Maybe BMW can announce a layoff, due to tariffs, of 11k jobs in South Carolina. Then VW can layoff 48k in Tennessee, and Mercedes with 6k in Alabama. Then those Southern states can see how horrible their choice of President was for their state...Ha! Who am I kidding, they will follow him into hell and blame Biden.

Cars made in those plants aren't subject to tariffs. It'd be incredibly stupid to do that.

It'd be incredibly stupid to do that.

I don't see how that argument is relevant?

It'd be stupid for the companies themselves to sell less vehicles in a capitalist system.
