Goodyear Plant Is the Latest Victim of Trump's Misguided Tariffs, War

Wednesday, May 20, 2026

Rather than ushering in a "Golden Age," President Donald Trump's tariffs and his war with Iran seem to have played a significant role in killing a North Carolina tire factory.

Before Donald Trump, America was on a path to beat China -- American EV factories and supply chains, good-paying American jobs, and a more secure nation. Trump and Republicans blew that up. Jobs gone. Factories moving overseas. China stronger than ever.

Will America survive Trump?

Putin is betting we won't.

Great management of the "war economy" that Dummkopf Trumpf and Pete Hogsbreath want.

#2 This is all the bald midgets plan.

Wait for the midterms. That's is going to be huge --- show with filing lawsuit after lawsuit trying to delay the election results.

2028 will be worse. He will try to steal the presidency....again.

If Holy Mike is still speaker he will succeed.

There are no 'victims'...only martyrs.

At this rate, I'm not sure what's gonna be left of America after Donald Trump leaves office.

And I don't think he's gonna leave office in 2028.

I mean, I wonder what's gonna be left of America once Donald Trump's dead.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Gov Gavin Newsom (D-CA) posted this critical message skewering Dummkopf Trumpf and the Republicans for wrecking the American economy, putting us behind China.

I don't recall Gov Gavin Newsom (D-CA), or other California Democrats (Nancy Pelosi, Eric Swalwell, or Adam Schiff for that matter), posting or alerting the Biden administration or the 2024 Harris/Walz ticket to pay attention to the antiwar protests that swept California-- and the country-- which could impact the Democratic ticket on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024.

Posts like this from Gov Gavin Newsom (D) are accurate, but akin to closing the gates after all the horses have ran out of the corral.

Thanks for nothing, Gavin!

Tariffs, taxes on American consumers to try and force them to buy American..the Chinese producers have an entire world to sell their products in, many really don't need the US.

I'm beginning to think putting someone who bankrupted casinos in charge of the economy was a bad idea.

"The Biden administration imposed a 100% tariff on all Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) under Section 301 of the Trade Act. Finalized in September 2024, these steep duties replaced an earlier 25% tariff and are intended to shield American automakers and auto workers from state-subsidized Chinese overcapacity."
