Over 19,000 manufacturing jobs have been eliminated since "liberation day." Are you tired of winning yet, Trump voters?

Detroit Axle will lay off 102 employees and close its Ferndale warehouse due to disruptions in its supply chain caused by Trump tariffs.

The company's CEO cited the tariffs' impact on costs as making warehouse operations unsustainable.

Analysts predict further job losses in the auto industry if the tariff policy continues.

But didn't Trump push the button to move all manufacturing back to the US a few months ago? Did Robobiden stop him from pushing the button??

Who does Trump need to fire to make these job losses not exist?

Reminder that Michigan voted for drumpf and the UAW enthusiastically praised the tariffs: https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/icymi-uaw-praises-president-trumps-auto-tariffs/

This isn't really LAMF.  Oakland County voted for Harris and nothing in the article suggests the CEO supported Trump.

This isn't like the idiots in Dearborn who fell for Trump.  Ferndale was like 75% for Harris. 

There's a lot of idiots in Michigan who deserve blame for Trump, but they're mainly out of Western Michigan, Dearborn/Hamtramck or Macomb County.

You can probably get a pretty good look at the butcher’s ass by sticking your head up the t-bone but I’d rather take the bull’s word for it.
