Yeah... that's not how that works. He's shitting on us and blaming everyone else for it
Trump: worship me
Auto makers: you literally fucked us all over.
Trump: and I expect you to thank me for it.
Why’s he so utterly obsessed with tariffs? Like he thinks they just fix everything. It’s so stupid.
Usually, it takes Congress to agree on something to raise taxes on the working class. With tariffs, he can do it by himself like a real dictator would.
While the United Auto Workers union support the move as a job creator
Yeah, I bet the Canadian members of the UAW will be stoked to hear this
The United Auto Workers(UAW), […] that represents workers in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and southern Ontario, Canada
"The price is the same as last year's but today's model comes with x, y, z optionals that make the price go that high"
Capitalism at work, shithead. Get fucked
claiming the tariffs would be “great” and benefit U.S. manufacturing
would be wild to get his elevator pitch in this. lol. without saying "trade war" and bigly fear mongering.
I know he's dumb, but god. Wow.
Be sure not to offset the costs by eliminating executive raises and bonuses, or by trimming their ridiculously large salaries! Those are sacrosanct!
Keep this up and we might even get to see America starting a state-run car company. This'll be great to watch. 🍿
Yeah, but instead of getting Volkswagen or Lada, we'll get
Tesla, or more likely Trump Cars (shudders)
A cyber truck with a bad blonde toupee?
I'm starting to think that this guy might not understand how economies work.
He doesn't have to. The goal of Trump is simple: exert power. He doesn't care who gets hurt in the process so long as his base sees him as their God (intentionally using the capital G here).
And if his decrees don’t have the expected results, it’s someone else’s fault.
Who was the ex member of his team that said he was in the room when people tried to explain tariffs to Trump and he clearly didn't understand them, he just likes them based on his misunderstanding of them...
I'm sure he believes that other countries are paying the tariffs and it's money going to the US federal coffers...
He seems to consider them in a vacuum.
"Prices rise, but that's only a temporary problem for plebs refusing to buy American. Once US manufacturing catches up, they will buy American and all is well."
That is of course incomplete and ignores the very real problem of manufacturing PARTS and raw resources also being affected. If not by Trumps tariffs, then by retaliatory ones from other countries. It also squashes your own export market. All of that together will leave prospective American factory bosses with a choice: Will they build a factory in the US and deal with higher prices and less customers, or will they build a factory in India, where they can export to every country on this planet (except the US but who cares) and have quick and cheap access to Chinese and Russian raw resources and a cheap labor pool?
Or will they simply wait four years because they figure that it won't keep going on...
But he had the best bankruptcies, beautiful bankruptcies, everbody said say, many woman said "no more bankruptcies, they are too great", believe me!
Yeah and the worst part? People will probably still will vote overwhelmingly republican. If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough i guess....
Okay so puts on American auto makers????
Lmao
I'll wait for them to miss the ring.
I know at least Subaru has already sent out emails to dealerships to expect prices to increase in April. If you're currently looking into purchasing a new car, better do it sooner rather than later.
Alternatively, you may wait for things to come crashing down (both interest rates and prices) once we hit the inevitable recession and Trump is forced to face the reality of his moronic policies.
The man simply does not know what a tariff is, and is doing this because otherwise Putin releases the tapes. Its simple
If I were him I'd just let Putin release the damn tapes, since it seems impossible that anything could actually damage his image with his rabid followers anyway.
But that'd require one functioning brain cell, and if he had that we probably wouldn't be in this position now to begin with.
If the tapes existed they wouldn't phase him, he has already weathered more shameful charges/realizations against him with no loss in the mania driving his sycophants. He was promised to be given enough wealth to finally prove himself to his dead father.
Don’t raise prices ! Just sell at a loss ! How hard could it be ?
Not sure what we should expect when the advice is coming from a "businessman" who's art of the deal has been to bankrupt 6 or 7 businesses...
