But, but, but….. on day 1 he promised to lower prices.
I am sooooo disillusioned AGAIN.
I need another tissue.
What ever can we do?
SUPPORT YHE PUSHBACK!!!
Lol, how will people be able to buy cars they can't afford? These people are so stupid, their privilege is the only thing that kept them alive this long.
General Motors - one of the most quintessential American carmaker - has pleaded with Trump not to enact his auto tariff. This will be a bloodbath, not just for foreign carmakers, but for every carmaker.
When MAGAts' SS checks don't arrive and when they are told they no longer qualify for Medicare, THEN Trump will tell them it is all Biden's fault and the cult will believe him. I fear there is no cure for complete and total stupidity.
People aren’t going to buy any cars at all because they won’t be any more affordable than before, and they’ll even be more expensive because sixty percent of the parts are made elsewhere.
$TSLA could plummet as much as 50% this week. There is not a single reputable or responsible financial institution or fund that should be holding a position in this over inflated stock. It is all smoke and mirrors. They don't make money selling cars. They get paid to sell tax credits. Scam. Sad!!!
I think what people are failing to recognize here is that he thinks that by ‘imports’ being more expensive people will buy ‘American made’ - while not understanding that American made relies heavily on imports for materials parts etc, our economy is not truly independent of the world economy
No vehicle is 100% made in America. A lot of parts come from China, among other countries. Not to mention American manufactured vehicles will spend more time in shops. There won't be a cheaper option, just the same choice of crappy vs Asian made.
American made cars, for some reason, are by far the least reliable. Ford cars, dodge, Chrysler, etc. you get maybe 100k miles if you’re lucky. Talk to Amy mechanic and ask for a recommendation and Japanese, Korean are top 10.
300k on a 2002 Toyota. I've changed brake pads and fluids/filters. 2020 GMC? New transmission. 22 Equinox? New transmission. New Ford? Plastic oil plug.
which Toyotas? because Corollas have been American made for awhile now. Corollas are considered very reliable and long-lasting. Tacomas also considered reliable and long-lasting and were American made for awhile (though current 4th gen is Mexico).
I don't think he knows that most parts for cars made in America are imported from outside the US, so when the price of parts goes up, the price of American cars goes up too.
That also really came to my mind when his son went to that ship sometime after we invaded Iraq with a big sign that congratulated him for the war in Iraq being over. I thought what the hell is this? There is no way this is over.

Goodness. I really did have a special car. I remember the largest issue was needing to rebuild the carburator multiple times, and I replaced the coolant valve once. Never dealt with the heater hose as I lived in the Mojave Desert so didn't really use the heater. I had that car for over 20 years.
Yes, cars require regular maintenance. Some more than others. I found older cars more reliable & easier to maintain. My AMC I drove in high school was a beast. Then I drove a vintage purple VW bug for the fun of it. When I became a mom, I drove my Jeep for 16 yrs.
The traitor felon conman is too stupid to know that American cars use foreign parts 😡
“I could not care less” (about anyone else but myself) sums him up perfectly. At least he did not say “I could care less” so we know exactly what he thinks about Americans! 😡
We're not buying anything. We don't care if your stinkin' stocks go into orbit or down the drain. We're buying NOTHING! So corporate America who voted for this Felon, you can take your tariffs and shove them up your lunula. You're not passing them off on us.
A lot of these 'foreign made' care are actually made here in the United State. Toyota has 12 in the US and most of them are in Red States. Nissan has 3, also in Red States.
Why should he care if tariffs increase prices, he is basically living on government assistance. We provide $3.1 million for each weekend he goes to play golf.
They didn't care about any of the talking points related to lowering prices & making it better for middle class. All a smoke screen for the real cause of taking control of the country and racism. For example, after explaining gas prices to them, they would move on to another talking point.
It’s out of context but I like it. He means he doesn’t care if foreign car prices rise not realizing 50%+ American made cars rely on imported parts. He DIRECTED all American made cars to NOT RAISE PRICES. DF (dumb fk).
I recall a recent article that said roughly 80% of all new auto parts in the US are imported. This is the new government for the top 1% and it really won't affect them, which is why they don't care.
the sheer idiocy of this man. aside from the fact all cars are built from parts from all over the globe, imagine the decimation of foreign car dealerships and their workers. it will be a bloodbath. He doesn't think of repercussions. He's like a toddler.
