Both Toyota and Honda had previously warned the Canadian government that without the USMCA they would shift production from Canada to the U.S. to avoid tariffs and secure long-term manufacturing stability. We presume a similar message was conveyed to Mexico.
Earlier today Toyota announced they were moving half of their Tacoma Truck production from Mexico to an expanded facility in Texas that will now encompass 5 million square feet in San Antonio.
(Bloomberg) — Toyota Motor Corp. is moving production of its popular Tacoma midsize truck from a plant in Mexico to San Antonio as part of a $3.6 billion investment in the Texas facility.
The Japanese carmaker will build a second production line in San Antonio, where it currently makes full-size pickups and SUVs, and add some 2,000 new jobs by 2030, it said Monday.
The shift, following Toyota’s pledge last year to spend $10 billion on its US manufacturing operations over the next decade, comes as talks between the US and Mexico to renew a North American free trade agreement have stalled. President Donald Trump, who has pressed Toyota to invest more in the US, let a July 1 deadline pass without a trade pact extension.
[…] By moving some production of its best-selling truck to Texas, Toyota will shield itself from the impact of tariffs on Mexican imports. Autos shipped from Mexico are subject to US duties as high as 25%, which has hit Toyota and other automakers’ bottom lines and upended decades of cross-border production planning.
The expansion in San Antonio, which is nearly twice as large as had been anticipated, will double the size of the plant to about 5 million square feet. And it will bring Toyota’s total spending at the site to $8.3 billion since it broke ground there 23 years ago. (read more)
The new Japanese PM seems to be filling Abe’s shoes just fine…
China-Da is not going to like what happens when the US kicks them to the curb.
The sooner the better you cannot trust China.
I have a couple friends in Canada that tell me news like this is heavily slanted by the CBC, if it’s even going to be reported.
Kinda just like here. Regardless, you know Carney is spinning.
And how is that different from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS, or MS”now full Commie”?
They are all in alignment…. our commies and theirs.
No difference at all, L4Grasshopper. USA-Different country, same propaganda machine pumpin’ it out with one huge difference.
Our President calls out the lying media every single day……while Carney embraces his lying media machine CUZ THAT’S ALL HE’S GOT UNTIL USMCA GOES BOOM! Then maybe the Canadians will see through his lies.
Meh…maybe not
We hope they will be able to see the truth.
It seems a majority have bought the victim role, instead of fighting.
Lack of God hardens the hearts so some can never see.
You hit the nail on the head. Until all the other countries elect leaders that call out their own news organizations for the lies, they will never prosper. It is a litmus test.
2 choices, Globalist or Honest leader…With a leader telling you lies, what do you expect to happen? How can you expect your country to heal and grow when your leaders are telling you lies?
CNN may change under Ellison…
Perhaps…we will just have to wait and see.
Meanwhile, get your news from various sources, all flavors, and hold your nose when necessary.
Add bbc, itv ,channel 4 and 5, sky, rte (ireland), france, germany – do I need to go on?
So true.
You know all the things we discuss on CTH and ask why are people more outraged.
Well most of the population never hears a woRd about those things.
And BSNOW is the worst of the worst.
The worldwide mainstream media is every freedom loving person’s enemy!
You mean like “…as talks between the US and Mexico to renew a North American free trade agreement have stalled.”
News like this doesn’t inform on reality, so it’s either purposeful propaganda or ignorance. Buyer beware.
Sundance has made this point over and over.
One must consider that the Carney types have descended so far into their screwed-up, one world delusions that they may truly believe their own bullsh*t.
Personally, I am coming to see that the globalists’ New World Order aspirations are far more sinister and deadly than simple, dystopian communism.
The Georgia Guidestones stated it clearly.
Elections have consequences.
And the next 2 national elections have STUPENDOUS consequences! POTUS Trump is far from perfect but when compared to what the Democrat/communists have in mind, we can’t afford to let any criticism affect our other voters. We MUST win!
Not sure what the backhanded slap is about “far from perfect”, what dies this guy have to do to even a modicum of praise.
I am weary of people giving POTUS the “backhanded compliment”. Jesus was the only perfect man who walked in the flesh on this earth so why bother with the “Trump is far from perfect” smear?
