Please do. Unfortunately, he actually has no intention of doing so and is only trying to get US auto manufacturers over a barrel so he can rape them blind and push his more pollution agenda to make cars worse and less safe. It's blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention. He says one thing to scare a market into a panic so they bow down and kiss the ring. I can't believe y'all are this dense?!
I think it's slightly more nefarious than just narcissism. A bunch of people trading, manipulating the market, trading again, then undoing it.
Tarrifs usually need to be planned a couple of years ahead, since it affects logistics, etc. Trump's administration irresponsibly announces mindbogglingly significant changes to tarrifs, with almost immediate effect, then undoes it over the weekend because "it was a misunderstanding", or some other flavor of incompetence.
If you all did even the slightest bit of research you'd see that kei cars are significantly less safe than regular cars and that's due mostly to their design and size, not just because of the presence of bigger cars on the road.
This community LOVES cars, I've never seen such rabid love of cars. You all just hate big cars.
At what point did their safety come up? I said he wants to make US cars less safe, like through deregulation. Us Monster vehicles are so they burn as much gas and materials as humanly possible. Cars could be cheap, but there's no money in that.
