The US is somehow the football, Lucy, and Charlie Brown. Talk about a self own of epic proportions.

if that narc bitch didn't become a Rat. probably wouldn't be in this situation right now. then again maybe it would've happened sooner or later.

she was the catalyst to get the gestapo to go after the illegals in that factory.

22 doesn't sound like a lot.

Step 1: beg for foreign investment

Step 2: have a deliberately shitty visa process that encourages circumvention

Step 3: wait for the foreign workers that are here to perform work on their investments to get bad visas so they can go ahead and break ground and begin transferring knowledge to Americans.

Step 4:???

Step 5: fuck yeah 'Merica!

There goes millions of dollars for the state of Georgia

Gee, who could have seen that coming? Trump really is better for the economy.

What?? 22 from a single country all the way across the globe seems pretty fucking high to me.

Not to mention said contracts are likely worth at least tens of millions each.

Depending on the scale of the projects 22 investment projects could be billions of dollars.

Paused or actually cancelled?

Yeah this is gonna go a long way towards making things affordable lmfao

Art of the Deal

Well duh. He's going to ruin our reputation with everyone.

Trump directly attacked them in an unjustifiable manner. I don't see how they go with a mild response to such an insult.

Lmao

some still believe he is good for it and think the prices will go down later not understanding the reason that happens is cuz a dem is usually in charge fixing the mess repubs make

Friendly reminder Trump is a russian asset.

Did this admin give back the subsidies that were in the CHIPS act? Either way I imagine this will resolved after being used as leverage by Korea to have the US foot more of their construction and training bills, maybe under the condition they contract a US based firm to do the foundation work. Republicans will cheer because paying 30% more will be worth it so long as everybody remembers USA is #1.

There's just no benefit to this whatsoever

Their shitty base is going to vote for them regardless so this doesn't really benefit them. This just hurts our economy, hurts our workers, ruins an important diplomatic relationship with a very close ally. It makes me legitimately wonder - we have known for ages that Trump is a Russian intelligence asset, but is it possible that he is also a North Korean one? The only person whom this bullshit benefits is literally, no joke, Kim Jong-Un

I applaud Hyundai even if I never liked their products

Trump actually attempted to get back in contact with Kim Jong-Un near the start of this term, but was snubbed.

I think you're overthinking it to and the reality is that they're just unchecked impulsive nutjobs making it up as they go along while the people pulling the strings don't give a shit because they're above the consequences.

You could be right, but that's also a sad state of affairs if you can do something stupid and accidentally benefit fucking North Korea of all places. It is so incredibly hard to help out North Korea, yet Trump is somehow able to do it without trying? That's some sad shit

Well, Trump idolizes the Supreme Leader.

Its a slow motion self imposed trade embargo. Amazing.

Your only choice of car from now on is a variety of GM shitboxes which are now 50% more expensive because they have no competition.

(And actually this is how the car market works in South Korea....)

Well with unemployment at an all time low, prices of groceries lower than theyve been in decades, and gas under a dollar a gallon isnt it worth it?

More South Korean planes landing in Canada ftw.