The intent is to insult PDJT and nothing else.
We may not all love his personality all the time, but I can tell you I definitely love his policies
One word,RESULTS
Except that he’s a bit verbose and somewhat long-winded, Donald Trump, as our President has been damn near perfect. For him to be so, in light of the impeachments, “kangaroo court hearings”, district judge interferences regarding every subject possible, Pravda/Volkisher Beobachter type press coverage, etc., etc., he has outperformed, for the good of the Republic, any president in my lifetime. Regards, Former U. S. Naval Flight Officer, 1970’s & 1980’s.
Personally … I don’t “do” Obama quotes … but that’s just me, I guess.
I love that phrase every time I hear it. And I think back to Obama saying it with his sarcastic smug demeanor.
So do stolen elections and the consequences are not good.
Sometimes! Depends upon whether or not Mr. Dominion shows up.
The ” fa and fo ” part is always so satisfying
Slowly at first (1/2 now) then all at once (the other 1/2).
Oh what a difference it makes for one country to have a savvy businessman/developer as president who loves his country versus one headed by an installed globalist banker who doesn’t have a clue and despises his.
Let’s see how well that new deal with Germany goes to build new $20-30 BILLION DOLLAR Submarine. The German manufacturing is closing massive auto manufacturing due to extremely high skilled labor (when they can find any) and their destruction of readily available extreme power needs. Them new AI robots need sufficient electricity and welding requires massive arc welding that solar panels can’t produce, and there is zero available at night. The cost overruns will be enough to bankrupt even more of what finances the Canadians can afford, and I doubt that Uncle Xi will be willing to co-build or assist in the costs associated with this blunder. Come join the USA western Canadian provinces, before there is a fire sale for all of your natural resources by Ottawa to fund this and all their immigration programs for DIVERSITY (DEI) replacement citizens.
For all our lovely, God fearing Canadian brothers and sisters in these branches who know what’s comong, I am so so sorry.
Nice headlines, I suppose, but reality has a stubborn way of butting in. Always.
Or even Almighty God Himself.
“Thou shall not have any other gods before Me.”
Canada, Europe, and the UK have many and varied…we’ll see.
Thank you for that, Betsy. You are such a great human being.
This place, Canada, the once proud, liberty/freedom minded piece of the world, has turned into a socialist nightmare. And as SD says, along with many others, it is going to get much, much worse, very quickly. These Globo/Homo Communists have ruined the place. I just dont see a way out, that doesnt require violence, truth be told. No one can vote their way out of this mess. Elections are NOT secure, and I truly believe, the last 2 elections were stolen. Just like they all have been, in the Western World, over the last bunch of years. Castro Jr and this clown, Carnage, are hated! Again, I repeat myself, I know absolutely noone in my life, period, who voted for this evil Communist filth…..either of them. How do they win when the majority hates them?
Im seriously considering, moving to America. On compassionate grounds. My countrys health care is an absolute mess. I need treatments sooner, rather than later. My situation is getting worse, although it was expected. I have been looking into experimental drugs and treatments, brought faster along, because of your great President. The Right to Try legislation, is something he should be very proud of. Im, as we speak, trying to see if I can get help over the border, quicker. My future depends on getting these drugs and treatments now. Not at the pace the Communists have put on us all in Canada. The wait times for anything health related, dictate that a hell of a lot of people die, before they ever get the help they need. This is now a reality, thanks to 11 years of liberal destruction.
The wait for cancer related treatments is now at a level, Ive never seen, and it is not only disgusting, it is also infuriating, and scary. As I type this, the clock is ticking for my health issues…..Back in 2020, when I had throat cancer, it was fast, the scans and tests were done quick. I beat it, as you know. Our God saw to it, that my time wasnt up yet. I shouldnt even be here, dear. But yet I am.
This country has went downhill at a pace that is jaw dropping, just in the last 5 years alone. The really scary part is, so many of my countrymen have no idea what is about to happen. Our news is so left leaning and skewed, the truth is never told to the Canadian people. The masses are kept in the dark, and told to keep their elbows up….SMH.
