I pray that Trump and Musk will disappear faster than a pizza at a weight watchers convention. Trump can't tell private corporations and businesses what to do.......Oh, I forgot he's God!!!
Elect someone who plainly says he will be a dictator on day one, then don’t be shocked when he acts like one. As Mark Twain said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” This Administration’s behavior should come as a surprise only to the willfully ignorant or the deluded.
Instead of passing on the costs of Trump Taxes to the consumer to maintain their profitability, Trump wants a few corporations to absorb the cost of Trump Taxes, reducing profits and share prices
Executives own stock, and are paid bonuses and stock options based on profit growth
Last NOV. you had less than 4 percent unemployed and a booming stock market. All you had to do is reduce military spending to pay down the debt. Instead you voted for a moron. Revolt and rise up.
I think if you go off the deep end left or right, communism or fascism, you get to the essentially the same spot. The government tells everyone what to do, and there is no personal freedom. ☹️☹️☹️
Maybe he should promote their cars on the White House lawn like the Nazi Parasite Elon’s car? This corrupt Putin a$$ kissing crypto loving regime is a disgrace. Get the DOGE SCAM OUT OF OUR GOVT DATA NOW!

Nearly 100 years ago we had the Great Depression, caused by many factors. Today we have entered the Trumpcession. It is caused by 1 person, Trump, and permitted by the mindless spineless GOP. #Trumpcession
The whole point of tariffs is to make foreign products too expensive for a large portion of domestic consumers. Sadly, Trump's tariffs guru is former UC Irvine prof and economic quack Peter Navarro. So no wonder Trump has no fucking idea what a tariff is or how it works.
Oh stuff it!
The Republican party has only ever been the Crooks and Liars party as long as I've lived. I'd ask you to stop with the rhetorical headlines, but what's the point?
Mercedes Benz made a 7% profit last year. If the cars cost them 25% more to make and accountnfor approx 2/3rds of selling price but they can't recoup, they will make a loss of 11% on every car sold.
I can't see that working.
I would not be wholly surprised if they eventually implemented an actual command economy in a failed attempt to restabilize the economy their own policies have disrupted. Trump certainly salivates for such power.
That's how tariffs work Donald. You raise the price of autos 25% to the dealers, they either pass it on or go bankrupt. You do remember how bankruptcies work don't you ?
WISCONSIN VOTERS: the fact that Trump and Musk endorsed Schimel for Wisc Sup Court, should be all you need to know to VOTE SUSAN CRAWFORD. Musk is trying buy this election as well, giving away 2, $1M dollar checks if you vote for Schimel. How is this legal??
DEMOCRAT LEADERS: GET UNIFIED AND START FIGHTING! I'm tired of sitting idle, if you have cards to play, play them. Trump keeps tossing executive orders out changing the world and nothing is being done. Nobody is allowed to have that much unchecked power.
Remember when Newt Gingrich introduced anything to win in 1993 and broke the rules of fairness, decency, and good sportsmanship that ruled American politics?
Outstanding. Trump genuinely thinks he can just bully everyone and everything and it’ll work. Is there any wonder why Donnie Jnr has daddy issues and substance issues.
They voted for him…it’s like there is a God and he is pissed. He gave you a choice between good and evil and you chose the evil. “Here is the rod right up the ass!”
When was the last time Trump raised the rent or leases on his properties. Or how about the last time he took an increase on golf memberships at his clubs. Oh but we are going to raise your cost by 25% but don’t take price increases. Do as I say but not as I do. The guy is a bumbling idiot.
How exactly does Trump expect automakers to survive if they have to pay tariffs but can’t recoup the cost? It’s almost as if Trump has no idea how business works …
So uh, just make Elon the car emperor who is the only one allowed to make cars in America after everyone else goes under? That the play? Is the auto industry just gonna sit there and take this?
Even if the domestic automakers were entirely self sufficient, if they compete against a car that is 60k$ with tariffs, why on earth would they charge 50k$ for some equivalent?
There is no way, that this policy creates stable prices. Even if those automakers move all their production and purchasing to the US, they will have higher costs for purchasing and labour so cars get more expensive...
They should leave the car price the same & append a surcharge called the Trump-Tesla Tariff. This should happen in all cases, not just for cars. Sales taxes are handled like this. & your organization should be running ads about this tax, which hurts us to prop up a drug-addled billionaire.
It’s hilarious really they’re already paying more for steel and aluminum and he wants them to eat this tax 🤣 Never going to happen. There’s going to be layoffs though for sure
Government interference with markets, massive transfers of wealth to a tiny group, and deficit spending have always been the GOP wet dream, while they spout free markets and fiscal responsibility. No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
He really is delusional, thinking he can dictate to everyone, including private business! Is the felon-in-chief going to make up the difference in their lost profits (and dividends to stockholders) resulting from his tariffs and financial stupidity? Hell, no - he won't even pay his own bills.
