GM Says It Was Unaware Of Trump Plan To Use Chevrolet Silverado HD For Speech

President Donald Trump addressed the media on the lawn of the White House this week and appeared in front of a display that included two 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD pickup trucks.
On South Lawn, WH seeks to make a political point by setting up a crane lifting the weights of regulation from the bed of a “red” truck, while showing the burden of regulations weighing down a “blue” truck. pic.twitter.com/OoWmRPnWum

The display featured a heavy set of weights sitting in the bed of a blue Silverado HD, along with a crane labeled ‘Trump Administration’ lifting an identical pair of weights out of the bed of an adjacent red Silverado HD. The intention was to demonstrate how the Trump Administration’s looser regulatory framework can help to remove some of the legal burdens American businesses face. The blue truck also had a banner that read “40 Years of Regulatory Burden” while the red truck had a banner that said “4 Years of Regulatory Freedom.”
Jalopnik was curious how the Trump Administration obtained the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks and if General Motors was involved in the planning and execution of the display, so they reached out to the automaker over the matter. It turns out GM didn’t know about it, but the automaker did seem to appreciate the small bit of free publicity.
“Actually, we weren’t aware of the event beforehand but looks like they chose a great truck,” a GM spokesperson told Jalopnik in an emailed statement.
Jalopnik also reached out to the Trump Administration’s media team for more backstory on the trucks – such as where they came from and if they were loaned to the White House or rented, but it did not immediately hear back. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD was introduced fairly recently, so it’s possible these trucks came from a local dealership, but we’re only speculating.
One White House correspondent with CBS News, Mark Knoller, said Trump expressed fondness over the Chevy truck display, quoting him in saying the message was “quite simple and quite good.” He eventually became a bit concerned with how close the crane was to him, though, joking that he didn’t like “that big sucker hanging over my head,” and saying he wants to “get out of here as fast as possible.”
Both of the Silverado HD trucks appear to be Crew Cab models with the Standard Length bed and available Z71 off-road package. Judging by the chrome grille and mirror caps, they also appear to be the well-equipped LTZ trim level.

There goes the Neighborhood, I’ll buy a FORD F450 SUPER DUTY PLATINUM
Dramatic much mate? What are you a female? I would expect them to react that way haha. Besides what type of MAN is so easily influenced by other people to the extent that what they endorse influences his choices?
The positive thing I can say is at least you will be buying American still.
Am the kind of MAN that does my JOB unlike Trump, No one has ever advertise for other companies inside the oval office or outside the White House. His JOB is to work with and listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci to fight this virus and protect the America people, Do you understand the Oath of Office he took.What Trump is doing is not funnie or cute in the moment, It’s Disgraceful Chevrolet should be Offended as the Bishops was with his photo opp in front of the church
He also praised ford co. In one of his speeches, so what are you going to do now buy a dodge
Republicans can’t go 4 years without putting the economy in a recession. So I will be putting off all major purchases until Forest Trump is out of the White House.
Your obviously not the sharpest pencil in pack. The only reason why the economy took a dive is because of the Coronavirus. Trump had the US economy humming until one country spread its virus to 183 country’s.
I’m smart enough not to fall for Trump’s B.S, and you are not. Trump piled on the debt in a time of piece and prosperity. Same thing he did at his many bankrupt businesses.
Trump didn’t pile on that debt. That’s the Democrat’s playbook working out. They’re the one’s creating the budget and using CNN and MSNBC to steer the debate into forcing huge government handouts. The Dems had control of the presidency and senate and what did they do??? It WASNT BALANCING THE BUDGET! They were too busy creating dozens of entitlement programs for BUMS!
Since Trump took office, the National Debt has grown from $21 trillion to $26 trillion.
Given enough time Trump’s Economic plan will bankrupt the country.
Peter G, it’s already bankrupt. I guess you were ok when Obama increased the National Debt 9 Trillion during his regime. Go sell that f’n BS somewhere else bubbaroo…. You’re obviously a good little democratic sheep….
Much of that debt is from rebuilding the military after Obama tore the military down to WW1 levels.
Eric
Really? the whole “Tax breaks for Billionaires thing” are we supposed to ignore that.
Obama’s military was fighting wars in: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lydia and backing up our Ukrainian allies against Russian insurgents.
Trump’s Military is fighting in Portland. We where much stronger under Obama.