These libs in Canada, should be run out of the country on rails, yesterday. Perhaps one day, these Communists will meet their match, and that is exactly what could happen.
One can dream, anyways….
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. On behalf of all the Canadians at CTH. We appreciate everyone here. The ones who understand that Canada is under attack by the same forces that stole your 2020 election. We are a captive population at this point. I would stand by my words, that we did not ask for this. It was forced on us. By very evil people.
Bob it is good to hear from you!
When you posted your physical dilemmas some 12 or 18 months ago I kept you in my prayers.
We’d love to have you here!
Bob Take a listen to Dr John Campbell a Brit on YouTube. While you are waiting to get treatment, you may want to try ivermectin and mebendazole. There are online pharmacies in the US that have Doctors on board that might get you the prescriptions and send them to you. They do not cost a lot of money. God Bless You.
Yes, Dr. Campbell is so dedicated & honest. Also, Canada has Dr. William Makis, who I believe lives in FL now. Has great success in cancer treatment.
Completely agree Bob. Praying for your recovery and finding a path. As per Terry Anderson’s suggestion here, have you found Dr. Makis yet regarding that cancer recovery protocol? I know he moved to Florida(last year I believe) after his credentials were revoked for not following the evil covid tyranniy rules.
Here is his story on a podcast w Dr. Campbell about a month ago. I have met some of his patients who have worked w him and are in remission. His contact email is [email protected].
I apologize for going off topic treepers.
For this, no apologies necessary.
💯 🎯
Dr. Campbell is a must-watch for me. William Makis had to leave Alberta to avoid jail time for using Ivermectin off-label in cancer treatment. I don’t understand how the AB regime is so far off track on this subject.
More here: https://xcancel.com/MakisMedicine
It is been a while sinceI’d run into you, Bob, but as always when there is any thread on Canada, you, Dan Dale, Dekester, Frostback (I think)…all of you…come instantly into view and thought. Your health news grieves me, even more so because I am well aware of the terrible state of what passes for a health care system in Canada.
I am all too familiar with the UK’s NHS, the Canadian system’s ugly sister, but for a long while it seems yours has taken a turn for an evil worst run as it is by, as you write, very evil people.
I won’t rehash now what we all know. You did a good job on that front, and it is painful to read. I will instead use that most powerful weapon prayer to ask the good Lord above to make your way easier into getting the actual healthcare you need…be it miraculously there or here, where so many of your fellow Canadians have fled. I know you’ll have the prayers of everyone in this Tree who has come to know you as a very good man and friend. Please feel that love and concern I am sending to you, dear friend and brother.
God in His heaven will sort out the soulless footsoldiers of those who have done their worst, who answer not to Him but to the hideous forces which believe the world is theirs alone to do with it exactly as they please. Miracles happen every day, and I pray in Jesus’ name one for you. In my prayers you are, and there you will stay. With great affection, Bet 🙏🏻💕
💯 🎯
Thank you Betsy for (tentatively) including me in such hallowed company. I hope to prove my worth!
I’ve been reading CTH daily for over 10 years. I don’t do social media at all. But I felt the need to start posting here a few months ago, driven by what I have seen happen to my land of birth, England, and my home for the last 30 years, Canada.
I spend far too much time digging 😉, but I try to only post content for which I have proven receipts.
My very best wishes to all of you.
Not tentatively, my friend. I gathered from one of your posts you were Canadian, though I didn’t realize it was by adoption as with Dekester, Glasgow born. Just wanted confirmation, which you have given. Thank you.
So your introduction to the Tree mirrors mine. Lurker first for a long while, then brief comments in answers to others…a toe in the water…before diving in completely. Never expecting that blessings which came continue to multiply daily. I can’t help but believe we have all been individually guided here. Maybe, maybe not…
All I know is that my life has been enriched beyond measure for having serendipitously discovered an empty branch in a great Tree which has grown exponentially from the little seed planted long ago. Blessings, Frostback…
💯 🎯 Bob and Betsy.
In 2025 the Honda and Toyota plants here in Southern Ontario produced almost 1 million vehicles between them. Of that, nearly 80% were destined for the US.
