GM Insiders Can't Understand Why Trump Is All Over Their Case - Can You Give Them A Hint?

General Motors and its CEO Mary Barra are in President Donald Trump's crosshairs more than most other companies and it has many inside the automaker and across the industry pondering why.

In a matter of 72 hours, starting Friday, the president chided GM for dragging its feet in getting lifesaving ventilators to the front lines in the battle against coronavirus.

Then on Sunday, Trump changed course, extolling GM after it announced its plans two days prior to make ventilators with Ventec LIfe System at GM's Kokomo, Indiana, plant. The FDA-approved ventilators will ship in mid-April.

I don't pretend to know.

What I do know is that the last Chevy anyone in my family owned was in 1980, and that was their last strike.

Take your head out of the sand Mary and look around. Your subordinates are in CYA mode not telling you the truth after they got caught gouging.

It's really clear.

GM is hellbent on raping workers. Instead of developing a dynamic product to build in Lordstown, they sell it to someone that might make ugly EV trucks at a trickle that is if they can figure out how to design them first.

GM also could have EASILY built the Blazer in the USA and they raped the workers there too.

Where was the UAW? Clearly they didn't care.

GM is a cataclysm of unintelligent management. Time for a purge.

1. Barra has one, Trump is one.
2. Trump has with strong, competent women and is petty enough to make it an issue because he's a genius.

Barra isn't a strong, competent woman. She is an incompetent gender token.
