It beggars the mind to think that 25% of the electorate actually voted for this mind numbingly idiotic excuse for a human being.

"While American auto manufacturers have moved more plants abroad, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and other Japanese automakers have collectively invested $35.4 billion in U.S. manufacturing plants since the 80s. "

How many fucking years have the factories in the US existed ?????
Maybe even before this list not sure of the first but at least I fucking know it's been for more than a quarter of a century you moron
1983 - Holden and Nissan form a joint venture in Australia; Nissan Sunny (Sentra) assembled at Nissan's Smryna, Tennessee facility
1984 - Toyota opens NUMMI, the first joint venture plant in the United States with General Motors
1986 - Acura is launched in the US by Honda
1988 - Daihatsu enters the US making it the first time all nine Japanese manufacturers are present; Toyota Camry becomes third Japanese car manufactured at Toyota's Erlanger, Kentucky assembly plant
1989 - Lexus is launched in the US by Toyota
1989 - Infiniti is launched in the US by Nissan

Looks like 82 in this article so I was off
its 35 years!!

Because his cult following eats that sh*t up. And then they chant, "USA! USA! USA!" Pointing out to them that many Japanese cars are already made in the US would be as productive as talking to the proverbial brick wall.