I can’t seem to find anyone here who even begins to understand the impact of losing that 80%.
All-consuming, overarching, competitively virtue-signalled TDS is the leading trait in 95% of the adult population here.
Staggering. 😭 🤮 😡
We here who lived through it understand, my friend…
One word…NAFTA. Which decimated great swaths of industrialized heartlands, gutting communities and families without mercy.
It is a terrible tragedy that we can see the same train headed at speed for those 95% standing on the tracks facing in the wrong direction. Shouting warnings to turn around but seeing only one giant middle finger to our faces.
Sometimes people have to experience a thing before they get it..and I’m sorry this appears to be the case now for Canada. We are not without empathy.
Something unworldly and demonic has infected the minds of TDS sufferers, no matter where they are. That’s my view. Massive doses of unpleasant but therapeutic medicine seem to be called for. But the mythical Phoenix rose from the ashes. For your sakes…and ours…I truly hope that when the fever breaks, so will Canada.
Spent time in Detroit calling on customers in a different trade than autos. So many plants closed. Areas of Detroit were empty except for an occasional house. It was sad.
Driving from Chicago back east along the lake, you can see the huge Empty Steel Mills of Gary. In those days I thought the government knew what it was doing. Boy, was I stupid.
Every little town in Missouri had a garment plant or a shoe plant…. Hollowed out and decaying. It was sad. Never trust the government. The smaller it is and facing outward the better off we are.
Tragic, Terry, the effects still in evidence.
Those who promoted and executed it knew what would happen. Their hubris and greed remains unforgiveable.
Presidents come and go, but the fact remains that gargantuan government and its congressional enablers are the enemy.
So true. Canada doesn’t have the bucks either, nor know-how of Japanese and American operational expertise in safety robotic assembly, functions and safety; to move and invest.
Production costs and investment in equipment and the tech necessary, are heavy.
Add to that, expertise management in cyber-security and investment optimization, implementing IIoT , reducing energy use by 15% to 28% within 18–24 months of deployment.
The projected investment cost for the new Tacoma assembly facility in San Antonio is $3.6 billion.
Announced today, this figure represents the total capital commitment for “Project Orca,” which includes:
Construction: Adding a 2.5-million-square-foot building to the existing campus, effectively doubling the plant’s size.
Equipment: Installing a second complete vehicle assembly line with advanced manufacturing technologies.
Scope: This $3.6 billion is distinct from the separate $531 million investment currently finishing for the on-site rear axle plant, which is scheduled to begin production in late 2026.
SOURCE : Nguyen Nhut Quy
Although Toyota has not released a specific energy savings projection exclusively for the San Antonio plant’s IIoT systems; based on the $185.2 million incentive package from local utilities (including CPS Energy) and industry benchmarks for similar “smart factory” implementations, the projected savings are significant:
‘Industry Benchmark Savings: Automotive manufacturers implementing integrated IIoT and smart energy management systems typically achieve energy cost reductions of 12% to 22%. For Toyota, these automation principles are central to their strategy of reducing Li-Ion BEV battery costs by 50% in the second half of the 2020s, combining manufacturing efficiency with new cell chemistries. Automation significantly affect battery safety. Hence the huge investment in automation tech with key safety benefits. The reduction in human error, improving defect detection, and minimizing worker exposure to hazardous materials.
Specific case studies show plants reducing energy use by 15% to 28% within 18–24 months of deployment.
Local Utility Incentives: The incentive deal approved by San Antonio includes $42.5 million in infrastructure support and natural gas savings from CPS Energy and the San Antonio Water System.
This suggests the new facility is designed to drastically lower per-unit energy consumption compared to older lines.”
Projected Impact: If the San Antonio plant follows the industry average of a 15% reduction, and considering the scale of a 2.5-million-square-foot facility producing 200,000+ vehicles annually, the IIoT-driven optimizations (such as real-time load balancing, predictive maintenance, and automated HVAC/lighting controls) could save the plant millions of dollars annually in utility costs.
You are correct; however, it is the goal of the WEF and EU, UK and Canada to destroy their countries economically, so when it looks like their countries are losing, the leaders are WINNING.
The citizens are kept so busy with bs that most can’t see what is going on.
