NewDayTrump announces 'permanent' tariffs on foreign cars
cheers_queersLol good luck with that.
Trumpcession will kick in and hopefully kill the republican party.
Match!!Or we start seeing rampant smuggling
macnielBut it’s truly not his fault for real!
MaggiWuerzeBut you see its the democrats fault…somehow. I’m sure the next president will be a Republican
federal reverseThe Trump admin is doing its best to make sure that the US can no longer be measured. Those measures hit climate research and economics research both.
Is he really doing that stupid fist all the time?
He doesn’t have the upper body strength for a full heil.
He has to hide the back of his hand, because the super healthy old man is not so healthy.
`hes bruising like Mitch mcconnel, except lichs hand is already deadm
How does a human skin turn green? Is he so old and expired that fungus is forming under that?
“by shaking hands” nbcnews.com/…/white-house-says-large-bruise-trump…
The rumors say that he gets blood thinners due to his age.
I think IV catheters can cause skin discoloration, and the hand is a common place to put catheters. And he’s an old bag of shit, he’s probably in and out of hospitals as often as golf courses.
My first thought that he put some really bad makeup on his hand…
His hand kind of looks brown like rotting meat.
He’s just showing Americans it’s fisting time.
I always see it as him unknowingly showing solidarity for the African community
Tempus FugitStill not buying American trash cars. Of all the vehicles I’ve ever owned, American cars were by far the worst. I’ll stick to my Japanese autos thank you very much. They know how to make a reliable car that punches above its class. I don’t give two shits if I have to pay a tariff.
ZeppoA lot of Japanese cars are made in the US.
You know what cars aren’t manufactured in the USMC American cars. I drive a fusion and the only part I could find that wasn’t made in Mexico was the radio.
Yup, that’s why I avoid them too. My current car was made with quality and care in Japan, as will my next car.
Yeah, and because of NAFTA to build a car, parts were going across the border multiple times back and forth. So with tariffs that can increase the price much more.
Is the tariff on cars, or parts? Or have they not figured that part out yet?
It’s on both, but just learned that apparently it won’t impact the parts that going back and forth across the border. It looks like those additional tariffs are still planned on April 2nd.
Hyundai and Kia are Korean
Yeah, you’re correct.
Mhm pay 25% more for a good car or buy a swasticar…
Please europe, I beg you. 100% tariff on those fucking emotional support trucks.
Im going to start blowing them up soon otherwise.
Do we actually have clowns buying them over here? I didn’t even think they were road legal anywhere
In poland theres more of them each month. I fucking hate it so much.
Assholes in „rural” areas (10mins to city center) buy them and then parade in their fucking tanks. They are always the most polished and detailed cars on the intersection. I drive a larger car myself (not a suv, a big coupe) but it looks like a toy compared to a dodge ram. Those fuckers wouldn’t even be able to see a matiz in front of them.
I saw a bunch in the Netherlands (in smaller towns and villages) and a few in Czechia.
ObiNL has supposedly cracked down on the tax loophole which made these attractive to b entrepreneurs (something about imported vehicles), so hopefully we start seeing less of them over time.
I live in a small rural town in Ireland. I’m seeing more and more ridiculously huge pickups that are simply too big for the parking spots.
They’re fucking awful
There’s one in the garage of my apartment building. All i can think about when I see it is what a giant douche bag you have to be to buy something like that while living in a big city.
Yeah. An ex coworker of mine deemed it necessary to drive such a wankpanzer in our medium-sized german city over the astonishing distance of 5 kilometres to/from work.
Those are even legal in Europe? Some dude imported one here, as an impulse buy, as he had won a large money prize on Euro Millions, and it had the nastiest of ends, as he jammed the thing between two building in a narrow street. The car was cut to pieces on the spot, to be removed. The rumour mill spoke of nearly 75.000€ to the trash.
I think you think this thread is talking about the cybertruck but they’re just talking about regular pick up trucks.
You barely see any pick up trucks in Europe (or at least in Austria). I know like one or two farmers who have one and that’s it.
People who like big cars buy SUVs here.
Unfortunately I do see them (a bit) in the Netherlands… Something them being a tax loophole for entrepreneurs (but they’re supposedly closing it). Definitely niche though, indeed the emotional support vehicles are the big German SUVs…
The F-150 is imported into Europe, but you can not buy them at normal Ford dealerships, because they are so unpopular. Indeed most Fords sold in Europe are actually designed in Germany…
They are already tariffed af. Due to emissions.
Curious and difficult times ahead.
Yeah, I’m sure that’s going to save your butt buddies shitty car company.
Reciprocal tariffs on American cars honestly sounds like a pretty good idea now…
American cars are already near impossible to sell in Europe. Terrible fuel economy, to large and bad turning radius for European cities with small roads, things like cyber trucks and other oversized pickups are probably not road legal because of pedestrian crash safety regulations.
don’t forget shit quality
Nobody wants American cars. I guess up until recently Tesla was the exception, but that was already changing before Musk decided to go full mask off.
Just nuke us.
So what defines a “foreign” car? BMW builds the X3 in South Carolina and VW builds their SUVs in Tennessee. However Ford builds the Bronco in Mexico. So which one will be tariffed?
EvilCartyenUnder normal circumstances the car which crosses a border.
RememberTheApollo_So Ford gets taxed while the “import” brand doesn’t. Another well thought out policy by this administration. My “foreign” car was built in Alabama.
They just need a metric to wave in the face of their very stupid voter base. If they don’t get any, they’ll make some up. They absolutely do not care if this policy successfully results in the stated intended effect.
Toyota builds Camry, Avalon, RAV4, and Lexus in Georgetown, KY.
If it means foreign brands, that will fuck over a lot of red state workers, if he means foreign built, maybe not.
Oh Donald, nothing is permanent.
He’s permanently a person for a very very long randomly sized amount of time that is shorter than 100years and longer than 1 second. It could be a heart condition or covid in a week or next year on good Friday. Who knows. But it won’t be 100 more. My guess is 5 to 10 more. He’ll be litigating the entire time.
