Based on what you wrote, the CNN claim is accurate. You should not think it is misleading just because Breitbart says so.
i'm not crazy about the CNN headline but, agreed, in the OP's quote trump doesn't acknowledge the japanese cars that have been built in the US but instead singles out toyota and mazda who are going to invest in in new manufacturing. IIRC 80% of hondas sold in the US are built in the US.
They just can't stick with the facts and tell the whole story. They are driven to find ways to make Trump look bad and their editors are good at doing that.
-------------------------
Left-wing CNN has been caught red-handed selectively-editing a Donald Trump quote as a means to make the president look foolish during his overseas trip to Japan.
In its second piece of very fake news launched against Trump Monday morning (here is the first), CNN’s snarky and dishonest headline reads, “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does.” In order to justify its misleading headline, CNN lies through omission by deliberately publishing only part of Trump’s statement during a meeting with Japanese automakers on Monday:
“Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so,” is the only part of what Trump said that CNN bothers to quote.
CNN then points and laughs at Trump’s ignorance with this deceptive fact check: “Japanese automakers, however, already have huge factories in the U.S. that churn out millions of cars each year.”
But in order to mock the president, the fake news factory that is CNN misleads its readers by not quoting Trump in full, a quote which very clearly shows the president is not only fully aware of that fact that Japanese automakers make cars in America, but that he is grateful to them for doing so:
And we love it when you build cars — if you’re a Japanese firm, we love it — try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so. (Laughter.) If you could build them. But I must say, Toyota and Mazda — where are you? Are you here, anybody? Toyota? Mazda? I thought so. Oh, I thought that was you. That’s big stuff. Congratulations. Come on, let me shake your hand. (Applause.) They’re going to invest $1.6 billion in building a new manufacturing plant, which will create as many as 4,000 new jobs in the United States. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. (Applause.)
Nobody is buying this FAKE "fake news" rubbish that you are selling here RoadKing.
CNN did not take Trump out of context, maybe YOU need to spend more time parsing before posting, because the only thing fake here is your attempt to pretend CNN is somehow misrepresenting Trumputin.
LMAO, are you that blind? You need to read what he said again. What CNN quoted was exactly what the imbecile said.
What CNN Reported: “Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so,”
What Trump said: And we love it when you build cars — if you’re a Japanese firm, we love it — try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so. (Laughter.) If you could build them. But I must say, Toyota and Mazda — where are you? Are you here, anybody? Toyota? Mazda? I thought so.

No, it isn't. If you can't see the difference, who is the imbecile? Here, I'll help you.
CNN:
“Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so,”
Trump:
And we love it when you build cars — if you’re a Japanese firm, we love it — try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so. (Laughter.) If you could build them. But I must say, Toyota and Mazda — where are you? Are you here, anybody? Toyota? Mazda? I thought so. Oh, I thought that was you.

See the difference? Even your Trump hatred shouldn't blind you that much unless you are an imbecile.
What do you want CNN to do, ask hard questions about 16 years of war, the debt, the spending...
I've watched Jake Tapper go after McConnell on the debt and sending, especially in light of the current proposed tax bill. He pushed hard and McConnell just pulled up his neck flap and garbled something about increased revenue from a booming economy.

CNN chose to select part of the statement to make Trump look bad. YOu may not understand because you are blinded by Trump hate. Just like CNN.

Reason: rude
Imagine taking statements out of context. Nobody ever did that to Obama!
I agree that CNN should not stoop to the Fox/Breitbart method of reporting news.