God bless President Trump-the greatest, most consequential president since Washington!
Yes sir.
There have been good ones, great ones, but none more consequential for the continuation of this nation than President Trump. I am confident history will judge him so.
At LifeSite news, there is a video about how the hand of God is guiding Trump and has been upon him. And a man that prayed ceaselessly for years for Donald Trump and this was in the 1980s.
I haven’t looked at LSn in ages. I’ll check. Thank you…
Here are three links (with “intro” comments).
“WILL LEAD AMERICA BACK TO GOD”
[Here’s proof Trump is trying to lead America back to God

THE TOM ZIMMER PROPHECY –“WILL LEAD AMERICA BACK TO GOD”
[… the prophecy of the Catholic holy man Tom Zimmer we heard about from the 1980s. He was told that God had His hand on Donald Trump and would use Trump as His instrument. ]
President Trump will ‘lead America back to God,’ according to 1983 prophecy:
Tom Zimmer said in 1983 that ‘right now, in the United States, there’s a man who has the hand of God on him…and God is going to use him in the future…his name is Donald Trump.’

Well, don’t overlook Lincoln or Reagan. I’d say most effective and consequential since Reagan.
Good! You can’t build trucks out of fentanyl and cocaine anyway.

Hee Haw San Antone.
Are the Snow Mexicans paying attention even a little bit???
Snow blindness is a real thing. Even in the summer.
Lived 20 years in the south suburbs of Chicago. Metro areas have the votes n in Illinois, to win a State election you needed to win by 5% to ‘Beat the Cheat’.
Canadians are in the same predicament
“upended decades of cross-border production planning.”
Those words are music to my ears. I remember when H. Ross Perot was derided and ridiculed by the worthless media for his “giant sucking sound” depiction of what the long term consequences of NAFTA would be.
Who were these planners going to sell these products to when the inhabitants were being forced to endure their transformation into a “service based economy”? If they would not have sold out to short term greed by outsourcing overseas, there would have been many more customers here that could readily afford to purchase the products.
I was blind to Perot’s foresight during that election.
Didn’t help when he accused the CeyeA of trying to turn his daughter into a Lezzie.
I can believe the accusation now n his foresight was spot on.
Mr. Perot not only was under a lot of stress, but he was also threatened by “deep state” agents. Hence some of his “bizarre” statements in the months leading up to the election. That election taught PDJT that if he ever wanted to run for a national elected office, it would be necessary to co-opt one of the corrupt uniparty organizations and run within that, rather than run as an independent.
But to tell the truth, unions have priced themselves out of many labor markets.
Remember a few years back when GM employees were demanding a 40% wage increase? I met a lady on a flight who was one of the GM “demanders”, & I asked her politely what increases in revenue or productivity had been seen at the plant, to justify such an extravagant raise.
Her answer: “Oh, the union told us we were underpaid & deserved it! ” …. So, I just shut my mouth.
Tacoma, Schmacoma. Let me know when Toyota will sell me a US-legal Hilux, manual trans, crank windows, no radio, with knobs on the dash and no screens.
p.s. Yes, I’m weak: I’m in SW FL and would want air conditioning.
I’ve been wanting my old 1967 Ford pickup back for years now. Best vehicle I ever owned. Run circles around today junk. Cheap to fix if it ever broke. Once put a heater core in it in about 30 minutes start to finish just piddling around. Try that on todays trucks!
My father had one of those!
Owned a 1963 Rambler and appreciated the bottom air vent on hot days.
“Let me know when Toyota will sell me a US-legal Hilux”
Those minimalist trucks sell for about $10,000 less than the small trucks sold here because of all the safety and emissions dung the U.S. vehicles are encumbered with.
https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2025/12/04/is-the-hilux-champ-coming-to-america/
Same here, waiting to find out when they make the Hilux’s legal in the U.S.
In the meantime am keeping my eye on REO Industries, currently taking pre-orders for US made trucks as they say “built like they used to be” just in case a US version for the Hilux or similar doesn’t happen
https://reotrucks.com/
Wow. That looks good to me, as well as affordable. My late mother LOVED the Saturn automobile sales platform and product. Great product and no dealer haggling, etc. over prices.