The economy was booming because of the short sighted policies of the GOP. Anyone with a basic understanding of economics sees the warning signs. Governments are designed to run huge deficits during a recession. Government revenues go way down — fewer people working and paying taxes. Those that are still working are often earning less — fewer hours, no overtime, no bonuses, etc. — and paying less taxes. Ditto for businesses. On the other hand, expenditures to up — programs like welfare and unemployment are counter-cyclical by design. So deficits during a recession are huge. To prevent deficits from ballooning forever with dire consequences, during the good times, ideally you should run an offsetting surplus — or at least run smaller and smaller deficits. The fact that the US is running record deficits in good times means that when the next recession hits, the yearly deficit will balloon much greater — regardless of who the next president is — with dire long term consequences
Why so sexist? Sounds like you’re insecure in your own “manhood”.
Murica! Truck Yeahh!
I was going to accuse this of being heavy handed and low brow, but then I remembered who the President is.
Trump is advertising Chevy Trucks and Gorya Beads while 140,000 people are dead, maybe he should use those trucks to pull the dead body in Freezer Trailer in Arizona, Florida, and Texas to their Resting Place
Advertising those beans, my lord. Does no one realize that that’s straight up illegal? But nothing will be done because he’s done other illegal things that are worse but didn’t get reprimanded for those either.
It’s kind of scary how he is so willing to do boast and brag about being above the law and can do whatever he wants. Dangerous situation.
Yet “top of his class” lying POS Biden says it’s *his* right to violate every American’s constitutional rights by essentially banning every semi-automatic firearm. He says it’s his RIGHT to violate the essential rights guaranteed to EVERY LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN. Joe Biden is a low-life POS politican that thinks he can re-write the documents that our founding fathers wrote, giving us the basic rights that guaranteed basic human rights. THAT is the kind of low-life POS that Biden is. He’s human garbage and a LIAR.
Frank
Biden isn’t lying! He really is planning to ban semi-automatic weapons. Because dumb Fking republicans like yourself give their kids access to these weapons, and they keep shooting up schools.
Your cult leader defecates on the constitution every day. He has now even used the US military against US citizens. What a complete disgrace.
There are more people dead mate! Since recorded human history, I reckon at least 80 billion people are dead. With resting places everywhere, including the ocean.
The 140k dead number is complete BS. 90+ year old people that were already on their death beds due to terminal health issues pass away, they test positive for covid after they pass away, and their death is counted towards the total even if they never even showed a single symptom from the virus.
You’re clearly suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Stop watching vile garbage like CNN and MSNBC.
Yep everything is fake news. Wait until your family members start keeling over. Will that be enough for you to realize that you have been duped by a fool?
Only brainless dullards believe that woke garbage CNN and MSNBC are passing off as “news” and “facts”.
Motormouth Shapy running on fumes again (I don’t like CNNN either BTW) , all you have to do is get him mad to make him walk off the set like last year against an older British reporter.
Meanwhile the left simply avoid any actual debate with conservatives. They just shriek “racist” instead of debating actual ideas. Kind of like how you attack Ben Shapiro INSTEAD of providing any real argument against the BIAS of sh_t “news” outlets like CNN or MSNBC. They are utter sh_t because they are “woke” activists, not journalistic outlets with actual moral grounding. They’re Fox News but worse.
I’m always gonna disagree with opposite views because it’s America, it’s Constitutional to disagree until agreement. Unlike Shap trap that grandstand by overtaking opponents that doesn’t see right-wing ways even if is conservative, left or independent and turn red-in-the face if on sentence go his way. His part of sensation news also and it needs to stop.
@Roy Chiles … The 12 states with the highest Coronavirus death rates are controlled by governors from the Democratic Party, not by President Trump. And Texas, Arizona, and Florida aren’t numbered with those 12 states.
What exactly are the so-called “job-killing regulations” that Trump spoke about that are now gone? Seems to me that capitalism is the biggest job-killer seeing as how one of its principal tenants is to maximize profits while minimizing labor costs, i.e. sending jobs overseas.
Yes communism works so well in the past. We should eliminate an imperfect but impactful economic system for one that is known worldwide to be a total disaster.
China is the largest economy in the world and are now expanding at a furious pace. They have conquered the virus while the US has lost all credibility around the world. Looks a lot like a Soviet style collapse coming soon to the US leaving China as the sole Superpower like the world has never seen.
