Man shit on huge trade deals to brag about conning Vietnam in to no tarrifs. We live in the worst fucking timeline.

Vietnam will pay the US a tariff? What?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s for his idiots. He doesn’t care what you think or believe

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Know. I don't think or believe how tariffs work, I know how tariffs work. I know he doesn't care about that either though

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Trump still doesn't know what a tariff is.

I hate this. I hated that the rise in private car ownership was messing up the flow of Vietnam scooter traffic. Now it'll just be worse. I hope Vinfast is able to succeed, and VN residents buy electric scooters and cars made by their own citizens.

At least VN just got its first subway.

Gas engine cars are easy to disable (sometimes permanently) by puncturing the radiator. Use this information as you see fit.

The Vinfast cars won't be quite as susceptible though....

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

uh, it's really easy to cut the valve stem on any car.

It would be delusional for any US car company to invest in dealership/repair network for Vietnam. China is next door to them, and they have good trade relations with them. Better value cars, and they also make high end SUVs.

Well, we all know he is crazy, so this is actually normal for him.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Decouple from this idiotic country's economy. It's going to take a while but we all have to do it. Too much risk of stupidity spreading.

They will pay the tariffs! That’s how tariffs work. /s

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Why would Vietnam be paying the tariff on Vietnamese goods going into the US? I swear the definition of a tariff changes every time I see it mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He's always said that tariffs are paid by the exporting country to the importing country. He's wrong of course, but at least he's consistent.

Hasn't really been large engines in a decade now. All new stuff has boring ass tiny engines with turbos

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

SUVs have never really had a good engine to weight ratio.
The first batches of Ford Explorer have a V6 that frankly cannot handle mountain highways because of the thing's weight.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (6 children)

I have never once heard anyone ever refer to an SUV as a 'Large Engine Vehicle'. Am I just unaware, or is this trump being a complete idiot again?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

He’s trying to flood google results for low emissions vehicles

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Could the term be something specific to Vietnam? Like is it a trade term?

I'd say it is an obvious way to try to confuse BEV with LEV... To sell more ICE-cars...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (5 children)

He didn't actually say this, someone with access to his TS/Twitter account did. They don't know wtf SUV stands for and probably made it up.

Most SUVs these days don't even have the 'Large Engines' of old.

Transshipping? Oh shit, is he deporting trans folks to Vietnam?

/s just in case

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Honestly they might be better off there.

I thought communists were bad. Or is that what liberals think? Are Republicans okay with communists now? What's even happening? 😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

That's his position this week. Who knows what it'll be next week. It only takes one errant tweet for him to turn on you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

i'm sure he can't even place vietnam on a map
