Here is what is going on: The American auto sector would face a “bloodbath” if President Joe Biden is reelected in November, according to remarks made by former President Donald Trump this weekend in Ohio.
The Reaction: Ignoring the context that Trump was referring to the American auto sector, the media, and the Biden campaign declared that Trump was threatening political violence and would stop future elections.
The quotation is from former president Donald Trump: “China is currently constructing a few large plants where they plan to manufacture the cars in Mexico and believe that they will be able to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.”
- Further: He mentioned that every car crossing the line in the U.S. will be subject to a 100% tariff and taxes, and no one would be able to sell those cars. Now, it will be a carnage if I’m not elected. It will be a national bloodbath. However, they won’t sell those vehicles.
- Beyond the headlines: Trump’s remarks are supported by Democrats in the Rust Belt states. While Debbie Dingell (D-MI) has stated that “automobiles made by China aren’t going to get any benefit from trade agreements that we’ve got,” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) publicly supports auto tariffs on Chinese vehicles.
The Context: Biden is fully committed to electric vehicles, whose widespread use could jeopardize employment in the country’s non-electric auto sector. China intends to manufacture and import large numbers of electric vehicles without imposing tariffs, which is expected to result in a “bloodbath” for the US auto industry.
Why it is important: Rushing to demonize Trump’s remarks, the media disregarded the bipartisan agreement over the serious threat Chinese auto imports pose to American employment and communities.
