Let’s see. Foreign cars start costing 20% more, so why wouldn’t American carmakers raise prices by 19% just to be cheaper and make more money. In other words, all prices go up (not necissarily by the same amount, but still up)
American cars are going to go up in price even without profit maximizing (which they’ll obviously also do). It’s a global supply chain. Infotainment screens and other parts aren’t made in America. Foreign manufacturers already produce cars in the U.S.
Foreign manufacturers already produce cars in the U.S.
And as a matter of fact, “foreign” company vehicles by the likes of Honda and Toyota are the MOST American made cars by parts origin.
You’d think the world’s shrewdest businessman would have a better handle on this. /s
He has a very clear handle on this. He’s going to siphon the money made on tariffs to him and his cronies through some form of subsidy.
And contracts. Pretty soon all law enforcement vehicles will be required to be Teslas.
At least he didn’t say “could care less” so he is officially smarter than an internet commenter!
Most of his voters don’t buy new cars.
When new car prices go up, used car prices should rise too
Yeah, look at what just happened to the used car market because of the chip shortage during COVID.
Yeah, the “chip shortage”
Yeah, I guess the guy who basically can’t drive for the rest of his life and probably hasn’t driven much ever wouldn’t care about the auto industry.
Nope, the man only cares about ripping off America’s and being cruel to minorities.
Fuck Bloomberg…
Not agreeing to their shit just to read an article.
Fuck. Right. Off.
🖕 🖕
You can get past the Bloomberg paywall by adding a period after the .com
So, instead of
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-pricesput
www.bloomberg.com./news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-pricesEditing fail but I got the idea… And, success!
Thanks for that tip. Likely try it more often. 😀
As far as I’m aware this only works for Bloomberg. A flaw in their site design.
The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
All is going according to plan.
If the dude wants a third term under free and fair elections, I wonder how many total morons will even STILL vote for this fucker.
It’s a gift link. Anybody with Javascript turned on has free access already
Not me. Javascript on. Article blocked.
I guess we’ll be riding bicycles and horses soon.
If you think this dude is building infrastructure for bicycles, then I have bad news.
Look on the bright side: when the economy crashes you’ll be able to sell your car for more!
Because of rampant inflation?
Because of rampant inflation.
No no no, we’ll be able to buy bread with a full wheelbarrow of cash!
I’m sorry sir, this establishment only accepts Melania Coin.
I only use EggCoin, the original Cryptopoultry.
Nobody should care about higher auto prices. Cars are literally destroying the planet, our health, our safety, and our communities. It’s a completely unsustainable con based on extreme violence and privilege. Fuck cars.
