General Motors said it will invest $1.8 billion and add 700 new jobs at manufacturing operations in six states, including $300 million and 400 new jobs at its Orion Assembly plant in suburban Detroit to produce a new full-electric Chevrolet vehicle.

The news comes days after U.S. President Donald lambasted the company for plans to potentially close up to four domestic plants, however the company contends the announcements were planned prior to his comments, which started Sunday on Twitter and continued through a rally in Ohio on Wednesday.

They can contend whatever they want, but it's pretty clear the blowback from both the right and the left had a lot to do with this.

They specifically mention Trump as the reason they did it.

Democrats would have signed deal to move plan to Mexico, then sit on the ground and eat some dirt. Tell us cars are bad.

Trump still winning!!!


MAGA!

The company specifically noted these plans are from pre-trump whining.

Businesses don’t make hiring decisions based on the whining of a politician.

They were specifically asked about Trump so responded to that question.

[b] The news comes days after U.S. President Donald lambasted the company for plans to potentially close up to four domestic plants, however the company contends the announcements were planned prior to his comment[/B ]

1100 jobs added over 5 years...and how many were being cut? 15% of 54,000 jobs....- looks like we are still down 7,000 jobs.The 15% of the 54,00 was going to be cut by the end of next year.

It just seems to highlight how many jobs are actually being cut.

Yup. Obama never should have bailed out GM. If they had let the normal bankruptcy process deal with it, they'd be a much better company today.

They specifically mentioned Trump as NOT the reason they did it and this fact can be found in the very first post!!!


I don't understand why some posters have a pathological need to always suppress the truth when posting. Is it because facts are never on their side?

Exactly!
On that side of the aisle they don't bother to read the fine print. They listen to State/Hate TV and Radio and read the "right" web sites and parrot the same talking points.


They are always right.

If GM lays off 5,000 and then hire 400, they cheer. Wow, they hired 400!

If they are called out on it, "bad bad Obama shouldn't have bailed out the auto industry".

You see - they can't lose. So much winning.

It's because they're liars.

Obama has nothing to do with your false claim that GM "They specifically mention Trump as the reason they did it. " so stop the deflection away from the false claim.
