Former President Trump’s Unusual Attacks on American Businesses

In a recent interview with Elon Musk, former President Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, leading many to question his capitalist values. Trump has a history of targeting iconic American companies like Apple, General Motors, John Deere, and Facebook, threatening them with tariffs and boycotts.

Recently, Trump targeted Deere for moving production to Mexico, threatening a 200% tariff. Experts warn that such actions hurt American farmers and violate Trump’s own trade deals. This pattern of bullying companies for personal gain raises concerns about what chaos and unpredictability could ensue if he returns to power.

Trump’s targeted approach to individual companies goes against traditional conservative philosophy and distorts markets. Threatening massive tariffs on American companies like Deere could have detrimental effects, making them less competitive globally and ultimately harming American workers and businesses.

Experts Warn of Violation of Trade Deals

The attack on Deere is not only harmful but also a potential violation of the USMCA trade agreement signed by Trump. Imposing a 200% tariff on Deere’s products could breach the agreement and create further challenges for American businesses operating in global markets.

As Trump continues his anti-capitalist tirade against American companies, it raises concerns about the future of business and trade relations under his leadership.
