(Via Daily Mail) Mercedes-Benz will shift production of one of its vehicles to Tuscaloosa, Alabama by 2027. The German luxury carmaker's move is the latest response from an industry caught in the expensive crosshairs of President Donald Trump's 25 percent tariffs.

Mercedes Benz will now have an advantage over BMW.

Have you ever been to Tuscaloosa? That's not winning.

Ask him if FORD announcing to shareholders yesterday that the tariffs will cost them $1.5 BILLION this year is Winning.

Ford gained a couple billion dollars in market cap after beating estimates. Up 4% today and nearly 7% YTD. You are unsurprisingly selective in what you post.

Your behavior is once again noted.
You continue to follow me around this forum and do nothing more than conflate.

Trumps tariffs are going to cost FORD $1.5 BILLION.
The company has also given up on offering full year guidance.

That's a FACT.

Yawn.

It's funny to watch the lengths that people will go stoop to. . . to defend Donald Trump and his tariff policy.
For them, tariffs are BULLISH for the U.S. Auto Industry.

Never mind that GM CEO Mary Barra has stated that Trump's Tariffs could cost the company as much as $5 Billion this year.

If tariffs are BULLISH for these companies, why are their CEO's stating that they are going to cost them money?

He is adept at manipulating certain people and the legal system, but he is not able to grasp plenty of simple concepts.

He needs 89 votes to become the Poop.

Trump: Mattel— they’re the only country I’ve heard saying they’re going to go some place else. That’s okay. Let them go and we’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys. He won’t sell one toy in the US. pic.twitter.com/sT9bsaGukf

MATTEL is now a Country?

How would he put a 100% tariff on a U.S. based toy company in El Segundo, CA

They don't manufacture 100% in El Segundo. DUH.

Mattel toy guns I had as a boy:





I believe after the RFK assassination, Mattel scrapped its entire gun line. By then I had moved on to the Crosman pump pellet pistol.


Put 20 pumps in that and…….

Mattel's Seven-Year Shift Away From China

Mattel has been working for a long time to reduce its dependence on Chinese manufacturing and to have multiple manufacturing locations around the world for its top products, Kreiz said.

"We have been on this journey for seven years. This is not happening overnight." he said.

While price increases may be necessary for some toys, those decisions will be "in close collaboration with our retail partners, while always keeping the consumer in mind," Kreiz said.

Mattel currently manufactures about 40% of its worldwide toy sales in China, but only 20% of the toys it sells in the United States are made there. The company's goal is to reduce the percentage of U.S.-bound toys that are made in China to less than 15% by 2026, and less than 10% by 2027.

The majority of the toys in two of its top selling brands, Barbie and Hot Wheels, are manufactured outside of China, Mattel Chief Financial Officer Anthony DiSilvestro said on the call.

China, however, remains the manufacturer of a good portion of Mattel's dolls and playsets, which means Mattel will "have to watch its pricing very closely, especially heading into the holiday season," James Zahn, Editor-In-Chief of the Toy Book, said in comments after the earnings call.

The only person here sitting waaaaaaaay in the back is the dude who didn't understand that Mattel could be tariffed despite being based in El Segundo.

The kids sitting waaaaaaay in the back with the pea-sized domes are the one's that are unable to fathom that MATTEL is an AMERICAN ICON and has been already weaning themselves off of Chinese production of toys.In fact, they've been diversifying their global manufacturing for nearly a decade now in order to reduce their dependence on China. But Trump doesn't care. He just talks out of his a**

And because the kids sitting waaaaaaay in the back are a defender of all things CHUMP, they go thru all sorts of "twisted" mental gymnastics to rationalize his policies and behavior.

It's funny to watch.

It's also funny to see how they REPLY TO EVERY ONE OF MY POSTS.

They couldn't put me on ignore if $50,000 was offered to them.
I am like "oxygen" to them.

I OWN THEM.

Cool story. Mattel still sources at least 40% of their toys from China. Have a wonderful day owning whatever you think you own.
