    The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

    All is going according to plan.

    Let’s see. Foreign cars start costing 20% more, so why wouldn’t American carmakers raise prices by 19% just to be cheaper and make more money. In other words, all prices go up (not necissarily by the same amount, but still up)

      American cars are going to go up in price even without profit maximizing (which they’ll obviously also do). It’s a global supply chain. Infotainment screens and other parts aren’t made in America. Foreign manufacturers already produce cars in the U.S.

        And as a matter of fact, “foreign” company vehicles by the likes of Honda and Toyota are the MOST American made cars by parts origin.

      You’d think the world’s shrewdest businessman would have a better handle on this. /s

        He has a very clear handle on this. He’s going to siphon the money made on tariffs to him and his cronies through some form of subsidy.

          And contracts. Pretty soon all law enforcement vehicles will be required to be Teslas.

    Yeah, I guess the guy who basically can’t drive for the rest of his life and probably hasn’t driven much ever wouldn’t care about the auto industry.

    Look on the bright side: when the economy crashes you’ll be able to sell your car for more!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
