Trump’s Broken Promise to General Motors | The Daily Show
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah:
General Motors.
It's not just the least popular
Transformers character,
it's also one of America's
biggest car manufacturers.
But now, they're in the news
for what cars they're not
gonna be making.
Thousands
of General Motors workers
will have little reason to
celebrate this holiday season.
TV REPORTER: Facing slumping
sales, General Motors
will stop making six
underperforming sedans
by the end of next year,
idling plants in Ohio,
Michigan, Maryland,
and Ontario, Canada.
TV REPORTER: Six passenger cars
reaching the end of the road:
the Cadillac XTS and CT6,
the Buick LaCrosse,
and Chevy's Impala, Cruze,
and hybrid Volt.
General Motors chose its words
very carefully,
not saying that they were
closing the Lordstown plant,
but rather,
they weren't allocating
a product to the plant
after March.
Oh, thank God.
I thought they were
shutting down the plants,
but I guess they're just not
"allocating products" there
anymore.
I wish I could use that language
when I breakup with someone.
"Look, I'm-I'm not ending
the relationship.
"I'm just not allocating any
love for you after March.
Yeah, basically, I'm relocating
my penis to other locations."
But that's right.
GM is killing off six
of their cars,
like the Chevy Volt, yeah.
The electric car
that tells everyone
"The line at the Tesla store
was too long,
so I just said (bleep) it."
Or the Chevy Impala, which looks
like a sports car made love
to a station wagon and neither
of them were satisfied.
And of course, the Cadillac XTS,
it's as close as you can get
to riding in a hearse
without being dead.
Look at that thing.
But, honestly, the one car,
the one car that I'll be glad
to never see again is
the Chevy Cruze,
because every time I go
to rent a car,
I somehow always end up
with a Chevy Cruze.
And you know what they do
is they trick you, right?
'Cause what they say is
"BMW or similar."
And then when I get there,
they give me a Chevy Cruze.
I'm like, "How's the BMW, BMW
similar to a Chevy Cruze?"
They go, "Oh, it's got four
wheels, you can sit in it."
This is bullshit.
I hate that car.
I feel like one day I'm gonna
rent a house on Airbnb
and they're gonna give me
a Chevy Cruze.
And I'll be like, "What the
hell? Where's my house?"
And they'll say, like, "Well, we
said 'beach house or similar.'
That's what we said."
So GM says because nobody
was buying it,
they're gonna stop making
the Chevy Cruze.
And honestly, I get it.
People don't want to drive a car
that shares a name with
Ted Cruz.
It's as simple as that.
Yeah. It's the same reason
nobody bought
the Ford Gaddafi, right?
No one wanted that car.
That car even looks like
a Gaddafi.
Look at that car.
It sounds like a Gaddafi, too.
I bet when you start it,
it's like,
(shouting gibberish)
And now, look, as much fun as it
is to roast GM and its cars,
the sad truth is--
and although you want to go
after the company--
because they're shutting down
so much production,
they're also shutting down
a lot of human's jobs.
TV REPORTER: GM cutting nearly
15,000 factory
and white collar jobs.
From GM's workers, the reaction
was swift and distraught.
There's people in there bawling
their eyes out.
I've never seen anything
like it.
I felt like somebody kicked me
in the stomach.
The bad thing is
to get this news
on the day after we come back
for Thanksgiving.
So being with our family
and our friends
and they they got
to come back to work
or wake up in the morning
and hear of this news,
it's not easy for everybody.
Right. Real people
who have lost their jobs.
People who are crying,
people who are angry.
And I mean, that last guy
really tells the story.
It's Thanksgiving,
and the next thing you know,
you don't have a job.
And I mean,
it was a little bit weird,
because he made it sound like
he wasn't just angry
about being fired,
he also was mad
that he had to wake up early to
get fired, which I agree with.
He was like, "Y'all couldn't
tell me I was fired last night?
I could have slept in. Shit."
And now, now, people are
pissed off for two reasons.
Right, one,
like all big corporations,
GM just got a huge tax cut.
But they didn't use that money
to protect these jobs.
No. They mostly used it
to prop up the price
of their own stock
through buybacks.
And, like,
we can't really be surprised
that a business
would do that, right?
Businesses always try
to maximize their profits.
That's what a business does.
Like, if a business
isn't making money,
it's either a charity
or Trump is running it.
That's how it works.
And speaking of Trump,
and speaking of Trump,
those thousands of GM workers
are particularly pissed off
at him
because he specifically promised
that if people voted for him,
he'd make sure
that GM added jobs.
General Motors announced
that they're adding
or keeping 900 jobs
right here in Michigan.
And that's just the beginning,
folks.
In fact,
I told them that's peanuts.
That's peanuts.
You're gonna see General Motors,
they're coming back.
Lot of companies
are coming back.
It's a good feeling.
It's a really good feeling.
Let me tell you folks
in Ohio and this area,
don't sell your house.
Don't sell your house.
We're gonna fill up
those factories
or rip them down
and build brand-new ones,
so it's gonna happen.
That did not happen
the way he promised it.
You know what the president
should have done?
He should have said,
"We're gonna give you
new factories or similar."
That's what he should have said.
So, it turns out
America's top used car salesman
clearly sold GM workers a lemon.
And if you think about it,
Trump's promises are
a lot like the Chevy Cruze:
you can sell them
as hard as you want,
but at the end of the day,
no one's buying it.
GM's potential production move to Mexico a bipartisan issue?
