How are Trump’s proposed tariffs threatening US auto manufacturers?
So now Donald Trump is tanking the US auto industry shares and the big auto manufacturers are down significantly on the threat of the Trump tariffs, 25% on Mexico and Canada and additional 10% on China. that Trump says will be imposed on day one. This post stood out to me. So here's the sequence of events, I guess, of the white autoworker Trump voter. Be a white autoworker. Have Democrats help secure historic contracts for you. Have Trump say your job could be done by children and that you're picketing for the wrong reasons. You vote for Trump. You get promised Trump tariffs, which he lies to you and claims is a tax on the foreign country, which it's not. You lose your job and historic pension benefits.
The headline there was General Motors shares extend their decline to about 7.9%. So Donald Trump threatened tariffs, and then Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, threatened retaliatory tariffs. And in her letter to Donald Trump, she pointed out that General Motors and other major U.S. auto manufacturers threatened have major factories in Mexico. And so you're only going to be screwing your own companies. We'll get to more of that in a moment. We also have a bunch of things happening right now. So number one, it's the Trump tariffs and retaliatory tariffs threatened by Mexico. potentially Canada and China as well. You also have, and we reported on this earlier as well, the oil tycoons who supported Donald Trump when they were saying drill, baby, drill.
Well, they've now confessed that actually the supply of oil actually exceeds the demand. And as we had previously reported under the Biden administration, There was more oil production than ever in the history of the United States, and we were energy independent. And also from a geological perspective, we pretty much have searched most of the areas where you can drill baby drills.
What impact could Mexico’s retaliatory tariffs have on American car factories?
So all of this claim, there are going to be millions of more barrels that are going to be extracted each day was always a lie but here's now what the oil companies want to do they want to make sure that donald trump kills the electric vehicle industry kill all evs kill any kind of tax rebate programs just kill evs why because you can then artificially, in their view, inflate the demand for oil to match the supply, and they can make record profits if you take away the future of automobiles, which is EV. And so many of the new manufacturing plants that we've seen pop up in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, elsewhere have been based on the growth of EV in America leading the world in that. So you see General Motors shares down as well.
You see Stellantis shares down as well. So what I just referenced over here, Trump throwing American auto workers under the bus already and why. Harold Hamm, an oil billionaire, has been discussing the 7,500 credit with Trump transition team. The growth of electric vehicles poses a threat to the oil and gas industry. And even though there's been more, again, oil drilling under Biden than in the history of the United States and far more than under the first Trump administration, They want Congress to repeal the 7,500 electric vehicle tax credit. Here, Steve Ratner reports, researchers estimate that if Trump succeeds in repealing the electric vehicle tax credits, e-vehicle sales could drop 27%, a major disruption to the American auto industry, which has invested heavily in the switch to electric, which also meant more jobs.
America was leading the world in that. There's another article right here. Three auto stocks sliding on Trump tariff concerns. Shares of Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis are all moving lower today. So all of those kind of Trump autoworkers, and I know a lot of people were wearing like the fake autoworker shirts, but a lot of autoworkers voted for Donald Trump against their interests, against their union, against their own contracts. you're likely going to be laid off, a higher probability of being laid off. And also, any idea that you're going to get protection from the National Labor Relations Board, the NLRB,
