Trump Promised American Jobs. Why Are These Truck Jobs Going To Mexico?

More Perfect Union | October 12, 2025



Trump promised to save American jobs. Mack Trucks is calling his bluff. Mack announced it’s building a new plant in Mexico, and laying off 350 U.S. workers. Workers tell us the solution isn’t Trump’s chaotic tariffs. It’s a North American minimum wage.

    In a few months a great number of our Maga friends will personally experience a new economic reality. This will allow them the opportunity to change their minds about the direction we all take going forward. A world of plenty is possible if a few Maga folks see others as deserving equality and a chance at a slice of the pie.

    I live along the US / Mexico border. This video could have been made in the 1990s. Old news. Ross Perot said it would happen in a 1992 debate. And before you snowflakes start your b**ching, NAFTA was widely supported by both parties. It was never about free trade, it was about moving the auto industry to Mexico, then assembling cars in the US.

    American greed is what’s driving this country’s to collapse. You don’t need better wages, you need to lower costs and increase buying power.

    There are people that cheers for cooperations, I don't fucking know why other than them being literally stupid, that thinks these companies are their friend, when their sole reason is to take your money and time. These companies moving into countries where there's very little pay is to make their greedy ass even richer. You are worth it! You're just not worth paying, is what these American companies think of their own people.

    These Mega Companies ALL DONATED TO HIS CAMPAIGN.

    They paid for this. They WANTED TO OFFSHORE JOBS, especially UNION JOBS.
    TARIFF HURT UNION INDUSTTIES MOST.
    This was all planned. Not an accident, not negatively affecting you….they are PURPOSELY EXPLOITING US.

    It is time to organize and resist peacefully Hurt the rich, damage the ability of the investor class to earn profit . Reduce spending to bare necessities. Move banking to credit unions. Organize community gardens where you can. If you garden share excess produce with neighbors in need or do front yard free produce boxes. Talk to neighbors and support each other where you can. If you do service work of any kind and can afford to help neighbors in need or trade until we are out of this. Check the boycott lists and stop purchasing where you are able If you are a member of a labor union encourage fellow members and leadership to join the resistance. Organize and stage national labor stoppages now .
    Cut them off from profits cut their power over our representatives. Unite and fight until the self declared king is deposed and citizens united is dismantled. Trump is a symptom call it the gangrene feeding off the rot of the cancer that is citizens united. We need unions to step up and stage national labor stoppages.
    If we can remove the Nazi king we must excise citizens united in the process or the rot continues as a two party system that will allow no others to run no matter how representative they are of the public and any form of representative democracy fades into corporate fascism either with the ugly face the republicans have show or the smiling thoughts and prayers of the democrats while party leadership continues to sell our representation .
    We need to get back to a coalition government with representative members willing to work together towards consensus. With out this there will be no ability to rebuild what we have lost much less build back better than we were . Without unions leading the fight we have no power in our fight. We need to damage the investor classes ability to earn until both parties are not just allowed to dismantle citizens united but both parties understand that the county is of by and for the people not the profit. To those that think Unions Can't do anything against this I say you do not have the history of labor movements in your tool kit . the rights we have were given to us by unions suffragettes black panthers Nation of Islam and transvestites.unions can stop the ability of corporations to make products to ship anything, they can stop mining and oil and gas production and they can lead and show the public how to lead a peaceful resistance .I'd suggest listening to some Utah Phillips for entertainment education.
    some great books:
    Beaten down worked up,
    There is power in a union,
    The long deep grudge,
    A history of America in ten strikes,
    The death and life of American labor,
    Bull shit Jobs,
    Fight like Hell,The devil is here in these hills,
    The crusades of Cesar Chaves,
    Behemoth,
    The People United will never be defeated
    organize and Resist

    Trump is only brilliant at lying to people! MAGA believes immigrants get federal funds that they, the immigrants, don't get. Never have. But he gave them someone to hate.

    Mack has a plant in the US to supply the US with trucks. It can use the plant in Mexico to sell those trucks anywhere in the world. The US population is 4 % of the world population. Most consumer in the world do not live in the US.
    The Muslim population of the world is about 25% of the world population. I am astonished that they even buy something from the US considering that the US supports Israel in the Genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. If the Muslim would stick together properly as a block, they would have a good bargaining position as far as trade is concerned. I am sure they could get good trade deals withe EU, China and the US.

    As someone on the roads nightly for my work utilizing what's said to be the crossroads of America, I40 thru Oklahoma City and I35 for as much as to Wichita or around Denton, I can say I see no less trucks nightly than I was in 2020 or even a year ago.
    I see them, I regard theirs and my safety therefore my word is pretty reliable for the topic at hand.
    Keep the rubber on the road please!!! Alligators do bad, terrible things to a squat little 4 banger😢😢

    It’s not even just the loss of jobs at the plant itself. There would’ve been jobs for the union construction workers, the rail workers to prepare and lay new track, more work for the train operators, and the service economy that pops up around these places, but once again GREED ruins everything.

    Unions, increase wages and secure jobs? Wake up and welcome to the new world. The cheapest candidate will win the contract. 😂😂😂 Go on strike and suffer the consequences. Adapt to the new world and you'll have a job. 😌😌😌😌
