Trump announces 25% tariff on all imported cars and car parts

[TheMan]

This clown now wants more tax breaks for the rich

This is a capitalist nation, numbnuts. Rich people own the companies that hire workers. If you really want them to come back to America, you're gonna have to help them out, not all rich people have unlimited resources like Musk you knuckledragger.

I thought you wanted manufacturing jobs to come back? You gotta offer incentives, tariffs alone won't do it. But then again that's not Trump's real motive for his trade war...

You are a european ****** who depends on the US for defense that subsidizes all of your social programs.

Cringe.

You wish you lived in Europe so you wouldn't live in a cardboard box smoking crack to cope with your pity existence.

Elon Musk is now starting to speak out against the tariffs.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before the oligarchs finally stood up to Trump. Trillions wiped from their wealth, and a market drop comparable to covid will do it. It is going to be interesting to see Trump's ego feud with them.

0% or very low tariffs both ways with the EU would be sweet.

Assemble is the magic word. The discounts are on pretariff models.
Give it a few months of tariffs and we'll see.

Let's see in a few years, I'm pretty confident that if automakers could raise prices by 25% from one day to the other without crashing their sales, cars would already be 25% more expensive.
Right now it feels similar to discussion around illegal immigration, which dems spent years explaining that you juuuust couldn't fix it other than by doing it like it was done so before. In fact, it was Trump's fault that it wasn't fixed because he was blocking a bill and you juuuust couldn't fix illegal immigration without this bill made by the legacy politicians.

It's a ruthless but strong negotiation tactic to flip the tables and provide this level of pressure on the other part. This way when you start negotiations, you're more likely to hit the minimum of what your counterpart would accept because you're leveraging them down.
Setting up these blanket tariffs hit both other countries and US corps nearshoring and offshoring, other countries are now coming to the negotiation table wanting to make a deal, while US corps are forced to look at bringing production home.

I shut him up in a thread calling him the epitome of worthlessness, A Chinaman who is lacking in dick size but to compensate for that in high IQ, he's retarded lol, he didn't touch that one haha

I don't make two contradictory points and support 2 different positions.

you support the blanket tariffs, no? that's fine btw. so you excuse a temporary higher tax rate for the benefit of a better america in the long term.

how is that not the same as theman also breaking off from his normal ideology under a unique circumstance?

I never supported any tariffs. I believe in free trade. But if these tariffs are retaliatory to what the other countries are doing to us, then i'm fine with it.
