AUTO INDUSTRY/MEXICO/MICHIGAN: “When I got the Man of the Year, I got Man of the Year at Michigan, a long time ago, like 12 years ago, nothing to do with politics. They wrote, ‘Man of the Year.’ I came here and I gave a big lecture on the fact, I said, ‘Mexico is stealing your plants. They’re going to Canada, they going to— you lost 32% of your car production.’ I said, ‘What the hell is going on?’ It turned out to be quite a controversial acceptance, but I felt that, it’s probably the number one reason that I’m standing here because of trade and have we turned that around.”