So if they can't raise prices then aren't the companies themselves going to pay the cost of the tariff out of each transaction, thereby reducing their profit? I imagine share holders won't like that.
Oh but they will will not have a choice. Time for some Donny boy inflation which could have been avoid with a smarter strategy. But smart strategy requires a functional Brain!
Trump should know this is not going to happen to Ford or GM.... This way the Tesla will be the cheapest vehicle and the only vehicle laid off workers can afford
So what happens to workers when automakers are paying more to make the actual cars but can't raise prices? Or is he going to mandate that no one gets laid off, too?
Japan makes cars. Japan holds $1 trillion in US debt. trump applied automobile tariffs. Japan is selling its US Treasury bonds. The dollar will likely be weakened. In trump parlance: who holds the cards?
Hilarious - DJT is running the US to the ground and now wants to tell other companies, corporations how to make their financial decisions?????????? He truly wants his hand in every flipping cookie jar around. 🤡
Monuments came later. TBH early Reconstruction, while not going deep enough, was not that lenient either (and should have been kept up). You do not need genocide to have accountability (see Germany post WWII)
Needed "De-Confederatization" with clear paths for reform (see say Longstreet after war).
But the thing you face now is not really tied to Confederacy - that is just window dressing and various "RETVRN" idiots are all over the globe. It's rather utter redicalization of one part of the political spectrum connected with a long term strategy to take control.
No, the entire trump era is a culmination of White Nationalism festering in our nation. Allowed to sicken our society by such things as reconstruction Jim Crow etc. Trump has successfully tapped into the underlying racism as a vehicle to power. It's all a freakout about Whites becoming a minority.
Not much later. The tributes began almost immediately after the South’s surrender. Knowing the depth and severity of the consequences of their survival, I’m just fine with publicly executing all of them. We would be a much better country had we taken their tenacity seriously.
And we are making the same mistake today. For years, we failed to recognize a subversive movement was afoot in the country. Instead of naming it “the enemy” and crushing it, we benevolently called it free speech. Our inaction paved the way to authoritarianism and our own subjugation.
Imagine the power we would have. The Federal min wage wouldn't be $7.25, Healthcare a priority... maybe a passport issued at birth instead of the elitist system we have. Travel opens the mind... they don't want that.
Again simple
You guys are making thos way to complicated. These people bought into the belief they they are owed America because they are White. That's it.
This is backlash to the Browning of America, to stagnant wages and Fox news pointing fingers to create "others". That's it.
If everyone banded together...
I remember when LP actually tried sticking it to Trump! Now it’s soft patty cake patty cake vanilla cnn style comments and remarks. You guys scared too?
trunt has no idea how to turn profits. He knows, how to drive business into bankruptcy. And then get bailed out. Too bad he's reached the pinnacle of his pyramid scheme. He's got the richest "known" man owning a chunk and the richest "unknown" man, waiting for him to tumble from a window.
And to think that all the Goop party had to do was not support the lie that the election was stolen & McConnell to show true leads hip by voting "yes" to impeach trump for the armed assault & riot of January 6th, 2021. But they wanted power. Careful what you wish for. https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/21/politics/mitch-mcconnell-january-6-trump/index.html
And to think we could have had an intelligent experienced pleasant woman as POTUS, a booming economy, no Tariffs, a secure Military and still be friends with UK, Canada, France, etc and be supportive of Ukraine 🇺🇦
I will NEVER FORGIVE ANY OF THE 77M
Тяцмр does this all the time. He does some dumb shit which requires a predictable response and then he cries about the totally foreseeable consequences.
54% of Americans have a reading comprehension level BELOW 6th grade. Probably 10% have critical thinking skills. What Trump's proposing makes HIM the socialist they ALWAYS accused Biden & us of being! Bwhahahaha! The 3% who voted him in are about to have their faces eaten! Wicked karmic revenge!
As a Canadian, I can remember a time in the US, not that LONG ago, when I felt comfortable visiting & could engage in conversation with anyone without knowing their Political leaning. Nobody discussed R v L, nobody was on edge & frightened...UNTIL Trump. He changed the Landscape & NOT in a good way!
Pretty sure the definition of a dreaded socialist government is when the government controls private companies 🤔
I was never a Republican but perhaps you guys can comment. This seems very anti-free market & very big government
he literally doesn't have the power to price fix cars or threaten car dealerships. will they comply? dunno.
i just bought a car in feb and already the price was double, dealerships warned me to buy quickly before prices went up due to tariffs. i already spent 2xs what i had planned.
