    Price list is in the link with spec's and features.
    Most of you may know by now that Trump was referencing China's investment in BYD factories in Mexico. The government funds the capital for projects like this. We do not have our taxpayers fund Ford, etc.
    What we send south, China will because they are cheaper and will write the loans. This could be called will be a Bloodbath by people who look years ahead tying to give America a future.
    Do you feel it is in America's interest to let the US auto industry collapse? If so, would this loss of industrial capacity qualify as a bloodbath?

    Ford and GM allowed the vehicle manufacturing industry in Australia to collapse.

    The UAW endorsed Biden, and I believe Biden will protect UAW jobs if he gets elected, thus, for said reason, there will be no bloodbath.

    Without another election to win after 2024, Biden has no incentive to do anything except for fulfilling the objectives of his handlers.

    Isn't the RW telling us that EVs are not competitive and won't work? And, now, we are supposed to believe that cheap, Chinese EVs will be eating American ICE cars for lunch? Which one is it?

    Or, maybe, instead of staying with the old, America could invest in the future of clean transportation, instead of leaving the future to China?

    Regardless who gets elected, Trump or Biden, there will be no bloodbath.

    Could be, but part of the rant was "If Biden wins, there will be a bloodbath". Trump often has trouble articulating. My theory is that this was a Freudian slip. Trump is such a narcissist, that he truly believes that the White Supremacist groups will all be biting at the bit to go to jail for him again. I think this time you'll see a quiet transition, with a sore loser denier. And Trump will fade off into the oblivion.

    definition: FREUDIAN SLIP is a verbal or memory mistake linked to the unconscious mind. Also known as parapraxis, these slips supposedly reveal secret thoughts and feelings that people hold.

    If you happen to be a history professor, perhaps you could tell us the last time we had a bloodbath over a trade dispute.

    This is different. China is not expecting to compete with us, they expect to wipe out our auto industry. Compare prices and features to US cars. The government will be making the loans.
    Beyond that losing the expertise to design, build, and engineer is a huge loss.
    Trump is talking a 100% tariff. Jotato is silent.

    The question should be why is Biden protecting China? He protected their solar panel industry which harmed ours, and now he's protecting their cars*. China is hacking the crap out of our government and corporations and Biden does nothing. China has police stations in this country and Biden does nothing. Biden said he told Xi to stop exporting the precursors of fentanyl to Mexico - has anyone seen a drop in fentanyl deaths?

    *I can already predict the response I will get from FA.

    I oppose doing business with China because they'll Poison their own children with plastic rice to save a buck.
    Electric cars are filthy. China doesn't give a **** about being green. The past is China.

    Correction; China wants to dominate the EV industry, and BYD is the company that is looking for a site in Mexico.

    He's so protective of China that the tariffs imposed by Trump haven't even been removed since 2020.

    Also, so shocking, imports of goods from China to the US have declined since Biden took office.

    I guess FAUX news didn't report Biden saying "Not on my Watch", referring to China policy.

    Biden says a lot of things, things like Trump's bloodbath quote which is a total lie. If you believe Biden, then you believe the border is secure, the Afghanistan withdrawal was a success and that he was arrested in So Africa.

    The border problem for the rest of 2024 is Trump's fault. He buried the Bipartisan Senate bill, which was the most comprehensive immigration bill in US history. Fentanyl on Trump. Illegal immigrants on Trump. Regarding the bloodbath, nobody can deny what Trump said. I happen to think it was a Freudian slip. He's a narcissist, and he thinks that his White Supremacist groups will once again beckon to his call when he loses to Biden. I think they've learned their lesson. It will be peaceful, not at all like Trumps inner thoughts.

    BYD, do tell. From Feb 28, 2024

    https://www.thedrive.com/news/chinas-byd-doesnt-plan-to-enter-the-us-market-at-least-not-yet

    "We're not planning to come to the U.S.," Li told Yahoo! Finance. "It's an interesting market, but it is very complicated."
    "We're not even considering any northern state [in Mexico]. We are targeting the local market. That is the BYD strategy."

    Looks like Biden's "Not on my Watch" message is working! So all this incoherent bloodbath babble by the ex-president was just that -Bloodbath Babble.

    Trump blood violence. News told me. Trump bad. You bad.
    *triggered shriek*

    Seriously tho, no one seems to be in the dark anymore about our lack of manufacturing and dependence on poorer nations for it being a bad thing. I suspect they just dont want Trump to be the only one willing to do anything about it. But too bad, so far he is.

    My information comes from Sen. James Lankford (R-OK). He mouthed "That's true" when Biden discussed the Bipartisan Senate Immigration bill, and how Trump killed it. Don't believe me. Look it up. Hint: I couldn't find it on FAUX News. There is also a video of Lankford mentioning that Trump called him, before the contents of the bill was even known, and told Lankford, "I will destroy you, if you pass a border bill before the election."

    Links to the Lankford videos are in this thread --- http://www.politicalforum.com/index...4-trump-responsible-for-border-crisis.617441/

    I didn't say anything about White Supremacists swinging an election. Isn't it obvious, if Trump is talking about a "Bloodbath", that he will summon White Supremacist thug army, like he did on 1/6? That's the nature of what I describe as a Freudian slip. Definition: A Freudian slip is a verbal or memory mistake linked to the unconscious mind. Also known as parapraxis, these slips supposedly reveal secret thoughts and feelings that people hold.

    You didn't need an immigration bill we needed to deport illegals. That's not immigration that's criminal behavior. A lot of the times it's human trafficking.

    Once we get that under control then we can talk about immigration.

    But immigrant is a legal status not an illegal status.
