally quintessential unenlightened Sneetches.

GM’s 2025 capital spending guidance is unchanged at between $10 billion and $11 billion. unchanged. It’s not him, businesses plan this shit our years in advance. But there is never any question by any reporter on the how full of shit are you question. Ugh
