Should you run out and buy a new car before auto tariffs take effect?

So employers are having a hard time finding workers, but DumDum slaps a tariff on cars. He thinks in a decade or so maybe some auto makers will return factories to the US. In the meantime we pay $15,000 or more for new cars. What a Moron.
 
Trump warned auto makers to not raise price. A 25% increase and Trump believes prices shouldn't rise. He is constantly showing his economic smarts.

Question: Why do you think other countries should have tariffs on our goods, but we shouldn't have tariffs on theirs?
Question #2: Why do you think other countries will sit there and not adjust their pricing to make them more acceptable?
Question #3: Why do you think tariffs will be permanent when Trump has said he will lift them when behavior changes, or not even have to impose them?
 
Most of Tesla's Lithium comes from Australia.
I didn't know that. At least you know that the workers here are well paid, safe and not coerced by an Authoritarian regime.

Where are you paying $15,000 for a new car? My car that is now 11 years old was that price. It was built in Mexico. The car I bought last year was $27,000. It was built in KY.

You're the moron. These countries are ripping us off with their own tariffs.

He wants auto makers to go bankrupt, like he did multiple times...showing his economic smarts.

Like how all German automakers went bankrupt when Germany/EU put 10% tariffs on US cars?


oh wait…they are doing just fine and Germany has lots of auto manufacturers doing just fine in Germany.
 
I have a 2008 Ford Ranger still runs great so I have no need to run out and buy a new vehicle tariffs or no tariffs. I also don’t buy a new cellphone the minute the newest version comes out more people need to learn you don’t always have to upgrade to something new every couple of years.

He figures they all have rich daddies that will bail them out. Sadly though, it will be the taxpayers just like the last time with the farmers.
