Trump tells Japan to build cars in US instead of shipping them over

[Snake Plissken]

"Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over,” Trump said at an event with Japanese business executives, according to a pool report.

“That's not rude?” he added.

Trump has no clue that three out of every four Japanese brand cars sold in North America were manufactured on the continent, none whatsoever

1. OMGosh! I don't know what's more embarrassing - him or the rubes who voted for him!

[world wide wally]

4. The ones who voted for him

[Greywing]

2. Absolutely incredible

He's absolutely clueless ... Just so stupid, it's unbelievable.

[joshcryer]

3. He won't be called out on this idiocy.

And a few weeks from now he can tweet "Japan making cars in America! I said they should! MAGA!"

5. He's an ignorant moron

Of all the times I've used such an expression, it's never fit so perfectly until now.

6. I have a bunch of friends in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka , Sabae, etc. They are ALL laughing at him.

7. ignorant trash

10. Exactly, instead of taking a few hours on the flight over to educate himself on the topics

he will be discussing, he use the time to troll about nonsense on twitter, he's a total fuckup.

I don't know anyone wouldn't have fired him already if he was reporting to them .

9. After a short interval, the Japanese automakers will tell him they followed his command . . .

then demand a quid pro quo in exchange for bringing production over here -- tax breaks, or environmental regulations relaxed-- and the Dotard will be only too happy to reward them for doing what they were doing all along.

Senility, and just run-of-the-mill stupidity, provides a lot of opportunities to those who know how to capitalize on it.
