    From Truth Social…”The tariffs will drive massive amounts of auto manufacturing to MICHIGAN, a State which I just easily one (sic) in the Presidential Election.”

    We know how he mangled the pronunciation of “Yosemite.”

    Is asking for a basic knowledge of English and geography too much these days?

    No.

    I mean, you can. But you'll be disappointed.

    Go watch an Obama / Romney debate then watch Biden / Trump. Then cry.

    It's embarrassing really.

    So was the last guy in this regard.

    But alas, one side owned the other, so yay.

    Although the stable genius apparently doesn't realize it, parts from Canada and Mexico are integral to vehicles manufactured in Michigan. The tariffs that he will be imposing will affect the price of vehicles in which the final assembly is in Michigan almost as much as the tariffs will affect the price of vehicles imported from Canada and Mexico and in the end US consumers will pay and it's also simple economics that higher prices will reduce demand.
    Canada, Mexico integral to US auto manufacturing from the start

    he got the best deal on RAW earth deal possible....

    someone probably told him they weren't rare earth so he figured they must be RAW earth. he also has zero grasp on history or strategic alliances and how they formed

    You should expect lies, criminal conduct and idiocy. We've got a blueprint of what to expect.

    That's what America voted for and wants.