Thanks for the link!
The problem with Saturns was the drivers. Worst on the road. Much like today’s Tesla drivers. I believe they are literally the same Customer.
They go slow on the fast lane, pull out in front of you making your right hand turn on a red light at the last minute and then poke along like it’s your fault they’re going slow
My 88 year old mother was the exception to that rule. She ran Saturns for 22 years, made some impressive saves in slippery driving conditions here in WNY with me in the passenger seat. I was impressed.
don’t know how this got posted twice. sorry, just saw this and too late to delete.
Bring back the ’90’s Dodge Dakota with a V6 that runs forever.
Or give me back my ’63 Dodge pickup with a long wide bed and slant six. Sold it for what I paid for it twenty years later because I couldn’t get parts.
Big mistake selling my 63 short wide Chevy w 3 on a tree. What was I thinking?
Thanks Bessie!
i am #10181 in line, lol!
IMO, at least 50% of stuff on a new vehicle is make-work and unnecessary to its operation. Miles of hoses under the hood could go. Sensors that cost a fortune to replace could go. Autos would be much cheaper, run cooler, and be more reliable.
This was the case before greed by several parties ruined it.
That goes with most products
HVAC that will shutdown if the drain line clogs up or “sensor failure”
Window shades w no pull strings to raise or lower the blind
the electronics on a hot water heater n the list goes on.
I don’t think they make em anymore.

Hey Unc: Go shopping in Havana for what you want because they’re not going back!
We just bought our first new car in 20 years, a ’26 Rav4. I might slide in the driver’s side to start the AC but I’ll never drive it. Too many bells and whistles for this 70 year old!
Dealers would never allow this type of truck into the US market.
Sadly, dealers have overly significant sway with Toyota Corp
Toyota could sell them direct to customers or thru CostCo, but Toyota would not do that bec it would be disrespectful to dealers. Dealers know this – and uses it to their advantage.
Fifty years ago, Toyota Hilux trucks had a >Wolverine model truck. … Might be a growing demand for a truck with the designation of Wolverine.
+When I was a kid in low-humidity California, most cars didn’t have air conditioning. A few people would purchase a Thermador Car Cooler for the passenger car window. (A metal tube with ice in it. The flow of air over the ice caused the ‘metal tube’ to become an evaporative cooler. … My parents never bought one.)
Toyota in Kentucky builds engines for the Canada plant.
Toyota in Kentucky is shifting things around and with the moving out of Lexus production……it’s not a stretch to think we can develop room to build vehicles here that are currently being made in Canada. I don’t know that we can absorb all of their production, but we can absorb a lot of production.
Things are in motion, but it takes time. But things *ARE* in motion here. Toyota does things long term. When Canada loses production…….they are not getting it back.
Does Georgetown still have daily guided trolley tours of their production facility?

thanks for the link, he has some good picks and thoughts
As you’all know, I am a long-time Trump supporter, since Howard Teal my BIZ257 prof. back in 79′, told the class that The Trump Family were NYC Real Estate Developers to watch as examples on how to be successful in NYC.
There is a Wall-Painting inside the Building, that depicts An American Eagle getting tangled-up by Red Tape, coming from a Wolf in the Canadian Wilderness (think Lumber, etc.). This implies to me that Canada is “pissin’-off America, by taunting their National Bird Symbol!
How long is Donald J. Trump going to tolerate this disrespect, before he invades Canada and makes it the 51st State? LOL!
This building is located in London Ontario Canada, & houses London Cares, who are a lot of Social Workers that “don’t care about anyone, because they are difficult to fire”! A lot of green/blue hair, nose-rings, tatoos on all three sexes! LOL!

👍 👍
Seriously, doesn’t matter, when a dem gets back, they will change things so that the companies just leave again.
If Me I o is dragging its feet maybe it’s time to announce the six month withdrawal period. I’m 110% America first. Everything Mexico and Canada are doing is about running out the clock. It’s time to make the trade deal clock much shorter than the Trump clock.
Excellent. FAFO always so satisfying, once the FO phase arrives.
