Ford is planning to lay off '24,000 staff' globally after it was revealed Trump's tariffs cost the U.S. car giant almost $1BILLION

And see how the media manipulates how you see things?

Maybe for once you should think for yourself, instead of believing everything that is spoon fed to you.

Why Is Ford Doing This?

The move was a long time coming. As consumers in North America slowly choose trucks, SUVs, and crossover vehicles, interest in sedans and small cars has been dropping. Several factors are involved in this transition, a couple of which being that trucks and SUVs are often more fuel efficient and better in terms of safety ratings and ride quality.

This has been coming for a long time.

Yes, of course you and people you agree with are being reasonable and have the facts, while everyone who disagrees with you is blinded by hysteria. Very convenient.

I mean, what you're describing was perfectly exemplified by Temujin's absurd fingers-in-the-ears performance about Trump's clear hypocrisy on due process.

Same applies to you libtards. It's amazing how on topics you are right, the conservatives take part in the debate either way. When you libtards are wrong, you cry victim and take offence to being called libtards, which is exactly what you guys are :D

Read through the last 20+ pages and see who it is that's calling everyone that disagrees with them libtards all the time, and tell us more about how "educated people can't sit and debate something without having agendas".

Yes, and will keep on calling you liberals libtards. I'm sorry the word itself causes you to tilt to such an extent. Doesn't affect me in the least :p

The metals tariffs took about $1 billion in profit from us -- and the irony is we source most of that in the U.S. today anyways,” Hackett said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “If it goes on longer, there will be more damage.

You've been provided the evidence, you choose to ignore it, which you're allowed, of course. :)

You seem to also be very deceitful. But I can see why you guys would be. I mean you are wrong, so instead of admitting it, you claim to be right and misinterpret exactly what he said. And you wonder why you are being called libtards :o

Spending the money for the trip with the only goal being the walk-out PR stunt is an absurd waste of money. He deviated from his own itinerary at short notice to fly to the Colts game for it.

Wait, so you're 100% convinced it was a PR stunt? You were 100% guaranteed that there will be a protest? What if he didn't walk out, what would you claim then? The expense was paid, irrespective of him walking out or not, or there being a protest or not. Which again you libtards seem to be deceitful about.

The only thing left to complete the Pitbull triggering is to post pictures of people kneeling.

lol, you are pretty deluded if you think people kneeling bothers me :D

But then again, you don't part take in much debating. Only post crap remarks, I find them entertaining at least so you not completely wasting your time.

Hmm, doubtful, as Rupert Murdoch's empire owns almost all major media (print and broadcast) in Australia and NZ, a huge part of UK media, is broadcast globally, etc. CNN is also broadcast globally but they don't own publishing houses or news orgs.

But I was also meaning in terms of content itself, not just reach. CNN sucks (as does most cable news, because the business model sucks), but it doesn't come close to the depths of terribleness of Fox News.

i know what you mean, but by past experiences cnn just had a greater presence, all hotels and restaurants etc. had cnn, not so much fox, i have seen fox around more lately, after trumps "endorsement"

after seeing live and realising what cnn is doing, i dont think they are any better. maybe better at hiding it sure.

You need to get on the Bus...

Anything not good happening in the US is Trumps fault. Everything good happening is because of things Obama did... Libtard mentality right there :D

Well, if you could just point me to where I baselessly speculated on *why* she resigned, and not just posted that she *had* resigned as a statement of fact, I’ll happily engage with you. Mmkay?

How does that imply they don't want due process?

You're wasting your time. Heres a number for you... 39.
Thats the number of times I've asked that question in response to the various links and quotes... still waiting, just 'finger in ears' responses and crickets etc. No one is able to explain how they read 'hillary must go to jail with no due process' when quote says 'hillary must go to jail', or for example 'stop people at border from entering illegally' turns into 'immigrants must be deported without due process'. You'll get better response from your toe nail clippings

I've now resorted to just using the ignore button, people in this thread have their 'belief' and god forbid anyone ask a question that points out the bs in them and the 'articles'(which read as nothing more than opinion pieces) they post. Not worth the energy, its very clear their eyes are glued shut and they're full up on the kool-aid

To ALL the anti Trumpet's....or
...Libtards. The last monkey on the right is me contemplating your posts.
I cannot understand how you can obsessively post your biases against the US of A and Israel but post nothing against the idiotic ANC antics. LOL. I think you dream you are an American.

PS: I am white so calling mysef a monkey cannot be construed as being racist.

What is that then? Cultural appropriation?

That word is so sensitive to some specific groups I rather be safe than sorry.

Wonder why it is not sensor'ed from social media to save innocent people from themselves.
