Donald Trump's business supporters are leaving the family.

Yesterday the reality of "Cadillac" as a former golf advertiser was made clear. Major supporters of the Donald Trump Empire are getting nervous and moving to other venues, including Mexico.

This ad is from the NYT's front e-page. The reaction by Cadillac from yesterday is notable.

GM needs to provide new insight to the American public. There is more reason for GM to be proud and reassured in their place on the American landscape. Why?

It isn't because the company is supporting a golf outing in Mexico, it is because of the long and sustaining relationship with the American people.

During this election season, (click here) the topic of manufacturing and the gradual migration of manufacturing jobs out of the U.S. over the past 20-plus years the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been in effect has been a lightning-rod issue for voters and presidential candidates alike. However, the migration of jobs back to the U.S. appears to be happening on its own, regardless of which way the political winds are blowing -- or perhaps because of them. Automotive News reports that General Motors is planning on moving some production of the 1500-series Crew Cab trucks from its plant in Silao, Mexico, to its plant in Flint, Michigan. The Flint plant primarily builds the 2500 and 3500 HD series Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.

If GM were to transfer all of 1500 truck production to Flint, that would leave Silao Assembly without a vehicle to build. GM also operates engine and transmission plants in Silao. That prospect is unlikely following an announcement from GM in 2014 that it was planning on investing $3.6 billion in its production facilities in Mexico through 2018. However, a specific plant-by-plant allocation of those investments was not given....

GM IS COMING HOME !!!!!!
