Trump’s trade war has officially begun—and U.S. drivers are about to pay the price.
25% tariffs (aka taxes) on all steel & aluminum imports coming into the U.S. are going to SPIKE the cost of cars and car parts—not just for American manufacturers, but for buyers too.

I see you not backing down, and I appreciate it.
Oh that's right, Education Bad! Slitting own throat, painful?
So, if the price increases are not seen soon, voters will assume that tariffs work without consequences.
Have you never noticed when there’s a crises and oil ppb rises, it is immediately reflected at your local gas pump? When the crises is over prices fall VERY slowly. We will see prices going up regardless of any stockpiled goods, that’s how greed works.
A 25% tariff could increase the cost of a car by $1000-$1500.
Who pays that extra $1500? Car manufacturers - who pass the extra cost on to YOU! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum-25-percent-impact-prices-inflation/
(we know which is more likely)
Trade wars SUPERCHARGE inflation. Americans can’t afford the #TrumpTax!

Seems like he's created a go-fund-me for his billionaire friends.

:D

(More planes colliding and people dying. Is he just sending out dark chaos magic or some shit?)
Meanwhile, US automakers will hurt as they scramble to retool. Some parts cross between CA & Detroit multiple times.

Handicapping the longstanding CA/US partnership, from what I understand, would create gaping holes in the market for other countries to step in. I think global automakers are farther along then Trumpty realizes. Here's what Ford is saying.

If they don't listen, demand that they leave Congress for failing to uphold the constitution. I can tell you right now that Fischbach is one of these assholes who won't listen.
tariffs did not help the Great Depression, in fact they made it worse. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 increased tariffs, which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. This significantly reduced international trade and made the Great Depression worse.

If the 2nd, then my job just got so complicated that i need to quit. (I price tariffs into inventory so we pass on the costs)
We won't back down...
I'm just wondering how high Trump can cause egg prices to go; I'm hearing $10 a dozen.
I'm sure he can beat that record, Bigley!
Is there a bottom? Will they give into the sunk cost and just keep being indignant because they’ve come to far?
Worse. This is what they wanted all along.
Stop setting a goal of bipartisanship.
Start doing the right thing!
Even then, they will probably blame Biden.
A wise & kind presudent would've found ways to lower the costs of the steel/aluminum to help both production and Americans in general keep money in their pockets. KAMALA #fucktrump
I wish he could understand how tariffs actually work, but then again, it's just part of his shtick. He has no more interest in how tariffs work then he does the economy.
That old fucking geezer, diaper wearing, dementia ridden p.o.s. is causing pure chaos.
Thanks fucking MAGATS. However, I know MAGATS will be and are being affected the most.
FAFO in full effect.
Do you still think it wise to take crypto money?
My one hope is this fuckery will give this nation a much needed education in why a global economy exists and why it's a good thing. As well as that this myth of American exceptionalism is exactly that. They need to learn where things come from.
Trump cheated!
