Its still only 3 months into his presidency though, kinda unfair to compare numbers right now.

Lets see where the markets are duiring the midterms in 2026
Even the Nazi billionaire has spoken against it.
Trump fucked up with the tariffs because of his own ignorance.
And now he is caught between appearing tough and appearing stupid. lmfao.

Sure, and they still won't be able to sell cars, because they don't want them. Or their hormone laden processed food, or any of the other things Trump is insisting they have to buy.
They will reroute them via Vietnam. Same manufacturers. Or somewhere else. Or just not offer the product.Trumps moves gets rapid results...

That is a fact, but it's not because of tariffs.
I found the stats that you need, they're only to 2021, but they make the point:
The US manufactures 9.1 million vehicles of all types, and sells 11.8 million vehicles of all types.
So 77% of all vehicles sold in the US are made in the US. What are the other 23%? Luxury cars, specialty vehicles only built at 1 plant, etc. Would you buy a Lamborghini built in Akron?
I did all the math: to capture the additional 23%, you'd need to build 16 more factories and employ 1.3 million more people. There are only 6 million unemployed people in the country.
So: to capture 23% of the car market, to make vehicles that people wouldn't buy, you'd need to invest trillions of dollars, and hire 21% of all unemployed people in the US.
If those 21% of people disappeared from the labour pool, wages would necessarily rise. Since raw materials are tariffed, input costs would be substantially higher in the US as well.
So you would end up with a bunch of factories producing cars that are too expensive to sell anywhere else in the world. The only way that could work is if the state subsidized the production.
Hmm, state subsided industry? Full employment in spite of non-existant demand? What does that sound like?

Yes because people in the USA WANT TO BUY THEM. It's pretty much German cars. I doubt they sell many British or French ones. And Italy is basically the luxury market.
US manufacturers have basically semi given up on sedans, hatchbacks and other small to mid size vehicles. Japan, Korea own to lower market and Germany owns the higher one.
All of it, every last ounce of crap and vitriol that seeps out of Trump's corroded lead pipe of a mouth, every drip and drab of sewage that runs through the clotted arteries of MAGA world, is almost too fantastical to believe that it's real. I feel like I'm living in Jonestown just before the paper cups were distributed.
Right, so if US made cars dont sell well in Europe, why even bother putting 10% import duties on them??
Paying for something cheap may benefit you now but it could have long term consequences...
Again though, you still havent explained why the EU and the US cannot have equal import duties at 10%, or better yet, have no import duties or tariffs at allThat is a fact, but it's not because of tariffs.

Ah I see, so what happened to the whining and bitching about inflation??? Didn't your orange felon campaign on lowering prices and ending the war in 24 hours?Paying for something cheap may benefit you now but it could have long term consequences...
Why all of a sudden are you happy to be paying more??
Yes, but the less educated will flip it and claim this was all planned because Trumputin is a master negotiator. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, it's funny but at the same time very sad.
THE EU IS OFFERING 0-for-0 TARIFFS!
THE US DOESN'T WANT THEM BECAUSE IT WILL CRATER THEIR AUTO INDUSTRY!!!!
I APPOLOGIZE FOR THE SHOUTING, BUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE EXPLAINED THIS 17 DIFFERENT WAYS. NOW I AM TYPING SLOWLY SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME AND UNDERSTAND IT.