How long until they fly the sickle and hammer over the White House? Russia already controls politics in the US…
China hasn’t conquered anything. They still have covid outbreaks and lock downs. They aren’t even counting half of the cases. If someone tests positive but doesn’t have symptoms, they aren’t counted as cases. Whereas in the US, the dems have the CDC counting people that die after having a heart attack but weren’t allowed to be taken to the hospital because it’s being used to treat covid patients. Or counting people that die in motorcycle accidents as covid deaths (florida). US hospitals have an incentive to list as many deaths as possible as “complications due to covid-19” because they get thousands of dollars in federal compensation for each covid death.
Most new Covid 19 cases are being reported in republican states. So this whole conspiracy theory of yours isn’t worth a crap.
Very true Peter G,
So hopefully the red states better get their Clorox injections ready as well as their UV lights, so that they can insert them up their backsides just like Trump instructed them to. 🤣😂🤣
What you have written is completely false CJB. China conquered the virus at the end of March with a massive military campaign. With the US busy at home, the Chinese are expanding their influence all over the world. Their economy is in full growth again while the US is shutting down and drowning in debt.
Did you know that the US military is now being crippled by Covid? That’s being kept quiet.
China is not yet the largest economy, only the second one. But the largest country by population numbers> 1.4 thousand million, followed by India with 1.3 thoousand million and 3rd place USA with 340 million.
Big question for USAnians since 1945: who lost China?
How soon we forget. In Trump’s first few months, he promised to remove at least two federal government regulations, for every existing regulation. In fact, after he was done doing this, it was 3 government regulations removed for every single regulation left in it’s place. This was completed in the first year of the Trump presidency. CNN and other MSM don’t report the success of the Trump administration. So, stop watching CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and the other leftist media outlets, to find out the truth. Even the bible tells you, “The truth will set you free”.
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS are the absolute worst. Look no further than the other day when they intentionally run headlines saying the White House wasn’t going to let science get in the way of re-opening schools. They all neglected to mention that in the very next sentence, she cited a scientific study from a highly reputable medical journal that supported re-opening school. Just like the media claimed Trump never once mentioned George Floyd in his speech when in reality 25% of his speech was dedicated to George Floyd and actions he directed the government to make to prevent deaths like that in the future.
It’s no surprise that the media would turn this into a big deal, hounding GM over the fact Trump used two of their trucks during a speech.
Let me guess..Fox “News” is your sole source for clarity…right?
Says the cuck watching MSNBC every day.
Looks like there’s still no cure for Trump derangement syndrome. The world will be cleared of Covid before people stop melting about the 2016 election.
Lots of weird things happening this year. 2020 will be the first time in my life that I vote republican. Never thought that day would come. I’ll be back when Democrats put the radical Marxist wing of the party back into the gutter where it belongs.
That vote will be a loss of effort. He will not be re-elected.
I consider myself a pretty liberal left-winger, but Biden doesn’t stand a snowballs chance in hell. The current democrats have really lost touch with and alienated a lot of their voter base.
i don’t buy that. trump is a POS and he is going to lose.
You are the POS. A vote for Biden is a vote for handing the United States over to Marxists and the Chinese Communists. He’s already defended the Chinese in speeches during the primary and his son has a $1.5 BILLION dollar investment deal with the CCP. Biden is enthusiastic in violating basic constitutional rights guaranteed to every American while ALSO promising to divert funding away from the police. The Democrats say you don’t need the right to own firearms to protect yourself because you should just call police when criminals threaten to kill your family, yet they ALSO say that the police are racists and murderers that need to have their funding cut. Which is it? Are we supposed to protect ourselves with harsh words???? Biden is an old senile fool living in a gated community. HE. DOESN’T. CARE. HE’S FINE WITH CONFISCATING YOUR CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF WHILE ALSO CUTTING FUNDING FOR THE PEOPLE HE SAYS MIGHT PROTECT YOU. What an IGNORANT FOOOL BIDEN IS!!!!
Even a disgruntled dem isn’t voting red. There’s something called a safety vote, anything to get the warmonger out. Biden has nearly a 15% lead in the advance polls.
Trump will be in jail by November
Creepy pedo Joe isn’t going to be elected. He forgets he’s even running for president most days.
Then you will vote for the serial rapist?
We have an especially stupid one here. I laugh in your face. Serial rapist. Oh my , what next?
You’re talking about Biden right? He’s the one that gropes his staff, gropes underage girls for photo-ops, gropes and sniffs women from the DNC, talks about how he loves little kids bouncing in his lap, etc.
Frank,
The orange Baboon has 26 recorded sexual assaults and has said many times that he dreams of f* cking his daughter. And then there’s the underage girls and hookers while his wife was pregnant. The list is endless.
