Donald Trump has something to say to Detroit autoworkers: you make too much money. Talking about U.S. vehicle manufacturers moving production to Mexico in an interview with The Detroit News, Trump said this:

He said U.S. automakers could shift production away from Michigan to communities where autoworkers would make less. “You can go to different parts of the United States and then ultimately you’d do full-circle — you’ll come back to Michigan because those guys are going to want their jobs back even if it is less,” Trump said. “We can do the rotation in the United States — it doesn’t have to be in Mexico.”

He said that after Michigan “loses a couple of plants — all of sudden you’ll make good deals in your own area.”

1. Well,

my response to the Esteemed Mr. Trump would be the exact same statement.... "You Mr. Trump Make Too Much Money."

At least they MAKE something! Trump gets his money by cheating people out of their money

3. The Circle of Blight.

Orchestrated by a man who wears a dead animal on his head.

4. Yes, Donald. That is the 'beauty' of Taft-Hartley and 'right-to-work' laws.

Companies can break unions and lower wages without abandoning the legal and physical infrastructure of the US. Just "shift production away from Michigan to communities where autoworkers would make less" like Tennessee or Mississippi. Then "those guys in Michigan" will "want their jobs back" even if the pay "is less". Donald calls it "rotation" within the US.

We can see whose side you are on, Donald.

5. Now there's an argument that will appeal to voters everywhere.

You make too much. Just dial it back. CEOs are worth it buy you're not. Loser!

17. Spot on observation, but I tell ya...

That very argument, said of the working class ( "you need a pay cut", "you make too much money" ) is the cornerstone of every republican/conservative economic platform. And yet: All too many in the middle/working class....hell, even among some of the poor, will gleefully carry the plutocrat's mouthpiece's water as long as they throw out hunks of raw meat to feed hungry bigoted, faux nationalist, gun-nut, religious freakazoid mouths.

Too many members of the working class vote against their own interests is a theme that's been discussed here and elsewhere; and yet it still happens. Seems everybody strives to be a rich man in a poor country.

6. B Calm to Donald Trump: you make too much money

[Depaysement]

7. Phony "Nationalism" with lower wages for all

Where have I heard that before, El Caudillo?

[NaturalHigh]

8. This coming from a guy who has declared bankruptcy multiple times...

but somehow gets to keep all of his money.

[hobbit709]

9. Bankruptcy on his business ventures, not personal bankruptcy.

And anyone that has filed bankruptcy on two casinos is not a good businessperson.

10. Now we have heard the exact opposite of Bernie's argument

I'm siding with Henry Ford and Bernie.

11. world to Donald Trump

Ding Dong The King Is Dead !!!!!

12. Said the man who has never worked a day in his life.

Every man and woman I know who has devoted their working life -- "career" to paper pushing "dealmakers" -- suffers chronic health problems from working in the plants.

[gollygee]

13. That's a good way to get votes in this state . . .

Not.

And Michigan has lost more than a couple of plants.

14. says the man who inherited his wealth....

[ladjf]

15. This mean spirited, baseless Republican type idea is

going to hurt Trump's candidacy more than any outrageous thing he has said.

[Codeine]

16. Guillotine, motherfuckers.

Gawd I hate his whole parasitic class.