Even better, start producing more cars people actually want. More 6 (or more 😊 ) cylinder engines, NO auto stop/start, more analog, less crap on the screens, less nanny features, no subscriptions or need to update the clunky software. Actually, less software, period.
BTW, how about a national right-to-repair law?
Larger displacement would be great with naturally aspirated engines. How about some more variation of inline designs while we are are it.
That and bring the R-12 back for better AC systems.
Ouch!!
Yep. There’s no replacement for displacement. With NA.
Those cheap turbos attached to puny engines, all with built-in obsolescence. Yuck.
Manual choke?
I think Graham Platner does the manual choke.
I was fine @ throttle body injection and 1 o2 sensor, but it was not good enough for CA emissions so they went to multi-point fuel injection & 3 o2 sensors, it only got crazier from there….. all because of California cause it was just too expensive to build a separate CA emissions vehicle.
CA is still foisting crazy @ss things on the rest of the country…. can we not just kick them out or plant a few strategic “items” on the San Andres fault to have them just “slip” into the Pacific.
Add that to the list!
Japan is doing just fine, post-SEP 1945 … spent nearly 1/2rd of my 80 years there and around he rest of the Far East as a result of the USN and commercial airlines … and just “because” …
I admire the Japanese people and have made several life-long friends among their ranks … starting as a boy in the Territory of Hawai’i a long, long time ago …

And so it goes …
Thank you for your service Captain! Aloha
My privilege … and it’s where a “boy became a man” … or so I hear.
But thanks, in any case …
Now wait until the Democrats win in 2028 and reverse the entire thing moving production back to Mexico and costing thousands of American jobs. Yet the media will bury the story and voters don’t seem to care.
It will be up to the automakers to decide. I doubt Toyota would do it.
They win if no way is found to fix the election process. While that seems hard to imagine occurring, it’s the only way.
U.S. Automakers should have tariffs slapped on every car they make outside of the U.S. just like foreign automakers.
JMO.
We’re yenning for those jobs coming to TEXAS from Mexico.
Thank you President Trump!
Win, win, win ….. Again, again, again!
Ol’ H. Ross Perot must be cheering from Heaven ………… “it’s about time you stopped that “great sucking sound from the south.”
For sure, he’d be a MAGA / America Firster, first class.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
A Giant Sucking Sound : Ross Perot
Why doesn’t Toyota move ALL their Tacoma truck production to … drum roll … TACOMA, WA … ?? !! ??
Oh … that’s right … Tacoma, … WASHINGTON …
I’m from Tacoma and they would have to build it out in the burbs somewhere. No room in town. The local communists would squawk at building a factory there anyway.
They should have kept the HiLux name.
Toyota will shift manufacturing to the US and shift it elsewhere later when conditions favor that.
A good data point: $8.3 billion for a very large fully-equipped modern automotive assembly plant complex.
If you’ve never toured an auto assembly plant, you should. This will give you perspective on the billions poured out by the US government on military actions and other things.
$100 billion for the Iran action and counting.
Mostly fiat borrowing and printing. The debt growth passing $40T and continuing to accelerate?
All signs are that the US government is accelerating a drive to sink the nation.
Many things, including biowarfare democide (coerced modRNA shots with sa-modRNA being readied for the next stage of attrition).
Not at 40T yet, only 600B or so to go, should make it there by X-Mas.
Need to put people back to work in the new factories before it is possible to go down again…. or Austerity will set in.

“Talks between Mexico and the US have stalled “. Think Canada has done something to put a wrench in the negotiations?
Oh, has Boasberg weighed in with his opinion on the matter?
Winning.
MAGA
She is a chip off the old block of Abe. Good for both countries.
The Lexus plant in Cambridge, Ontario is likely next . . .
Two weeks ago Toyota announced production of RAV4s in Kentucky targeting 40k vehicles a year. Before this, they were only made in Japan and Canada.
I got a Tijuana Taco about 7 or so years ago and it runs pretty good. I hope Toyota isn’t planning to hire a bunch of the illegals, who are camping out in San Antonio, instead of young out of work Americans. President Trump should make sure they don’t and he should look at that potential angle before it comes up.
