The next step of your president will beat the german (and european) car industry with higher tariffs. But "Germany" is also the biggest car exporter of the USA. For the German car industry work in the USA about 113,000 people. Combined with this is a unbelievable exertion to qualify the people. I guess it will be together with the auto suplier industry - no9t ot vfoerget laesdmasn and others - much more jobs in the USA, which depend on "our" car manufacturers. An the US-American car manufaciteres get lots of parts from outside of the USA too. In average we think it will increase the costs for cars in the USA 2750 Euro for an average car. This is about $3100. So: $3000*17.5 million cars = 52 billion Dollars. Donald Trump has the plan to get 52 billion Dollars from the US-Americans taxpayers. How many Germans do you think will he kill with 52 billion Dollars, which the US-Amervcina taxpayer will have to pay every year to fulfill his american dream never to will see a Mercedes Benz driving on the 5th avenue? Did you ever think about to go together with this man into a psychiatric hospital instead to let him be furthermore president of the USA?
Current car tariff rates:
EU -> USA: 2,5 %
USA -> EU: 10 %
So when a German buys for example a BMW made in USA - for example a BMW X3 - then he has to pay 10% tariff. And a Chinese will not buy any longer a BMW "made in the USA". To expensive. If BMW-USA needs parts from Europe they will have to pay 2.5%. Trump likes to increase the tarrifs from 2.5% to 25%, because he likes to do an economical war (economical wars cause often "normal" wars too). On the other side he had stopped TTIP (
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) which should solve problems with tariffs.
So: Donald Trump likes to speak with no one - he likes to give orders and all others have to be loyal and to do what he says. That's why Mexico payed a wall for Trump and 800,000 US-Americans had serios problems with their money. And why for heavens sake likes Tump to see in South Caroline a problem for the national security of the USA? Do they like to become a Bundesland (State) of Germany? Do they produce nuclear tanks because they like to start world war 3 there to overtake the USA, so all US-Amercinas have to speak the language of South-Carolina with a German accent?
Trump is catastrophic, no doubt.
He's specially for the USA a catastrope - but the USA is also a catastrophe on its own in this context. It's the USA which allows Trump to do what he is doding. He established for example Kim Jong Un in North Korea, what means supression and terror for decades in North-Korea.
no doubt. But in the end,
There is no end. History knows not experiments, history gives not a second chance. The most negative effects of his ego-centraliced politics will appear when he will be dead.
whether they impose high tariffs or not is only up to them to decide.
That's only the next step. The step after the next step, when no one makes business with the USA any longer, is to see them how they will send canon boats and will try to force all markets to open themselves for the "investments" of the USA. Do you know what Great Recessions are doing? They take care that some people get big assests for nothing.
National Security Threats. Those are empty phrases.
Trump
is an empty phrase.
But they enable the President to take measures without Congress as far as I know.
Trump is one of the idiots my father had said "
A bullet is to precious to use it to eliminate such an idiot". Every word is to much what someone says about Trump - every action is to much. But nevertheless the US-Americasn and the whole world waste time by trying to speak with smoeone who understands nothing instead to solve the real important problems of the USA and the world. To speak about World War 2 is not a problem in this context but only a waste of time. The like only to say "Germans are evil - that's why why we are good". They made good experiences with Germany as their enemy. The USA gave weapons and credits to all nations, which fought against Germany in world war 1. As a result of this the USA doubled their economy - and Germany paid this in many ways. I fear unconsciously US-Americans always live in the hope they will become rich when they attack Germany. The German tradition is another one. Lots of our ancestors destryed everything what they had conquered and gave all gdol to the gods as a sacrifice. They knew it's damned dangerous to win a war. They fought always for their survival - not for their economy. So let Trump destroy our economy. That's not really important for us.
