Trump says “he couldn’t care less” if auto companies have to raise prices on vehicles

[Edgetho]

Who said I did? That’s stupid. They should be prosecuted for that. It’s just incredibly stupid to charge them with “domestic terrorism” especially since that doesn’t even exist as specific charge.

Terrorism is the use of violence or the threat of violence to instill fear and achieve political or ideological goals.

What we know and what we can prove are two different things. He should be charged with terrorism if for no other reason than to let people know we're not going to put up with leftist scum bullshit anymore.

It won't stick but he'll have it on his record after he gets out in a few years. Maybe he'll emigrate to Viet Nam

Of course, it is the working class that is being the most negatively impacted by the wealthy authoritarian/imperialist's love of the word "tariff," but, to be fair, the negative impact is foreign as well as domestic, and even billionaire oligarchs are suffering the predicted results. The poorer, less-educated states that voted for him will share the consequences with the more prosperous, better-educated states that opposed him.

He is an equal opportunity disaster. (Trump lackeys Giuliani and Lindell were just the lab rats confirming his toxicity.)

U.S. stocks plunged in early trading ahead of the expected introduction of Trump's sweeping tariffs on Wednesday, measures the president said will impact "all countries."​

​

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 315 points, or 0.75%, while the S&P 500 declined 1.1% on Monday morning. The tech-heavy Nasdaq plunged 1.75%.​

​

Tesla, the electric carmaker led by billionaire Trump-advisor Elon Musk, dropped nearly 6%.​

​

The downturn in U.S. markets followed a wave of selloffs worldwide.​

I understand what he's trying to do, but the way he's going about it is just ridiculous.

Virtually all of this could have been done behind closed doors, no drama, no fireworks, no insanity, no destruction of markets. But he just has to play this out like it's a goddamn reality TV show. He just can't help himself.

This would be difficult enough, but antagonizing and damaging the economies of your (former) friends and allies will only make it more difficult when dealing with them. You really would think an adult would understand that instinctively, but he is a child.

No, they won't. Do you seriously think manufacturers will invest years and $billions to build facilities based on a policy that will be gone in 4 years or less? Do you think the parts manufacturers in Canada and Mexico will close down those plants after spending years and $billions to relocate? Why would they?

because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars," Trump said.”

Name the cars that are 100% US made and not subject to any kind of tariff on any part, component or raw material.

Wow, amazing how he still right today

Perhaps he does it in response to the 95% Prog controlled media/entertainers' division. He has to do it the way he does. And he knows it. The first term he experienced the prog fascism.

lol okay well there is no violence or threat of violence against any person so this doesn’t make any sense.

"I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars," Trump said.

Why would Foreign Countries RAISE their prices?
They will sell it for the same price, to the importer, then the tariff gets imposed, and therefore the increase in the prices.

It's NOT the Foreign Car Maker raising the price, it's the Tariff that raises the price.

 

[Z99]

Well obviously this isn’t surprising. Anyone should have figured Trump was full of shit when he talked about the pain of inflation on American consumers. I mean out of desperation they put a pile of groceries on a table just to pander.

But alas, Trump obviously never cared about the poor or middle class. Now that he is president, what difference does it make to keep up the charade?

Trump tells NBC he 'couldn't care less' if car makers hike prices due to tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he did not warn car industry executives against raising prices as tariffs on foreign-made autos come into force, telling NBC News he "couldn't care less" i...

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how tariffs work.

So to he clear, you think the end result of this will be more American made vehicles? No trust me you don’t know how they work lol

 

[schmidlap]

Trump does not have the intellectual capacity to understand tariffs, no matter how many times economists explain it to him. He just thinks the word is beautiful.​

American auto jobs could be lost quickly in tariff war​

Looming tariffs on imported cars could mean more than just higher prices for buyers and lower profits for automakers – it could also mean layoffs for American autoworkers.​

​

President Donald Trump says his auto tariffs will remake the industry, shifting production of both cars and auto parts back to American plants. But experts say that will take years to accomplish, if it happens at all. In the meantime, it will take a toll on US car and auto parts production.​

​

The auto supply chain is delicate and global. Even if only Mexican and Canadian assembly plants shut down due to lost access to the US market, that will affect US suppliers sending parts to those plants. And some US-built cars are destined for Canada and Mexico. All that could see automakers and parts suppliers trimming production – and less output means fewer US jobs.​

You ASSUME that a tariff automatically means a higher price for the consumer. That CAN be the case but not necessarily. The importer is NOT required to raise prices. To remain competitive the importer may choose to eat the cost and make less profit. By the way, American consumers are NOT required to buy imports. If you still don't get it then you're too stupid to converse with further.

If tariffs are so counter-productive, why then have all of the leftist European nations and Canada been using them against us for decades?

Okay do you really think companies are going to eat the full cost of 25%? That’s just stupid lol.
