General Motors has confirmed CEO and Chairman Mary Barra will be in attendance for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to The Detroit News.
The automaker declined to provide specifics as to whether she was personally invited by Trump or if she would merely be in attendance.
Barra will also be a part of Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum, where she will advise the president on economic and policy issues. Barra will be joined by numerous other CEOs and executives, including Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. The group will meet for the first time this coming February at the White House.
GM has also come under scrutiny from Trump for its Mexico production plans involving the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback. Trump called out the automaker over Twitter to threaten a “big border tax” for bringing the vehicle back into the U.S. after production. Barra stated production would not move from Mexico to the United States following the criticism.
Trump will be sworn into office this Friday, January 20, 2017.

Remember all the preaching about “peaceful transition of power” and “supporting whomever is elected President”, AKA not being a sore loser, we heard before the election?
Funny how the biggest preachers are now doing just the opposite. Then again, we all know who the hyprocrites historically are. At least Mary Barra understands that it is better to work together for the betterment of Americans and America, and not just be negative and bitter sore losers.
I 100% agree. Hillary said on multiple occasions, “It is disgusting for Mr. Trump to say he will not accept the results of the election.”. These individuals (her own party) are doing exactly what she claimed was disgusting. Accept the results, hope for the best and move on. Sheesh!
“Trump won? Boo hoo…I’m taking my ball, going home and hiding under the blankets!”.
So very sad.
i’m going to piss on the birther con man at every opportunity. then again he might like it.
I don’t plan on watching Donald Trump become President. I didn’t vote for him, I don’t like his attitude towards those around him. I don’t mind voting for a businessman for President, but I don’t support *this* businessman. He’s a racist, he’s a homophobe, he’s misogynistic.

NEVER MY PRESIDENT.
NEVER.
Exactly! All reasons I refuse to support Donald Drumpf. How Donald Trump became President Elect is beyond me. I sure as hell wouldn’t vote for him.
Glad you are on the tollorant left they have never done anything listed here.
Defending a fascist. Classy.
Sorry I judge someone on their actions. I waited for Obama to take office and judge him on his action after. I will do the same here.
I even gave you the benefit of doubt till I read your posts and then you removed all doubt.
Just as I did with the last president I will judge on actions in office. When he gets it right I will give credit and when he gets it wrong I will call him out. But he has yet to take any actions yet and judgment will have to wait.
You want Fascist I can send you to some real countries that are the real thing. I would love them to define to you what really is.
They are the ones who really will put you in jail for disagreeing with them. That is not going to happen here unless you break windows and set fire to car while looting.
Wonder why conservatives do not loot and break windows when they don’t get their way? Could they be more law abiding, rational and honest?
I can’t say Trump’s cabinet nominees are all that law abiding and honest. Some of their version of ‘looting’ is smarter – foreclosure banks, financial setups in Aruba, not claiming $100m in assets in Aruba is an ‘oversight’. Not stealing flat screen TVs. I’m not defending either.
But so far, Trump gets his way on pretty much anything: Mexican assembly plants, forget it. Coal, health care, the guy scares corporate America, and no one wants to cross him.
So I’m not passing judgement – it’s important for the US and most of the world that the Trump experience works.
I don’t agree with everything he’s doing, any more than I did any of his predecessors – he’s our prez, and I hope it works. We need it to work. I’ll leave it at that.
I totally agree with the last paragraph you have. This has been true to anyone in the office.
“Sorry I judge someone on their actions.”
I do too. But the difference is I’m not an apologist that gives their prior actions a clean slate. Past actions matter. Recent past matters even more, like —
1. Failing to release his taxes.
2. Lying about why. Repeatedly.
3. Threatening Senator Clinton during a debate with prosecution.
4. Lying on the Bible to uphold the Constitution (How’s THAT for recent?)
Please don’t go on an HRC diatribe. I supported Sanders.
“When he gets it right I will give credit and when he gets it wrong I will call him out.”
Not the least bit noble — considering (again) you conveniently overlook past actions. Here’s another REALLY recent action you’re giving Turd a walk on: his cabinet nominees that need no knowledge of their position but merely millions.
“You want Fascist I can send you to some real countries that are the real thing.”
No. I don’t want ‘fascist’. YOU do.
And that asinine argument is like telling your daughter to abide her boyfriend who roughly grabbed her body because in some countries she would have been outright raped. Nice.
“Wonder why conservatives do not loot and break windows when they don’t get their way?”
Apparently you haven’t heard of domestic terrorism. Pull head out of a sandy butt.
Get over it you loon this is the real world. No one out there is all going to join hand and sing their way to peace and prosperity.
#1 The IRS knows what he has paid and if there is anything wrong he would have been in jail years ago. The left only wants the numbers to say he did not pay his fair share. If he followed the law and used write offs then more power to him. This kind of thinking will help balance our budget unlike the last admin could not do in 8 year. In fact they increased it with so little to show.
#2 He clearly stated from the start they would use it against him even if he did nothing illegal.