When will dopey Don stop killing Americans
Im pretty sure all of the people downvoting you will be voting for trump, and you have more thumbs down than up…
Lol an automotive forum is hardly a good metric for political leaning.
Double-digit IQ individuals like yourself also claimed that Hilary was a guaranteed win. Your just another delusional Dem looking for welfare checks while you bum off the actual workers in the US.
Franky,
I’m sure you’ll be even more angry when you spend your waking hours lined-up at a food bank while screaming at visions of Hilary.
It’s a shame you’re listening to what Trump says the dems are doing, instead of looking up what the dems are actually doing. “They’re going to ABOLISH the police and the suburbs!” LOL yeah sure, that’s whats happening. This post shows that fear tactics still work in 2020 somehow.
When it comes to elections, watch it with the sound off and just watch the candidates faces. You will SEE the winner everytime
Obama’s housing policies ARE going to destroy the suburbs. They are designed to aggressively increase the density of suburbs by funding public housing projects in suburban neighborhoods, hand over control of suburbs to the nearby city governments, etc. I bet you’re too intellectually lazy to actually bother to research any of that though. You would rather just blame the orange man for all your problems while conveniently ignoring the endless policy failures of your own political party.
National debt exploding; Race Riots; Covid 19 raging out of control; hundreds of thousands of businesses will never reopen; states bidding against each other for PPE. We are living in a Hunger Games meets Jumanji universe.
And you think a few poor people moving to your town is the end of the world. LOL!
You Republicans just keep getting dumber and dumber. It won’t be long until you all collectively forget how to breath.
Race riots created by the racist Democrats.
Covid-19 that came from a Chinese cover-up. Joe Biden accused Trump of racism for creating travel bans to stop the spread. Democrat Bill de Blasio told New Yorkers that it was just a cold and that they should continue on with their lives in mid-March. Democrat Cuomo sent thousands of elderly with covid-19 to nursing homes where they spread the virus and killed thousands of people.
The Dems pissed and moaned that Trump should use the Defense Production
Act to make more masks. So he did. When the Canadians began to piss and moan that the DPA caused them get cut off from the supply of US-made masks, the DEMOCRATS turned around and began to attack Trump for using the DPA to secure N95 masks. WHICH WAY DO THEY WANT IT??? They can’t have it both ways and it exposes just what unintelligent imbeciles make up the Democratic Party. They want masks and demand that Trump uses the DPA to secure masks, yet when he does just that, they attack him for channeling masks that were being exported. They attacked Trump for major shortage of ventilators, yet by the end of May THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF VENTILATORS. Just that idiot loser Cuomo trying to pump up his own ego after slaughtering thousands of elderly New Yorkers with his own incompetence. Meanwhile Trump’s leadership resulted in so many US-MADE VENTILATORS that we’re now a NET EXPORTER of ventilators. MORONS LIKE YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO PROCESS SUCH BASIC INFORMATION!
You’re a f*cking idiot. Look up what your president has said about Mexicans, Black people, Asians. But yup the dems are racist. Spending time in the comment section on this website has killed enough of my brain cells, this’ll be the last comment I make on this subject. Once your POS POTUS gets voted out in November, the US will no longer be a global laughing stock. The entire civilized world is laughing at you, especially those who support this as*hole. He’s the president and we can’t change that until the election, but worshiping him like he’s Jesus F*cking Christ is troubling to say the least. Come November he’ll go back to his tower where he belongs and he’ll be remembered as the biggest, darkest stain in the modern history of the United States, a once great country that has become infatuated with a reality tv star who the people believe is their savoir.
@ member12
You’re lying. You never strongly supported Democrats. If that is true, what was it you used to love so much about the Democratic Party? How old are you? How long have you been voting? Who was the first presidential candidate you ever voted for?
member 12,
Will 1 million dead Americans convince you? How about when your entire family end up in freezer trucks? Or that they pick-up dead bodies on your street with garbage trucks. Only fools fail to see reality or people subjugated in a cult.
The 12 states with the highest Coronavirus death rates are controlled by governors from the Democratic Party, not by President Trump. And Obama ran the national debt up by nearly 10 TRILLION dollar$, yet, it’s very hard to figure out where all that money was spent on. It sure wasn’t spent on the military or on infrastructure. It was probably spent on his Deep State government.
First there is a crane labeled ‘Trump Administration’ then he didn’t like “that big sucker hanging over my head,” and saying he wants to “get out of here as fast as possible.” . So he is afraid of his own Administration?
At the end of the event they used the crane to lift Donnie’s ego back in to the w/h.
That’s asking a lot of the crane!
