Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2026
Remarks During a Tour of the General Motors Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan
July 27, 2026
The President. They've come a long way. It's amazing what tariffs will do for General Motors—right?—and what the election has done. They're doing great. General Motors is doing fantastically, the best year they've ever had. And I won't get into it, but there's a reason.
We've been very good to General Motors. And the rest of the world doesn't love me, but that's okay. It's called America first, right? [Laughter] It's been amazing.
General Motors Corp. Chair and Chief Executive Officer Mary T. Barra. Thank you, Mr.
President.
The President. That's fantastic.
You know Margo? She's been with me. Does anybody know Margo? Like, how well do you know Margo? She's been with me from day one, out of Oklahoma. Right?
So what else do you have?
[At this point, the tour continued; no transcript was provided.]
NOTE: The President spoke at 2:28 p.m. at the General Motors Proving Ground. In his remarks, he referred to White House Communications Adviser Margo Martin.
