President Trump told leaders of the country’s largest automakers Tuesday that he will curtail “unnecessary” environmental regulations and make it easier to build plants in the United States, changes that he expects will shore up the manufacturing jobs he repeatedly promised to voters on the campaign trail.

After weeks of taunting the automotive industry over Twitter, Trump made a point to meet with the chief executives of General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler just days into his term.

This will be a very good talking point for GOP candidates in the Rust Belt states formerly known as "The Democrat's Blue Wall" in upcoming elections.

If I could fit comfortably in and had the cash, I’d rather have the Marauder.

It’s a great town car.

Cool, but I bet it costs way more than a Hummer.

End the ban in incandescent bulbs. By now, only people that actually need them are likely to buy them.