Haha, I see a bunch of little sheep in the comment section, while the stock market continues to climb…
Hurry go run to CNN or MSNBC to try to justify why the economy still is strong during one of the biggest pandemics in history. And before you try to say this economy is a result of the Obama Administration, that argument has already been refuted.
Snowflakes in full force lol
Brother, the stock market is NOT the only factor in your economy’s health. 20 million Americans missed their last mortgage or rent payment, and they’re likely to miss another because they’re not being brought back to work. BUT THE STOCK MARKET BRO, you’re misinformed. Tragically misinformed.
Haha yeah, you’re right man, a strong stock market has nothing to do with unemployment. Lol, seriously? 20 million Americans who missed their last mortgage? I’m sorry but you cannot have it both ways, do we open up and allow people to make their mortgage or do we stay sheltered in our homes like democratic governors command? What do you expect to happen when you shut everything down? As for the presidents response, CONGRESS passed the CARE act that provided a stimulus check and $600 was added to unemployment checks. The last I remember, Democrats demanded 25 million dollars of the bill to go toward the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts? Hmmm…
Even with all this, the economy is strong, which means when we do open up, there will be jobs. So I would definitely say that there is a correlation between a strong stock market and unemployment.
The president also pulled out of the WHO, has decided to take the info to the white house from the CDC, so the info you’re getting won’t be legitimate anymore. Has said that more testing leads to more cases (Which literally makes 0 sense) I hate, I absolutely hate that this has been politicized because that’s NOT what this is about. It’s not a left vs right issue. It’s the simple FACT that most other countries in the world have done a much MUCH better job than the US in slowing the spread. It’s not about shutting down until it goes away, it’s never been about that! It’s about putting in the proper protocols and mandating mask wearing across the board. It’s that simple, people need to stop touting that their freedom is being infringed upon by these mandates. And yes the market and unemployment are obviously related, but the stock market is literally professional speculation about businesses, it’s all based on hearsay and rarely on facts.
You’re all over the place. Your original comment complained about Americans struggling due to not returning to work and unable to pay their mortgage and suggested that the stock market wasn’t a large importance when it comes to unemployment. For the latter, I pointed out that there is definitely a correlation between the two and pointed out that you cannot criticize unemployment rates when you promote staying home and closing things down.
Now you’re bringing up the WHO and CDC etc without addressing my above points. Without writing an essay responding to your new “facts”, it’s important to note that our country is much different than other countries. For one, the United States consists of multiple states that set their own individual legislative decisions. In addition, we’re a democratic country that historically allows citizens the freedoms to decide what’s best for themselves. Compare this to a communist China, they shut down everything without much resistance. You can argue they did the correct thing, but their government has the authority to do whatever they want.
Lastly, since you’re pointing out how horribly Trump and his response team handled the situation, it would be irresponsible not to compare what Biden would do if he was in this situation. I understand he has been out of the spotlight for the last three months, but he originally called Trump a xenophobic for closing down travel from China. I’m going out on a limb here, but I would argue we would’ve had many more deaths if dementia Joe was in office when the virus started to appear in the United States.
You lose all credibility when you parrot Trump’s way of giving asinine nicknames to people. We’re not comparing it to China, we’re comparing it to the rest of the capitalist world. Canada, pretty much all of Europe.
Gotta love the anti-Trump people eh? Trump is apparently the first president in history to be responsible for EVERYTHING that happens in individual states! If things are going well, he’s blamed for them not going well enough. If things go bad, it’s his fault too. Amazing that people still bring up the proven false (yet funded by the Clinton camp) dossier for Russia collusion. Dems complained when Trump shut down travel, saying it shouldn’t be done, then 180’d and said he should have done it sooner. In typical political fashion, it’s never the dems fault for anything. I honestly don’t trust ANY politician, Republican OR Democrat! They all lie at some point to get what they seek, and a majority of them flip-flop as needed to win. Granted, there are a LOT of deaths from this GLOBAL pandemic, the likes of which have not been seen in most of our lifetimes. Point the blame at the Chinese government for hiding the truth (and still doing so) about it. At the same time, the flu, whichever strain happens to make it to America, kills 40-80 thousand people each and every year, but that’s okay, because we have a vaccine right?
Bottom line that I see … PRIOR to this pandemic, this country was far better off in 3 years than in the previous 8 years, and more.
