@davidpakmanshow: This was optional. Trump chose tariffs and Americans are paying the price.

nattcocacola :

Yet the CEOs will still be making bank after the layoffs.

MJ aka MOMMIE :

It’s almost like tariffs are a tax on American consumers 🫢

NoBaseNoWin :

While yes, John Deere is being affected by tariffs, their right to repair policies have also lead to a downturn in sales, the fact that farmers can’t fix their own equipment and need to pay a subscription to get any service at all doesn’t help.

Ricardo Cisneros :

Self inflicted and blame deferred to everyone else other than the culprit…Donald J Trump. 😒

Lina❤️ :

This made my day! Thank you!

Ron Hites :

I saw an interview with Trump where he said that he was using sarcasm when he was talking about lowering groceries. So to him, it wasn’t a lie. It was just a joke.

Tina Winston :

This is 1 step of how you star a war!!!!

Jake Blake :

Well, it sure does sound like we're great. Like, really great. Probably greater than we've ever been.

daddyc956 :

To clarify, those 71 deere workers at the Waterloo foundry are being laid off, not fired. Regardless, these are worrying times for anyone losing their job right now. Thanks to tankles and his moronic tariffs, crop prices are low so farmers can’t turn a profit. Meanwhile, imports of the raw materials needed to make the parts have skyrocketed. Then there’s his strange vendetta against wind energy, which is used to energize the furnaces in the foundry. All this unnecessary economic struggle could have been easily avoided with miss mam behind the desk.

LEZA Beal :

Fired or laid off??? There’s a big difference

bwa kale :

We told y’all 😏

terryblondiebellsout :

so John deere is taking a stand in its own way?

christophergardne42 :

Right to Repair has new urgency

You used to be able to get soda for $2.50/3 to 4 dollars for a 12 pack and now they’re like 8.50. I am giving up soda. I can no longer afford this bad habit.

gene64gu6ui :

I will never understand why a company will take their users and employees, sacrifice their livelihoods, then shrug their shoulders pretending to not know where their customer base went. Not completely true. I know the reasoning, just not the long term motivations.

Promises made, promises kept 😅

parry_hotter17 :

When there’s no tourism, visitors, or immigrants left… when Americans are broke, jobless, homeless, sick, and dying… What will happen to our CAPITALIST society when there are no CONSUMERS?

That man gotta go

Ah well

They are moving to a Mexico factory

Andrew L :

Bahahah….pacman, 200 workers….this is the worst “Disasterous Economic” news you could find……..lol…I have to admit, one of the best parts of Trump winning the presidency, other than the constant winning….is watching you and other liberal lunatics losing your minds
