No sir I didn’t say that… that was in quotes. A direct quote from our leader. The $100 billion of new annual revenue to the US means it goes to the government

Google this and you will see where the quote came from:

Who said tariffs would go into effect on April 2, the US would start to collect on April 3. The tariffs will be on top of levies already in place, the tariffs would result in $100 billion of new annual revenue to the US. tariffs are being cast as “permanent” and no exceptions will be negotiated
Okay, now I get you. Usually when someone quotes, they name the source.

He said they Wii remain in affect while he is in office. That was said today to the media. Here was a chart of projected costs.

Tariffs are designed to bring manufacturing back into the US.
And this is not a political view just a simple fact, and this post hit the nail on the head. I have bought my last “American” vehicle. I just cannot see us hiring, training and developing competency before I die of old age.

What do you mean by “hiring, training and developing competency”?
I mean we Americans have gotten away from a high number of high skilled intelligent people going into these jobs. Just a personal opinion. I’m not going to argue so if this post bothered you, either move on or respond and know I’ve moved on.

The TDS in this thread is off the chain.

The United States is the second largest manufacturing nation after China. American manufacturing is valued in TRILLIONS of dollars.

Canada, Mexico and EU nations are not even close.

American and foreign companies will not sacrifice the enormous and extremely lucrative U.S. market in the name of politics to prove a point. Trump knows this.

Manufacturers will move to the U.S. whether they like it or not. Either that or their products will become less attractive to American consumers.

The U.S. is the top dog and has absolutely no obligation to any other country or company.

Leaving names and current biases out of the discussion I will revert to several thousand years ago:

“Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

lovely!!! Every single car in the US will be impacted once the auto parts kicks in.

What these tariffs will also do is diminish sales and reputation outside the US - tariffs will make American cars uncompetitive cost-wise in other countries…

you can 100% expect Mexico, Canada and Europe to retaliate - if these 3 countries bundle up together, Mexican, Canadian and European vehicles made without US content, therefore without tariff, will be much cheaper.

can you only imagine if the tripe 3 alliance opts for free trade with China?!? It’s the end…

Moving from Mazda CX-5 to Bronco Sport in a week
When I decided to look for a new car 2 months ago, and not wait for the end of my Mazda CX-5 lease to run out in August, this was one of my concerns.

I am quite happy I made the choice I did and got my nice Eruption Green Outer Banks last month, just to be sure there wouldn't be such a hike.

Now that I have done that, just watch the darn prices go DOWN ! .....