COMPLETELY FALSE. YOU’RE AN IDIOT. Official statistics show that the economy grew at a much faster pace during the 8 years before Trump and was actually declining in the last 3 years. Without massive increase in stimulating the economy by increasing government debt, the economy was heading into a recession prior the virus. Now it is heading for a complete collapse in the coming months. But cult followers like you usually disregard facts.
Really Bert? Because as I recall listening for the first 2-3 years of the Obama/Biden administration, things apparently weren’t good and they continually blamed the previous administration. So going from that regard, it’s the obama/Biden administration’s fault for the poor performance then right? Here’s another demonstration of how dems/left learners like to change things as needed to make themselves sound better when needed.
Paulie
I heard that Trump eats dead babies. Corpses from hospitals and abortion clinics that used to go to the CDC for stem cell research are now being delivered to the White House.
Amazing! I suppose you have the CNN facts used for what you “heard” right? I bet you’re one of those people that bought some oceanfront property in Arizona too.
I get all my news from Fox. I have a crush on one of the local Chicago reporters (Elizabeth Mathews) Listening to other news casts would be like cheating on her.
BadCad, stop listening to the Dems. Trump is NOT Chinese. Trump did not develop or spread the Wuhan flu, known as Covid19. The shutdown of the economic recovery is not Trump’s fault, as you try to pretend that it’s his fault. Stop listening to Pelosi. Her dad was the Mafia guy in Baltimore, so she thinks like her daddy, screw everyone else.
TDS snowflakes, upset because they know Biden is a terrible candidate for president.
You’re aware that Trump is a reality tv star correct? But you want to talk about terrible candidates? Hahaha
Ronald Reagan was a TV star … and one of the best presidents we’ve had. Even Obama wanted to be like him!
Reagan gave us:
– exploding budget deficits
– exploding trade deficits
– millions of American jobs moving overseas
His administration sold weapons to IRAN. Used the money to fund a private army, purposed to overthrow the rightfully elected government of Nicaragua.
And was afflicted with Alzheimer’s while launching an arms race which threatened all of humanity.
Biden is a political hack that literally said that money should be diverted away from police departments across the country just as cities ran by democrats are exploding in crime and riots. NYC is a battle zone right now and the Democrats have turned their back on the police that brave the streets to make the place safe for everyone. Same thing goes for all the other major cities across the US. Ran by Democrats that allow criminals out of prison because of covid, pull funding from police departments, and then defend the criminals, looters, and rioters burning down small businesses.
Justin
Trump is the moron who refuses to wear a mask. He deserves 100% of the credit for the $h!thole economy we got.
You are a moron that shouldn’t even receive the taxpayer-funded welfare checks you no doubt collect every week. You’re a bum and a loser.
Frank is looking in the mirror again. His meds and delusions have him thinking that it’s someone else.
“Taxpayer funded welfare check” LOL
I live in the big city. Where taxes are high and pay checks are fat. The tiny checks the government is mailing out wouldn’t even pay my bar tab.
Maybe you should apply to get a few of those “Taxpayer funded welfare checks” gather up enough of them and you’ll be able to afford a double wide trailer to match your double wide wife.
Sounds like you have a drinking problem. Can’t blame you with the state of the world nowadays. No reason to stoop to their level throwing around insults though.
It’s widely understood that the US government, state, and local governments make purchases through a “low-bidder” procurement process. They send out RFPs or bid requests and ask vendors to submit an offer. They generally don’t spec a brand but just that they need, for instance, two full-size, half-ton trucks. By nature of the process, governments usually get the less desirable brands that vendors are willing to sell more cheaply. If the US Government purchased Chevrolet’s it was most likely because the proposal from local Ford and Ram dealers would’ve cost more. Read into that what you may.
We know that federal government trucks are 99 percent Work Truck WT type models, so they didn’t buy these two high end trucks, they borrowed them or rented them for a day or two.
The lowest bid came from Ford, but the couple of F250s broke down on the way to the event so they brought in reliable trucks instead.
Read much? GM executive said they did not know about this … and if you did your homework, Ford & Dodge are both usually cheaper than Chevrolet… and less expensive too! Read into it what you will.
I think it’s possible GM provided the trucks. Trump says something good in a speech and tweets something that pisses off 80% the country. I think he’s just a troll in that regard.but why wouldn’t he want to use a Chevy truck,especially the HD which I think are made in Michigan.Another reason why GM might be making Cadillac all EV is to balance out regulations so you build big gas cars and trucks to meet whatever standards
Another GM truck that will be famous, an all black 21′ Tahoe PPV Trump will be taken away out the White House in January……my apologies 😉.
