Summary

Trump warned automakers not to raise prices after announcing a 25% tariff on imported vehicles starting April 3, claiming the tariffs would be "great" and benefit U.S. manufacturing.

Industry leaders, including GM, Ford, and Stellantis CEOs, expressed concerns about inevitable price increases, with experts warning tariffs could add thousands to car costs.

Auto suppliers stated that absorbing tariffs is impossible, and dealers fear affordability challenges for consumers.

While the United Auto Workers union support the move as a job creator, trade groups predict higher prices and fewer manufacturing jobs.

Is he so stupid he doesn't understand how to fascism?

Yes, and at this point it's the United States' only hope.

Can't count on the people, better hope the regime kills itself.

Ugh, I hate this timeline, where a whole lot of people, countries, and organizations are trying to avoid incurring the wrath of a complete dipshit and total baby named donvict.

At this point, I am surprised he hasn't ordered the treasury department to just mint more cash.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I think that's what happened to Nazi Germany, so just wait a little while.

Meanwhile, prepare to barter.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

That will come. He’ll also stop payments on Treasury Bonds. Not paying agreed upon obligations is his MO in business.

This is #mafia #fascism tactics. I hope #us economy leaders will realize how crazy #trump is and the will go against him.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

And that will come, but unfortunately not before he turned the country into a fascist state with no more balance of power. At that time, oligarchs will have their useful idiot removed and replaced by a real puppet that will be granted absolute power.

I'm gonna have to confiscate these: ####.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seriously, what can possibly make that worth adding?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Would you say it's your #1 complaint?