He doesn't have a clue. His people are afraid to tell him to his face. He is in the first stages of dementia. It's time to start thinking about the 25th amendment.
'The Atlantic: In Czechoslovakia,days after Soviet invasion 1968, Večerní Praha published “10 commandments”: “When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU: 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing.”'
Like to know how they are going to buy American cars when they don't have a job thus the money to buy a brand new car.
Just shows how out of touch with reality he is. Most probably the outcome of being a druggy
At the store yesterday, a white older dude next to me looked at the same thing I was seeing -- egg prices the same as they have been but now limited to 1 dozen per customer instead of 2 -- and said "It's getting better!" I politely disagreed and walked away.
I'm a Toyota guy. Even if prices go up I only need to buy a car every 15 or 20 years. So it won't affect me any. Just bought a Corolla in 2017. I'm good for awhile.
the Toyota Corolla is made in Mississippi. but i guarantee you that Trump does not know that. he just thinks Toyota = Japan. because he thinks it is like 1962 or something.
But all the safety standards have been lowered for everything built in America, so why would I want a car made here? They'll eventually stop recalling cars with epic flaws, and consider all purchases "as is".
Thank you MAGA, for this absolutely disgusting, hateful statement, that your President feels! 🍊🤡 wastes no time in telling us that he is an evil fascist!🤬🤬
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
I know and support what you're trying to convey, but, on first impression, I kinda have a problem with the stars--therein the symbol of democracy, being put *behind* the 🚫.
I'm reminded of the GOP guy who said working families could use their extra $1000 from the Tax Scam for a down payment on a new car. I guess Trump probably doesn't know that most people already can't afford a new car as things are right now.
Not just that but when, as I saw the other day on YouTube, when the price of new pickup jumps from 80K to 100K — in 24 hrs — who the hell can work within that price range?
Not to mention the volatility in the markets. Unnecessary volatility, too. Even a 5-year-old can grasp that.
Not quite asshole!
Cars are far too expensive as it is. So if they go up more, NO ONE will be buying them!! Especially since credit agencies are either going to cut back who they lend to, or scalp them because of deregulation! Add in job losses too...
We are facing an unconstitutional threat to our country and our freedoms through an illegal power grab. Now is the time to make our voices heard. https://app.sosha.ai/s/PsrZyndy
Pre-election, he also went to see President Zelenskyy, and had photos taken with him. The guy is a grifter and conman is of the highest order. We knew this.
As usual, the traitorous orange turd vomits more lies. I have to wonder if he is actually capable of understanding all the things that are already going wrong with this one tariff. One has to wonder what happens if no one buys all the “American” cars?
First of all he doesn't understand how cars are actually made and that we have always been interdependent on other countries for parts, etc. it keeps the costs down. Secondly, is anyone truly shocked that he doesn't care? Even the numbest of the numb nuts must know this. FFS. Come on, people!!
Trump doesn't understand that many American cars are built in Canada and Mexico, and that all cars built in America, including Tesla, use some imported parts. That means American cars will be subject to tariff and thus be more expensive.
This orange shithead is so fucking stupid and ignorant that he cannot tell right from left, top from bottom. It is too bad you guys have created this fucking monster that is going to bring death to America and humanity. He must be removed from office. Better still, he should go to HELL!
He's wasn't BS'ing when he told supporters they'd never have to vote again. I'm sure that's the plan. Doesn't matter how low your approval ratings get when you're the quasi-King...
Nobody outside the US will buy American cars because they aren’t as good as German and Japanese cars, and aren’t suitable for many of the roads in Europe.
The biggest problem in America is that there are far too many people who are blind, stupid, gullible and brainless. They are typical cultists worshipping that fucking orange shithead. They resist the truth and they love dancing with Satan and they enjoy eating the shit given to them. Shame on them!
My foreign car was built in the US. My sister’s American car was built in Mexico. Dichotomy that he does not understand because he’s never actually bought a car - only paid for them (if the dealers were lucky).
he had a Diablo in the late '90s. pretty sure there was contemporaneous footage of him driving it / exiting it. but could've easily just been him driving around the block to make an entrance.
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country. They're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession.
Is it the government or Trump we have to stop? The so-called “bureaucrats” on the phone who process your SSA, protect your water, air quality, & parks, protect you against shady business practices, etc.? Don’t be conned, Trump/Musk aren’t helping you they’re helping themselves to your taxes!