It’s all good your Forgiven that’s the only Chevrolet I want to see him in haha
In handcuffs preferably
Like the previous “not born in Hawaii” president we suffered under for 8 years? Oh wait … in very Clinton-esque fashion, anyone that could provide truth to the fact either died mysteriously or was killed.
But Trump eats dead babies.
Fried in KFC batter. 😂
Because Ford is going to stop making police spec vehicles… if they listen to their factory workers. Maybe those workers should be made aware of just how many jobs would be lost if they did that. Maybe 211,000 vehicles over the past 6 years won’t hurt anyone at all though
Trump 2020 Trump is like a Chevy truck strong and nothing let’s it take it down
Trump has some marbles rolling around he is just not a stable individual look at the mess we’re in this country.
The country has been amazing the last 3 years. The current mess would be a lot worse considering Biden was the one condemning Trump for the travel bans. Every time a journalist asked Biden what he would have done that would have made the response better, it’s been nothing but empty political phrases like “listen to the experts”, which is exactly what Trump has been doing. Biden criticized him about the federal stockpile but it was the Obama administartion that left that a mess… extremely apparent when the N95 masks that were in the stockpile expired in 2010!! The Dem governors made a massive uproar over ventilators and how we didn’t have enough. We have so many ventilators now that the US has been sending the extras to other countries for over a month now. When the leftist crybabies were whining about Trump not using the Defense Production Act to get more masks, he used it and they became outraged when they realized that using the DPA inadvertently caused 3M mask plants in the US to stop shipping masks to other countries. They attacked him for being heartless and cutting off the supply of masks to other countries. The left are idiots.
You Muricans are so divided. That’s why you are extremely easy to manipulate and conquer. Lol
Symbolically this doesn’t make sense. The Silverado HD was made to haul heavy loads. A Silverado HD with an empty bed is useless.
Great to read all your comments. But after doing so, all I can imagine is to take all the GM Trucks, Chevrolet & GMC along with Ford and Dodges and haul all the S_ _ T out of the big cities of Oregon Washington California Chicago and New York. I’ve lived in one of them all my life! and its sad to see when the local governments now allow to have homeless S _ _ T in the aisle of a Safeway Store (in SF), burn down our buildings and shops, tear down statues and take aim at the fact we have the strongest military in the world. These are our family brothers and sisters of all colors nationalities and heritages. One family under God! Lets respect the Military our family and neighbors and build our country up. Not tear it down. Trump 2020!
California is the shining beacon of the Democratic party. Homeless tent cities, sky-high costs of living, welfare capital of the United States. It’s no wonder so many people are fleeing California. I just hope the Californians don’t ruin Texas with broken leftist politics.
The wife and I went to San Francisco last year. What an absolute hell hole. Bums literally sh_tting in the streets. Everything cost 3 to 4 times more than it should. Welcome to the Democrat’s idea of paradise.
Frank,
Let’s be honest here, the democrats don’t have a monopoly of sh ! t holes in the US…
Wacky leftist cut their nose off to spite their face🤣
And ofcourse the sales of these HDs only went up from now and into the future just because of him…. Forget prior quarters, it was all because of what he just did.
Don’t forget folks all because of him.
Because of him HDs sales are up.
Woops… Repeat again, it was him that their sales went up.
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat the m.o. and it will be a fact.
Just like Ford didn’t take any “bailout money” right? Go do a lil more homework on that topic too and you’ll find some quite dramatic results, but a great political move by Ford to hide it the way they did.
Ford is the only American automaker to NOT declare bankruptcy. That is fact pure and simple and you can’t spin that around. GM and Chrysler DECLARED FULL BANKRUPTCY PERIOD!!!!!!!
Bert, you must be a politician, as you spun to bankruptcy, but I said “bailout” money. So, technically speaking, Ford took TARP money, but weren’t forced into bankruptcy because they sold off a bunch of other “brands” to avoid the big B … but it’s because they did it before Uncle Barack was involved (yes, I know Bush was president, but Barack was in Congress voting for the money). Bankruptcy forced at the hand of the federal government for GM & Chrysler do a little more research. (Google “did Ford use TARP funds” and you might be shocked at the actual amount they DID get from it!) Both companies (GM & Chrysler) had a plan they were going to exercise to avoid bankruptcy, but their plans were rejected & they were forced into bankruptcy.
Paulie,
What saved Ford from Bankruptcy was that they started reorganizing before the financial crisis. And they also happened to significantly increase their lines of credit. Was it a fluke of timing or competence for acting? Maybe a bit of both.
