Former President Donald Trump, flanked by two John Deere tractors, said Monday that if the company moves manufacturing to Mexico, he will impose a 200-percent tariff on the products it imports to the United States.
Trump’s pledge to protect American manufacturing jobs came during a roundtable in Smithton, Pennsylvania, with farmers, former Acting Director of National Security Ric Grenell, Republican Pennsylvania Senate nominee Dave McCormick, and former U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).
“I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors. I know a lot about John Deere. I love the company, but, as you know, they’ve announced a few days ago that they’re going to move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico,” Trump said.
“I’m just notifying John Deere right now: If you do that, we’re putting a 200-percent tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States,” Trump warned.
As Breitbart News reported, John Deere announced hundreds of layoffs in June that took effect August 30, as the company prepared layoffs at a plant in East Moline, Illinois, and in Davenport, Iowa.
“They haven’t started it yet. Maybe they haven’t even made the final decision yet, but I think they have,” he said.
I am honestly a little curious… People on the left must surely agree with this…? It is economic nationalism: keeping working class jobs at home for the benefit of the local workers.
Obviously, there’s a lot more that should be done if you are pro-worker, but it is also interesting that much of the Left dismisses these policies and sees it as unfeasible to maintain the American working class and revitalize the rust belt.
Breitbart is well-known for being a nazi magazine.
They are the mouthpiece of Jewish finance & neoconservatism designed to advance the cause of Zionism and attempt to redirect prole racism from conventional racism & Nazism towards Islamophobia and a very controllable anti-immigration movement.
They are actually what has been designed to prevent a popular far right movement from taking place minus one that is completely defanged and can simply be used to pour prole energy into forever wars to advance international capital.
It’s pretty conventional stuff.
I don’t know why anyone is so bothered by it - it’s basically just three clicks to the right of CNN.
about as believable as calling trump nazi, you really sound fascistic imo
Spiderman seems to be pointing at Spiderman…

bla bla bla orange man bad, but nazis who love Kamala are ok
I don’t like the cop. You view the world in a hard Black and White and picked a side. I weighted the options between a “tough on crime” prosecutor who’s done fuck all about climate change and a carpetbagger from Manhattan. We’ve already had 4 years of Trump and it was terrible.
