Trump Gets A Smackdown So Hard It Almost ... ALMOST ... Knocked That Dead Rat Off'a His Head


So we all know Mittsy's been lying about Chrysler closing up shop in the good old US of A and taking all its 'bidness' out there to China, right?

I mean, those of us with rational brains know it's a lie, especially when Chrysler itself calls it a lie. But now, Mittsy's long-haired lap-dog, Ronald McDonald Trump is weighing into the fray, not because he believes it, necessarily, but because he can't keep his ridiculous yap shut.

Trump, from his Twitter account, said, "Obama is a terrible negotiator. He bails out Chrysler and now Chrysler wants to send all Jeep manufacturing to China--and will!"

Which cause Ralph Gilles, the head of product design for Chrysler, to respond to Trump with this, also via Twitter: You are full of shit!"

Gilles becomes the second top Chrysler executive in three days to strongly deny the claim, first made my Mittsy’s lying mouth, and then echoed by an illiterate billionaire with internet access.

Donald.Trump.Is.Full.Of.Shit.

I mean, we all knew it, but it's still nice to see in print.

Now, Gilles is a gentleman, and sent a second Tweet: "I apologize for my language, but lies are just that, lies."

This TwitFight comes on the heels of Chrysler Group LLC Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne's email to employees flatly denied Romney's claim: 
"I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position: Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China."

Romney, speaking a week ago to a crowd in Defiance, Ohio, said that he had read a news article that said Chrysler's Jeep brand is considering moving "all production to China." he chose to outright blatantly lie to the people of Ohio because, well, he's desperate and will try anything, and because Jeep, Chrysler's global brand, has one of its three U.S. assembly plants in Toledo, Ohio.  Spreading fear into Ohio was a plan for Mittsy, until Chrysler spoke up and told him, Ohio, and all of us, that Mitt Romney is a liar.

And that Ronald McDonald Trump should, in TwitSpeak: STFU.

Now, to be fair, Chrysler does intend to make Jeeps in China, for the Chinese market. The company would not take any production away from Chrysler's U.S. plants, and, in fact, Chrysler is adding jobs and investment at its Ohio plant.

Funny, Mittsy never mentioned that, and neither did DeadRatHead.

But then one is a lying pandering asshat desperate for political office and the other one is a bloviating billionaire with an out-of-control ego.

Can't tell one from the other.

Why Mittsy? If You Truly Believe You're The Best Man For The Job, Why Lie?

Is it desperation because that bounce he'd been enjoyed a few weeks ago no longer exists? Is it just a clawing need at the pit of his stomach to become president just for the sake of besting his father? Is it his need to be the boss, but then give up mid-way through like he did in Massachusetts and coast his way through the rest of his term? Whatever the reason, the Mittsy campaign has gone all sorts of lying batshit crazy this week.

In one of the battleground states--Ohio--Mittsy stands before his crowds and outright lies that Chrysler is moving Jeep jobs to China.

Chrysler has come out to say that a “careful and unbiased” understanding “would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments.”

But then he might not win the election if he told the truth, so lying is best.

When asked to comment on Romney’s claims, the Romney campaign at first refused to comment and then defended the lie with an already debunked Bloomberg article that everyone knows is wrong and the press ain't playing along this time:
  • Detroit Free Press: “Not only was the story wrong, Romney took criticism for not knowing better and repeating it without questioning it.”
  • Toledo Blade: “‘The latest Romney ad, I will grant you, is a clever play on words to avoid saying things that are utterly false,’ Mr. Rattner said, referring to a new Romney ad out today. But he said the implication of the ad is ‘just not true. Chrysler is adding people. It’s made major investments in the Toledo Wrangler plant.’”
  • Huffington Post: “Where the ad goes from misleading to something more nefarious is in the text it shows. At one point, it displays a line from a Bloomberg story stating that Chrysler “plans to return Jeep output to China,” the implication being that the company is moving operations there as opposed to expanding operations that are already there.”
  • Wall Street Journal: “So far, the Romney campaign hasn’t issued a public statement on the flap.”

The facts are this: Chrysler is not moving to China, but are, in fact, adding more jobs for Americans in this country: “Chrysler Group announced that it will invest $500 million at the Toledo Assembly Complex (Ohio) for the production of the next generation Jeep® SUV in 2013. As a result, the Company will add a second shift of production or about 1,100 jobs in the third quarter of 2013.”

Hardest hit by the newest Romney lie is the Detroit News, which endorsed Mitt only to find him lying about their area of expertise, the auto industry. When they tried to get a comment for the Romney team on this latest lie, the campaign blew them off and continued to tell the lie. 

This is man the Detroit News endorsed. Now he won’t even talk to them.

This is nothing new for Mittsy, or for many in the GOP. They make their minds up that this is the story and even when offered proof that they are lying, they ignore and continue telling the lie.

Here’s the Romney campaign’s desperate attempt to rewrite “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” in Ohio:

Right there at the end, "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message."

He approved a lie.
