    I judge cars on quality. Road hugging is very nice. I prefer cars that are the least likely to break down (Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Infiniti, Lexus, Acura).

    The press is determined to get him impeached (they're butt hurt from 2016); they are the enemy.

    Radical Muslims have declared war on the U.S. Failing to acknowledge that would be negligence.

    There's nothing wrong with nationalism/patriotism. For years we haven't had enough of it.

    He respects the military; as you should.

    Do you have proof of cronyism and corruption?

    Wow. You're 0-for 5.

    VietVet obviously chose the Marine avatar for a reason, but at just about every opportunity this person chooses to disparage the military.
    The contradictions have made me question the validity of the whole persona.
    To me VietVet is simply a fraud.

    His daughter and son-in-law are proof or cronyism.
    If he respected the military, he would've served instead of getting a note from a doctor.
    You are in denial, so further response is a waste of time.

    You were just schooled in a previous quote so no need to embarrass you further.

    BMW produces about 400,000 cars in Spartanburg, SC every year. This is roughly equivalent to the U.S. sales of BMWs.

    Edit:
    This is more than the U.S. Sales of BMWs.

    BMW produces about as many BMWs in the U.S. as we buy (not all of the same cars, though, we buy some models that are made elsewhere, and export others). Trump is proving himself to be an idiot on this issue. Also, people who buy BMWs aren't going to start buying Fords and Chevy's or even Cadillacs.

    Exactly. BMW made around 411,000 X3s and X5s in the US (SC) last year. They sold about 313,000 BMWs in the U.S. last year. That means the U.S. is a net exporter fo BMWs (by almost 100k a year).

    Then you're not the target audience for a BMW. They sell to people that can and want to drive well. (I admit, I'm not a BMW person either). That said, Trump is foolish on this subject. BMW makes more BMW SUVs than we buy all types of BMWs. The U.S. is a net exporter of BMWs.

    No, you seem to do a pretty good job of it, yourself.

    I can drive well. And the Japanese have sports cars. The Nissan GTR is pretty nice.

    You've already fallen to Islam. Your country is the perfect example of a frog in a pot. You don't care about your culture or your people and you've surrendered your nation.

    As usual needs Trump only a target to blame something on someone ... no matter how true the BS he told is really!
    Until now this Trainee in White House failed with everything he did this way ... travel ban, wall to Mexico, Pressure on Europe, North Korea, Obamacare replacement... but hey, that is why the righties love him maybe, because they love to get nothing solved but to blame others to be guilty for the mess they create by their own!

    Getting personal? Having issues staying on the actual thread topic? Fear not, Trump is doing Putin's bidding and that explains the thread topic.
