1. Votes have consequences

Too bad for the employees, but Mexico may be so full of us companies soon, they may be building a wall to keep us out.

[UpInArms]

2. What a stupid MF

Why didn’t he just write in Kim Kardashian?

[DFW]

3. Adios y buen viaje

This is what he voted for.

[Srkdqltr]

4. You voted for this.

You wanted him because he was going to do tariffs and trade wars. Hang in it will work out for your company. Or not.

[ooky]

23. He must not have known that Trump was going to start a tarriff war

because if he did then he is pathetically stupid. It makes zero sense for someone whose business depends on imported components to vote for someone who says he is going to enact tariffs.

[Srkdqltr]

28. YES.

[Buckeyeblue]

5. They voted for a man who ran on nothing

He provided no specifics on how he was going to "make America great again." He knows nothing about the economy. He knows nothing about manufacturing. Really, he knows nothing.

And now his voters are starting to feel the sting. I for one, try not to wish ill will on anyone, but another part of me wants to say, you get what you voted for.

6. Not "harmed by the government," Mr. LeBlanc...

harmed specifically by conman Donald Trump. You brought this on yourself... and your loyal workers.

[dem4decades]

7. Suck it up, just the cost of making America great again. And by the way Pat

Jared and Ivanka made over 70 million last year while working in the White House.

Do you feel stupid Pat?

[BumRushDaShow]

8. "If we fail because the company is being harmed by the government"

No douchebag, your company is being harmed by one person IN government that people like YOU pounded their fists in the air to support while chanting "Lock her up!", and elected to office.... We're not talking some generic "government" itself.

9. Womp Womp MAGAfucker

10. How are these people so goddamn stupid?

How can you run a business and vote for somebody so woefully inadequate as trump? Trump started his life on 3rd base with a passed ball and somehow he always manages to get caught in a run down anyway.

63 million people have rendered themselves too damn stupid for reality. Now, begins their winter of discontent and their cries and lamentations will become the lead story as the day to day economy of living beats their asses a little bit harder.

Forgive me if I have no empathy for these people because I know for a fact that if they were willing to vote for trump. They are willing to vote for other complete idiots to ruin this country as long as they blame the brown people for everything.

[Autumn]

11. Bye bye, people being harmed by the government is fine with you.

You got what you wanted.

[CincyDem]

12. This is exactly what he voted for and his only loss will the his reputation in the community

"It's killing us".
"Profits cut in half".

What he really means is that it's cut MY income in half so, in response, I'm going to move MY factory to Mexico to recoup my personal profitability. The fact that I f'ck the workers in MY plant who have faithfully helped up $$$ in my pocket for ages...hey...chit happens.

Yeah - I won't be the icon of the community anymore...might even have to move to someplace where they don't know me or my business but once we're set up in Mexico, I'll be back in the green and I'll get used to my new neighborhood.


F'ck them. He knows what he voted for and he's having a sad that he's got to screw some folks to make his money. And you know, in the end, since he was willing to vote for Trump, you know he's going to screw the workers. because that's what these guys wake up to do.

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. I have to wonder what kind of profit margin he had

if his profits are being cut in half by a 25% tariff. Materials are only part of the overall cost of running a business. Of course he could raise the price of his items a little. I imagine his competotors are all dealing with the same tariffs.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Mr. LeBlanc, you might need one of these.

14. "harmed by the government"?

harmed by the fuckwad you voted to put in charge of it--asshole

[Martin Eden]

15. Karma is a motherfucker

Too bad it will also hurt workers who didn't vote for this shitshow.

[UTUSN]

16. He feels "betrayed" (tariffs cut profits) ?!1 Would that be by his political & business judgment?!1

[dalton99a]

17. He voted for the trade war and its attendant consequences.

[Takket]

18. he'll move and do fine for himself in mexico.........

and it is all his employees that lose their jobs that actually suffer.

[LeftInTX]

37. Exactly....

[ck4829]

19. What happened to personal responsibility you Republicans preach so much about?

YOU voted for this. YOU harmed your company. YOU harmed your employees.

Grow up and accept this is what YOU did, LeBlanc.

[ooky]

20. Can we get a big, hearty, womp-womp for this ignorant fool?

As a long time businessman he should have been smarter.

[MrsCoffee]

21. "I voted to hurt other people, not myself..."

That’s all I hear when they whine about being betrayed.

[workinclasszero]

24. GOP voters....WTF is wrong with these absolute idiots!?

[theaocp]

25. If it affects the conservative scum that infect Holland, I'm all about it.

I'm sure some are good people, but come on ... it's Holland, MI. Look it up.

[harumph]

26. Decoded:

"I was thinking about moving my plant to Mexico anyway to employ workers at half the price - and the Trump tariffs
provided me with the perfect cover story. - Thanks Trump!"
Notice how he said his company was "harmed by the government.." - as if the policies were
directed by some nameless bureaucrat. Fuck this guy.

[UniteFightBack]

33. Agreed...I just posted that. !!! nt

[guillaumeb]

27. Uninformed voters often make bad choices.

And in this case. the workers will suffer the consequences of the bad choice made by this person and the millions like him who voted for Trump.

[Firestorm49]

29. I feel more for the workers who are the unintended victims of Republican ideology.

[irisblue]

30. Dude has a long history in West Michigan

West Michigan is ruby red and very deeply Calvinist in religion & belief.

Googled him, he was a vet first.

[UniteFightBack]

31. He needs to stop saying he was harmed 'by the government' he was harmed by RUMP and his own damn

self.

[area51]

32. Trump voter: "I just feel so betrayed."

Well, I wish he would've googled Trump before the election to find out he's nothing but a con man.

[liberalmuse]

34. I feel bad for the employees.

Namely those who didn’t vote for Trump. They don’t deserve to lose their jobs.

[durablend]

35. But no doubt...

In 2020, Mr. LeBlanc will vote for Trump again (or whoever is the GOP candidate)

[onethatcares]

36. all I can add is

elections have consequences ya dumb fuck. Stick your feelings of betrayal up your ass.

I am not feeling very compassionate for these jerks presently.
