President Trump said Thursday that General Motors is an outlier that’s laying people off in an otherwise “booming” U.S. economy.
“General Motors is very counter to what other auto, and other, companies are doing,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “Big Steel is opening and renovating plants all over the country. Auto companies are pouring into the U.S., including BMW, which just announced a major new plant. The U.S.A. is booming!”
