The tariffs will have a double impact on inflation. Tariffs are driving up import costs and causing companies to cancel shipments, leaving docks half-empty. This will lead to shortages, higher prices, and supply chain disruptions. We’re facing inflation, a recession—and possibly a depression.

Many EV makers are adopting Tesla’s NACS ports. While using Tesla Superchargers supports Musk, the good news is NACS is now an open standard. Companies can use it without paying Tesla, so charging at non-Tesla NACS stations (coming soon) won’t put any money in Musk’s pocket.

Wow, some great news (not for the Musk Rat though..lol)! www.businessinsider.com/volkswagen-o...

33% are MAGA and nothing, and I mean, nothing will stop them from worshiping the Orange Man!

Exactly!

56% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy. But 53% approve of his mass deportation policies & that’s exactly why MAGA wants immigration chaos plastered across the news cycle 24/7.It’s a calculated smokescreen to cover up Trump’s catastrophic tariff war & economic incompetence...

If not for inflation, Harris would’ve won—no doubt. Trump wasn’t elected by MAGA, but by uninformed voters. A recent poll showed him -21 with independents, reflecting his economic unpopularity. For many, it’s all about their wallets—this makes Trump very vulnerable in the midterms and in 2028.

Here's my question, how did Trump and MAGA not know this was coming. To me they obviously knew, but either didn't care or did it on purpose. Something is very fishy! My thoughts is thay have something very devious in plan which should scare the fuck out of all of us!

The article says 179 Boeing planes will be canceled. That's hundreds of billions of dollars in lost revenue for Boeing. Not to mention thousands of jobs lost as well. I'm sure El Salvador will buy them, right?

Exactly how I feel!!!!

Some fear because he's probably dead!

1 of 4: Even if every country—including the U.S.—eliminated tariffs entirely, we’d still run a trade deficit. Why? Because aside from crude oil, military arms/aircraft, and agricultural or farming equipment, there’s little global demand for American-made goods.

I love the quote "They are obviousely slow learners"..lol

Planned a month in Asia this July, mostly Philippines (my wife is from there), with stops in Singapore & China (see the Great Wall). But thanks to China–Trump tensions, we're canceling China. Don’t want to risk being there if things escalate. We’ll lose money, but safety first. Fuck you Trump🖕

And that's without the United States, the largest EV market in the world, behind China. BYD is basically blocked from the U.S. market due to 100% tariffs on Chinese cars. If BYD were allowed to compete in the U.S, Tesla would be crushed.

I work in a far-right industry where Fox News is always on in the dining area. While the world talks tariffs and recession, Fox is fear-mongering about sanctuary cities releasing thousands of criminals, to distract from Trump's tariffs. Fox News: the Trump propaganda channel since 2016.

😂

This one is going to hurt. My wife is from the Philippines and we buy a lot from the Asian stores in Kansas City.

My wife and I, both US citizens, had a fully paid July trip to the Philippines, Singapore, and China this July. Given current events, we're likely canceling. We'll lose money, but safety comes first—it's just not worth the risk😕

I did not think one man was capable of destroying the planet. I have been proven wrong. #theorangethug

I just did a little research. With the exception of China, almost no country imposes tariffs on crude oil — and it makes sense. Every country is energy dependent and needs oil to function (forget food..lol). Still, it's an interesting little tidbit, with all the tariffs happening!

Why do we have a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs? Is it to protect the auto industry in the United States or Elon? The Chinese are killing it in EVs, cheaper and better (BYD).

Unfortunately, well said😦

You know you're in a cult when the Orange One convinces you that massive tariffs will help you, boost the economy, and magically lower prices🤣

From my KC local news. MAGA is on the comment section saying it's fake, that he was going to close anyway, that the tariffs have not taken effect..bla, bla, bla. I used to engage MAGAts, but after being suspended numerous times on FB, I realized it was not worth it.

Makes you think🤔

Trump and his MAGA 2025 goons know what they're doing with the tariffs is very unpopular and will hurt all Americans, thus hurting his popularity and hurting MAGA's chances of getting reelected in upcoming elections. It's as though they think they're not going to be any more elections🤔

I sold my Tesla based on values, not politics. Where we spend money reflects what we support, & I no longer want to support a company led by someone whose actions I find repulsive. This is about ethics, integrity, & personal principles—it's no longer about politics. That boat sailed 10+ years ago!

Awesome. I'm from KC and traded in my Tesla for a Mach-E last year. That was the best decision I've made in a while. BTW, the Mach-E is as good if not better than Tesla. The competition has caught up!!

Two very telling and very scary quotes from Trump!! This is the mindset of a lunatic, who's now the Dictator of the United States of America!! -“I couldn’t care less if car prices went up” -“I can’t rule out military action to take Greenland.”
