Tariff Trouble!

Can Donald Trump do anything right? What a moron! He tried to trumpet (see what I did there?) a “trade deal” between the US and the UK, except that there is no actual deal, just a “tentative outline of a deal”. You know, just like his ongoing “beautiful plan” for fixing health care, which was just smoke and mirrors, and never happened.

But this is even worse. Because the three major automobile manufacturers in the US – General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis – are now attacking Trump for throwing them under the proverbial bus. Trump claims that his tariffs will bring back manufacturing to the US, but they do nothing of the kind. According to the car manufacturers, “Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a U.K. vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts”. In other words, Trump would be destroying US manufacturing, just like he is destroying our government, our universities, our legal system, our film industry, and raising prices for Americans dramatically, for no good reason.
