Trump - Unforeseen Consequences

[Sherlock Holmes]

Trump has promised many things, all kinds of odd promises as if he had infinite power to do whatever he wants. That unrealistic attitude that excites the naive supporters (likely 99.99% of them) is what will lead to unforeseen consequences. It's too late now to do anything about this, it is just going to happen and unfold and have all sorts of complex ramifications, here's one:

So anyone planning on buying a BMW after Trump does this, is going to be paying rather a lot more for it.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

More "success" from Trump the "businessman".

 

[Bleipriester]

The German car industry is in a crisis and will probably move some factories to the US. The most challenging factor are the energy prices, but also the low demand of electric cars in Europe that has been pushed by the German end of subsidies.

Just buy a Cadillac or Lincoln. Win/win.

Or better yet, buy yourself a Ford F-150 King Ranch and get some callouses on your hands.

Both candidates made promises that a President, acting alone, cannot fulfill. Harris "promised" to sign a law bringing back the abortion regime of Roe v Wade, which was total poppycock. Indeed, that was one of the main thrusts of her doomed campaign.

Fortunately, we know pretty much how things will go with Trump. There will be people whispering in his ear when he tries to do something precipitous, but he will do things that no other politician would do, which is why he got elected.

That's good as the wages here will have to be much higher here. We don't work for $21 per hour.

You seem to have missed the obvious, European countries will fight back and apply counter tariffs and that will impact US exports and profits and eventually wages, jobs here.

What will he do? what can he actually do?

Yes, that's expected its the reaction to hedging risk that been accumulated while there was uncertainty about who'd be president, it's not "real".

Trucks like that are for Coca-Cola cowboys.

Real ones would get a 5-year old base model.

I think trump can get popular support for tariffs on chinese imports

But not so much for across the board tariffs on every imported product

 

[Oddball]

As though they don't already have tariffs on Murican goods?

Though I'm no fan of the principle of tariffs, "I'll give you the same deal you give me" is a rational policy.

That's good as the wages here will have to be much higher here. We don't work for $21 per hour.

You'll be paying more of all kinds of stuff we import.

We import electronic hardware, cars, fuels and oils, medicines, medical equipment, furniture, plastics, chemicals.

The wages in the German car industry are higher than anywhere else.

Yeah... But I was sticking to the luxury theme for a BMW driver.

They're already in place.

But not so much for across the board tariffs on every imported product