#3 She is lucky to this point he does not follow through on the unsecured server as she did break the law. It will be up to the AG on the foundation and influence pedaling. Note they are shutting it down because the money stopped coming in. And why? She and Bill no longer have any influence to sell.
#4 Remains to be seen. He just took office and it is his oath to uphold. If he fails then he will have to answer for it. What you state is like me accusing you of murder. You to this point I assume have not committed the deed so how could I accuse you of that. Only a fool would do that.
Sanders gets it right? He has played you for a fool. He wants to take everyone else’s money and give it away? While he pretended to be poor in his camper while he took pay offs to get out of the election. Just check on all the money he spent after he got out. He is all he has warned about in Washington. He knows about them so well as he is one.
The man has never held a job with consequences if he fails to perform he job. His elections were just rubber stamps in an area of the country where they are just a bunch of old brain dead hippies.
Domestic Terror? Those are the folks our past admin called the people that followed the ISSI sites and even then refused to call them radical Islamic terror.
The bottom line is you have a right to disagree and you have a right to protest peacefully. But no one holds the right conservative or liberal to damage property, loot, attack police or innocent members of the public.
I am not sure why you are jealous of others who have been successful. If it was done legally go for it. But so many if they worked as hard making their own way as they do protesting others they could too be sharing in what is available and earn it them selves.
You are too stupid to realize you are nothing but a tool being used by the power brokers on the far left trying to take away you freedom to even be as misguided as you are. Soros and his gang want to destroy this county and our freedoms.
Just look to Venezuela and see how well that worked out. The promises you want are what they got and now they went from a stable free goverment to one were everyone is struggling and many now are dying. That promise of equal for everyone was for the suffering not anything else.
The day is coming where California is going to fail. Be it financially or through a large natural disaster. Then you watch as all you so called left friends start to kill each other over what you have. That day is coming as we have seen it already in small riots already.
Now if you want to call some one like the kid in SC a terroist that is fine as for us on the right he is a murder. I can say most of us would gladly pull the lever on the chair to send him out of this world. We would not keep him around as a novelty. You f ups in California could not even get it righ on Manson. Your buddies on the left kept him and Bobby Kennedys murder alive way to long. Both should have been worm food long ago.
A tool is someone who actually believes the jury is out on whether Trump is a liar. Hope your yellow raincoat protects you from his golden showers of horseshinola.
Show me someone on the left that has not lied. You have heard it so long they have could get away with anything over there.
This is what is going down. Trump will challenge both sides to a major outrageous first offer. Then he will get with them and they will make counter offers till they strike a deal that both will accept on both sides.
With Russia he will be nice to him till they meet and then look him face to face and tell him F you and then make a low offer and negotiate a deal from there.
Many people have underestimated him. He will not win everything but we will be in a much better place once we enforce the laws on the books and cut the wasteful spending and move much of it to things that will really create jobs not pay back unions for favors.
I love the greatest lie. The left goes on and on on how he hates immigrants. Hell he has married two of them. That does not sound like hate.
Lets face it if Hilary and her people could not dig up legitimate trash then few will ever find what is not there.
The Russian may have hacked the DOC but they did not frame the e mails that were posted. They lied and cheated their own Democrats and what do you think they would do to the rest of us.
They put one right up the A$$ of all the Bernie followers but most are too stupid to realize this.
I expect at some point we will see some very tough times. Be it natural disasters. or if we are attacked by someone. I know the people who will be there to lend a hand and I know who the ones will eat their own to survive. You already see it in the large cities. It is just a total different mind set of entitlement and many will die unless that is changed.
Even under the new deal FDR expected people to work for their keep and at least provided jobs that lead to things that still are viable today. Obama gave away a lot asked for nothing in return and we got a few roads repaved.
Wow!
Your peeboy just raised mortgage rates. To ‘help the people in the Midwest who have no jobs’.
Take a bow, pinhead. He’s a liar and you an apologist.
The economy is out of balance and interest rates have needed to go up but your friends in DC are too afraid to do it.
You really have a thing about getting pee’d on. Hmm you left coast people play a real different game.
You can drop the line on Trump as even your folks said it was not true. Lets face it the only stuff you can pin on the guy is made up stuff. Nothing worked in the election and nothing will now. He does more damage to himself in his tweets than you bozo’s can do with anything on him.
You guys may have a tough 4 years and if things get better an even tougher 8 years.
They go much better if you are more forgiving like most of us were to Obama. Yes there were some far right wacks but you are going to have that. They have you on the left so it balances.
Minus Points Barra
HOLY SMOKES. Mrs. Barra goes to the Presidential inauguation, and you guys start to ‘pee’ on each other, cool-!!! Everyone remember Trump was elected by the people using the same rules, as in the past. Obama had a chance to improve USA, and he did NOTHING, but increase the national debt,….. so let Trump attempt to create “an American positive attitude”, roll up his sleeves, work on improving the American workers life/safety/future. ….. Its a huge task, and we do NOT need him dealing with “peeing contests”. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.
