Text in image: Bernie Moreno ✓ 🛡️ @berniemoreno Here's what you won't read in the mainstream media (or @Automotive_News): Since Liberation Day one year ago today, these are the announced investments from auto companies: ✅ @Hyundai Kia: $26 billion ✅ @StellantisNA: $13 billion ✅ @Toyota: $10 billion (on top of $60 billion they have invested already! ✅ @MercedesBenzUSA: $4 billion (on top of $7 billion invested to date) ✅ @Ford: $5 billion ✅ @GM: $4 billion Every single Democrat opposes the tariffs that led to these investments. Instead, every single Democrat voted for and supported the moronic push to electric vehicles that cost the US auto industry almost $100 billion! China was laughing at the absurdity, but a new renaissance in US automotive manufacturing is coming! Thank you @realDonaldTrump, @SecHWLutnick, and @jamiesongreer. America First v America Last!

Today I am also announcing that as part of our tax cuts, we will make interest on car loans fully deductible. So a man who's, a lot of you people are in the car industry, actually I made a lot of them backstage. What do you do? I'm in the car industry. But a lot of them, and I told him about a very knowledgeable person. He said, here's a guy, he's done it all his life, he's sitting right over there, I don't want to embarrass him. But he said, where did you come up with that idea? That's the coolest thing. It's like the paperclip again, right? It's like the paperclip. Somebody comes up with the paperclip and everybody says, why the hell didn't I think of that? Somebody came up with the paperclip, I guess made a lot of money, and other people said, why? But he said, I've been in the car industry all my life, I've never thought about that. So we're going to make it fully deductible, the interest payments, that's going to revolutionize your industry. This will stimulate massive domestic auto production, and make car ownership dramatically more affordable for millions and millions of working American families. This is a phenomenal thing. If I do say so myself. Who likes that idea? Isn't that great?

Today, I am announcing a detailed plan to save the American auto industry and bring millions and millions of jobs back to our shores and very quickly. If you vote for Trump and you will see a mass exodus of manufacturing jobs, but from Mexico to Michigan, from Shanghai to Stirling Heights, and from Beijing to right here in beautiful Detroit. Wait till you see Detroit. And they'll also be going to places like South Carolina, Tennessee, and others. We have a lot of car making states, a lot of parts making states, too. And our car industry will have a renaissance, the likes of which we have never seen before in this country. We have never seen since the golden years. It's my goal to get our country on an auto making path, where at some point in the near future it will be bigger and more important than it ever was. And even in its heyday many years ago, it was unbelievable. I think we can be bigger and more important because we have some very, very great assets. And this is very personal for me, personal. One of the reasons is because I've been talking about it for 20 years. I can't believe it happened. That was the when I was honored. That's all I talked about. I was watching this happen. It was at that time, Japan, Japan was just taking our cars like we were a bunch of babies. I always say candy from a baby. That's how easy it was. Now it's Japan, but it's China and it's a lot of countries. This was one of the biggest reasons I ran for president in the first place. You know, it was probably the auto industry that was most abused. You were the most abused. There are a lot of industries that are abused. We stopped it, but now I could put the brakes on it. Not only stop, I now know the game a little better. You know, I had never been a politician before. I got to the White House. I said, yeah, I've never done this before, but I had to learn and I had some great people. Bob Lighthizer was great, our trade representative, but we had some people that I didn't like. I wouldn't have picked, in retrospect, we had some clinkers. But you have to understand, I just got there. I was only in Washington 17 times and I never stayed over. So I wasn't a part of Washington society. It wasn't my thing. I was a New York person, developer, did great. And I knew New York, but I didn't know Washington. So I came, I had to rely on people. Sometimes I'd rely on rhinos and that's what I'd get. I'd get a rhino. And that wasn't so good. But we had mostly great people, but we had some ones that I would not have again. And we're going to finish the job that we really brilliantly started because we had numbers that the ambassador gave you some of them. I don't want to bore you by going through it, but he gave you some numbers that were unprecedented.

But as politico.com reports tonight on the "bloodbath" at the RNC, headlines calling it a "bloodbath." Yeah, bloodbath. Not only is it going to be a bloodbath, but after they leave New Hampshire, it's a bloodbath on her home turf. That's really tough. And Trump has left a lot of corpses in his wake. I mean, we can count the bodies as part of the "MAGA drive" to take over Maricopa County. And the headline refers to it as an impending bloodbath. Columnist Charles Blow has a new piece for the New York Times entitled "A Biden Bloodbath." 2018 midterms, you can bet that they 100% are fearing a slaughter. In fact, the word "bloodbath" and "massacre" come up frequently. The Republican Party will be destroyed. It's going to be a bloodbath. There's going to be a bloodbath one way or the other. Bloodbath for Bernie Sanders. It's been a bloodbath there shaping up to be a bloodbath. Head off a bloodbath in next year's crucial midterm. Off your elections are often a bloodbath. This week's bloodbath for Democrats. A bloodbath at the ballot box. There could be a Republican bloodbath. They'll talk about a bloodbath. There's a bloodbath. I have to talk about you. It's going to be a bloodbath all day long. It's in for a bloodbath. It hasn't been a bloodbath on the way down. Donald Trump bloodbath. Be a bloodbath. Predicted to be a bloodbath. May not be the bloodbath. It would be a bloodbath. More of a bloodbath. It's going to be a bloodbath in November. Possible Biden bloodbath this November. A bloodbath on Wall Street.

Joe Biden is waging war in the U.S. auto industry with a series of crippling mandates designed to force Americans into expensive electric cars, that's just what you want, even as thousands of electric cars are piling up on car lots all unsold. This ridiculous Green New Deal crusade is causing car prices to skyrocket while setting the stage for the destruction of American auto production. These extreme left-wing policies are a disaster for families and consumers, and are one of the main reasons the average cost of a new car is now over $50,000, absolutely outrageous, and there's never been such a price before. These exorbitant prices are, despite the fact that Biden is spending billions and billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing electric cars for rich people, while normal Americans can't afford to use one, nor do they even want to. Biden is killing American consumers, and he's also killing U.S. manufacturing. In an all-out attack on American-made pickup trucks, SUVs, and other automobiles, Biden doubled CAFE standards, a move that is projected to cost automakers $200 billion. By one estimate, Biden's electric vehicle mandate will slaughter 117,000 U.S. auto manufacturing jobs with workers in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio among the hardest hit. And I hope United Auto Workers is listening to this, because I think you better endorse Trump, because I'm going to grow your business, and they are destroying your business. They are absolutely destroying your business. How people can vote for you, just because it's an automatic Democrat vote. Look how they've decimated the car industry over the years. Mexico has 32 percent of the business that we used to have. It's ridiculous. But they didn't do it while I was president, I can tell you that. If Biden's assault is not stopped, American auto production will be totally dead. That's why I'm going to terminate these Green New Deal atrocities on day one. In my first term, I fought for auto workers like never before, canceling TPP, which was a disaster, ending the NAFTA nightmare. The NAFTA trade deal was the worst deal ever negotiated on trade, and renegotiating Obama's horrendous Korea trade deal made it a great deal from a horrible deal. I saved the American auto industry once, and now I will save it again. Every voter in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina needs to know. If you want to have an auto industry, you need to defeat Joe Biden. He's a corrupt president, and re-elect President Donald Trump. Thank you very much. We will take care of you.
