That's exactly the problem. Government should not be negotiating business. We should keep international trade free. Lead by example. Tariffs raise prices.

Trump inherited an economy that was already heading in the right direction. I don't mind giving Trump credit, as long as YOUR SIDE gives Obama the credit he deserves for saving the auto industry and taking Bush's failed economy and turning it around. If not, well, then I say, hypocrite.

No, your not that obtuse, you have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Many in the U.S. do.

All the manufacturers have to do is raise the prices on vehicles going to nations that impose tariffs to cover the added cost. There is no need for our government to get involved. It can be handled as the manufacturers see fit.

That statement proves that you're just as arrogant as the president you helped elect. What do you know of my interests? Nothing.

Exactly, so that deters trade with tariffing nations, which makes tariffs unprofitable. Free market principles.

Well, in a free market, it's not the government's place to make things fair. Manufacturers have the right to choose who they sell to. And the consumer should have the right to choose who to buy from. There's no room in the equation for Trump's fat ass, without destabilizing the free market.