In terms of tarp, what the auto industry got was minuscule compared to the banks. Suppliers got tarp also. If they didn’t, all that business would have gone to Koreans and the Chinese because most major suppliers would have gone bankrupt.
If you look today, everybody is getting money whether they need it or not. If you’re friends of the party, you get more. Starting to look a lot like the Soviet Union.
Can’t disagree with you about everyone getting money! And don’t even get me started on the mortgage & insurance companies! I wonder why they weren’t forced into bankruptcy to restructure… because they received hella more money than all 3 automakers combined.
Ford still hasn’t paid back the money they were given in the form of a 0% interest “loan”. I put loan in quotes because loans are supposed to be paid back and neither Ford nor the US gov seem to be in a rush to get the taxpayer’s money back. Even if the bums at Ford did get around to paying it back, the taxpayer will have lost hundreds of millions of dollars since the “loan” was provided at a nearly zero percent interest rate.
Trump 2020! Simple as. Funny thing, both Trump and his haters here (yes haters) have more in common when it comes to US automobile manufacturing and manufacturing in general than not. The industrial base in the US is not at the level it should be, and needs to be restored expanded and strengthened. The infrastructure is lagging, Trump is the man to rebuild national infrastructure, as it’s a core part of his platform.
You Trump haters need to get of your high horses, you’re just as guilty of what you yourselves accuse Trump of. The DNC has made an unholy alliance with far left fringe groups such as the main one named Antifa to create mayhem mischief and chaos. The DNC is pushing a veritable shell of a man who is physically and mentally unfit to lead. It’s not like we sensible people dont see this! To my American patriots; stand fast and be resolute! Restore American manufacturing. Rebuild infrastructure. Defend freedom of speech. Defend freedom of worship. Expand economic activity. Return to the moon. Mars exploration and colonization. Lets do it!🚀⭐
Lots of talk and no action. The baboon can’t even defend a country against a virus. All he does all day is watch TV, Tweet, lie, BS and attack people. Absolutely nothing positive for the country. Bush left the country with a financial collapse and two losing wars. The orange baboon’s contribution will be a divided country paralysed by an ignored medical emergency and Americans dying like flies. And lets not forget, an economy which will be in near collapse by the end of the year with Americans lining-up for food banks for miles and miles.
Go back to Obama & sleepy Joe’s administration. Concerns were raised about the wuhan facility years before Trump took office… concerns about their safety protocols (or lack there of) by medical researchers here in the United States. I know, I know… if ANYTHING happens on the entire planet while Trump is president, it’s HIS fault, right?
People are lining up for food banks because the Dems want the country locked down and businesses closed. Unless it’s to protest. If it’s to protest, the virus is no longer a threat and social distancing no longer important. More hypocrisy from the party that also says you don’t have a right to own firearms to protect yourself because you can just call the police if you’re in danger… but also want to slash police department funding while also restricting all the methods police are trained to use to subdue dangerous criminals.
EXACTLY. Biden says “you can’t have that” when it comes to exercising basic constitutional rights to protect your family, yet he also tells the law enforcement community that they won’t be getting any support from him because of one racist POS dude in Minneapolis (Democratic-Run BTW). In the neighborhoods I lived in, the police are 10 minutes away. That’s 10 minutes with criminals that the Democrats released from prison “due to Covid” tearing through a hosue while the scared-to-death family waits for the police in absolute terror. The Democrats don’t care. They made that clear when they continued to defund the police while criminals ran the streets and slaughtered dozens of innocent people
The leftist media were certainly quick to kill off their COVID-19 blame game and cheer on the protests. Any suggestion that COVID-19 might be worsened because the the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CRAMMED INTO PROTEST CROWDS with only a portion of them actually wearing masks was not mentioned in any of their coverage. Literally every looter in Minneapolis was bumping into other looters as the climbed into and out of windows with arms full of stuff, none of them wearing masks. Yet the “woke” leftist media were trying to claim that protests and looting had NO effect on covid-19. The same “woke” leftist morons tell US that COVID-19 is a highly transmissible deadly virus that will KILL YOU if you don’t wear a mask and maintain a 6 foot social distance, yet they say that rioters and looters crowded in the streets, screaming chanting and sh_ting in alleys together didn’t contribute in any way to the huge spike in cases. I can’t tell if they’re ABSOLUTE MORONS or PATHOLOGICAL LIARS!
Speaking of the all time ultimate scumbag of liars, POTUS has now exceeded 20,000 confirmed lies by factcheck.com and many others. Basically diarrhea oozing from his pie hole.
