I watched a little TYT and Cenk and Ana were buying the auto industry blood bath angle. Bullshit. He made it clear when he said the cars sales problem would be the least of it and specifically a blood bath in the country.

When was this deal to build the plants in Mexico hammered out anyway? That doesn't happen overnight. They may have made the deal on Trump's watch.
