Trump's stupidity is shinning bright for all to see.

Telling the Japanese to make the cars in the U.S., when the most popular cars, like the Camry and the Accord are made in the United States, shows everyone what a stupid person he is. If a leader is going to attack another country for business practices, he ought to find out if what he is going to say is true. In addition, Trump claims he is a great business person, but great business persons don't make up facts about other country's businesses. Finally, "great business persons" and great business apologize if errors are made. Therefore, Trumps utter stupidity is now well known by the Japanese. While Trump is there, they will shut up, but later it is likely we will hear a lot about this from their media.

came up to me in the parking lot, pointed to my Honda and said "you are putting Americans out of work". I told him to pop the hood on that truck, guess what I had to help him figure out how to do that, inside was an engine full of parts marked with Japanese and Korean marks. I popped the hood on my Honda and it had a note that it was made in America, in Ohio I think. He closed his hood and slithered away.

i've seen no evidence of his great business acumen.

my guess is that his great "business skill" lies in making sure that his deals have ways to screw everyone else.

he certainly is good at burning suppliers, partners, employees, creditors, etc....

has no idea the Camry and Accord are made in the US, and when told will claim that's fake news. They will cheer him on as if he is correct and nothing will change them.

triumphantly return to the US, point to all of the Japanese car manufacturing companies in the US, and claim credit for them. And the average moron who voted him will believe that 75% of Japanese cars are now manufactured here because Trump is such a good negotiator.

You know I'm right.

I doubt he has ever set foot in one in his entire life. Doesn’t excuse his utter ignorance of the fact that there are a number of HUGE plants here in the US that manufacture these (and other) brands. That is not to say a word about the jobs created by selling, maintaining and repairing these vehicles. With parts houses on every corner, there are a large number of people employed in that sector alone. Carrying the idea a bit further, Americans spend huge sums of money on accessories and cleaning their vehicles. Take a look some time when you are out riding in your limo, tRump, to see how many American made and maintained “foreign” cars there are on the road!

tRump has lived a pretty sheltered (and privileged) life. But he could open a book or just open his eyes once in a while. As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a maroon!”