White Americans owe every marginalized groups an apology. Your unwillingness to do anything is astounding. Trump is not a result of ebb and flow of political power. Do you remember all the nonsensical bait that was dropped for you on social media platforms?
How many gay, white Americans sat this election out due to free Gaza? You were played. You should feel incredibly embarrassed for what you did. This man is going to reimagine Gaza and we will point to you holding stupid signs while we could have had Kamala.
I’m no Econ wiz but given the “supply and demand” concept, and based on the number of eggs this administration has laid, why aren’t a dozen any cheaper?
Trump broke the mold for malignant narcissistic with psychopathic tendencies on the DSM! 😋 his inability to extort, manipulate, sue, defame, anyone or any judge or any government or any country will only exacerbate his mental instability! His gutter language now front & center aka “pissed”, 😳🧌
He is a fool if he thinks higher prices will drive people to buy American made cars (Tesla?). People who can afford to buy Mercedes, BMW’s, Aston Martin are not going to be put off by a $5000 price increase that due to financing is spread over 5 to 7 years.
He doesn’t understand American made car prices will go up too because he’s never bothered to understand that most of the parts of imported. He’s got a second grade understanding of the economy at best, and yet he’s in charge now
People won't be able to get their cars repaired if dealers can't get the parts. And it's service, not sales, that generates revenue in car dealerships.
That tone & words will only ignite the speed of a recession-with people losing their jobs/still recovering from floods/wildfires/hurricanes, people are hurting-they need reassurance of getting help not being hawked 100% USA made parts/cars/trucks that don't exist car parts will cost more
He means, "I don't care if prices go up because forcing people to buy American will increase profits for my buddies and we can pretend we're great by not buying imports."
He will spin this to mean he doesn’t care if other car companies raise prices bc then the world will buy American. Or declare a win if America only buys American made cars.
What sounds cruel to Ds is too easily ignored/explained away.
Our only hope to stopping this: Rs pain and anguish. 😢
We've "noticed" he doesn't care about prices and promises made, the real question is what about the Kool-Aid drinking maghat hoard, how many are our snapping out of hypnosis and beginning to notice?
that car insurance one was a complete joke. insurance INCREASED his last term because tariffs increased parts costs. which meant repairs cost more and it turns out insurance companies weren't going to just eat that cost. shocking!
same will happen this time. also lowers the bar for being totaled.
Hi 👋, my family in Gaza lost everything after over a year of war and now lives in a tent without basic needs. Any donation or sharing our story can help. Thank you so much 🙏❤️ Help my family, please, my family is dying of hunger and thirst
He said what he knew people wanted to hear - denied the connection with project 2025 and all of the above. And the media let him get away with it … and hear we are. Too many rich and power are folding like a cheap card trick. Democracy dies in darkness.
Nobody in Europe is buying oversized, uneconomical, unsafe American cars in any numbers. They simply aren't suitable. If the US manufacturers designed cars that worked in Europe then maybe we would.
He says what his followers want to hear. They buy it. He gets what he wants (elected) from them. Then he says what he actually thinks...which is: He does not care about his followers or what they want or need after they have given him what he wants from them.
What UAW
President Shawn Fain
DETROIT – President Donald Trump has an unlikely ally in his push for tariffs on the auto industry: UAW President Shawn Fain. Despite vocally supporting Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris in the election, Fain has expressed strong support for the proposed tariffs.
He said he didn't know nothing about project 25 he said he wouldn't mess with Social Security he said he would lower prices he said he would end the war in Ukraine in one day what part don't we all get he's a complete liar
I worked for domestic and an import automotive companies. What he doesn’t understand is that some “import” brands have more North American content than Ford, GM… They are all global companies who source parts from all over to build vehicles sold internationally.
Americans Magas knew who he was, but thought nah , he is not really going to harm us in any way! He is going to make all of us (the rest of the world too) go through hell for the next 4 years and beyond!

By the way, there are also Lincolns made in China.
It's a little something called "parts." Jeezus.

Sorry if this is too complicated.
It was obvious he never cared and even if he would've said this, his supporters would've still supported him.
They would've just complained about something else, like trans ppl.
Even stranger how the price of eggs 🥚 has risen under the FELON
Totally bizarre how the FELON hasn’t a fu€k to give about rising prices and his base still think he’s the saviour
