Trump Tells NBC He ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ About Higher Auto Prices

Let's see. Foreign cars start costing 20% more, so why wouldn't American carmakers raise prices by 19% just to be cheaper and make more money. In other words, all prices go up (not necissarily by the same amount, but still up)

American cars are going to go up in price even without profit maximizing (which they’ll obviously also do). It’s a global supply chain. Infotainment screens and other parts aren’t made in America. Foreign manufacturers already produce cars in the U.S.
- Foreign manufacturers already produce cars in the U.S.
  
  And as a matter of fact, "foreign" company vehicles by the likes of Honda and Toyota are the MOST American made cars by parts origin.
- Plus there's supply and demand to think about. Prices will go up becuase it'll be harder to find the domestically made vehicles.
You’d think the world’s shrewdest businessman would have a better handle on this. /s
- He has a very clear handle on this. He's going to siphon the money made on tariffs to him and his cronies through some form of subsidy.

Look on the bright side: when the economy crashes you'll be able to sell your car for more!

Because of rampant inflation?
- Because of rampant inflation.
- No, because the dollar is about to go the same way as the Pengo. I wonder who they're gonna put on the 100 Quntillion Dollar bill.

Yeah, I guess the guy who basically can't drive for the rest of his life and probably hasn't driven much ever wouldn't care about the auto industry.

Fuck Bloomberg...

Not agreeing to their shit just to read an article.

Fuck. Right. Off.

You can get past the Bloomberg paywall by adding a period after the .com

So, instead of

www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices

put

www.bloomberg.com./news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices
- Editing fail but I got the idea... And, success!

The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

All is going according to plan.

If the dude wants a third term under free and fair elections, I wonder how many total morons will even STILL vote for this fucker.

At least he didn’t say “could care less” so he is officially smarter than an internet commenter!

Nobody should care about higher auto prices. Cars are literally destroying the planet, our health, our safety, and our communities. It's a completely unsustainable con based on extreme violence and privilege. Fuck cars.

Maybe but there needs to be a well-thought out off-ramp.

This is not that.

But surely he cares about the eggs!

He cares more about how fElon's feelings are being hurt by the Democrats being mean to him.

I guess we'll be riding bicycles and horses soon.

If you think this dude is building infrastructure for bicycles, then I have bad news.
- I did not say 'build infrastructure,' just that we will be required to use our power for transportation instead of relying on vehicles.

Me too!....oh no wait a minute! That means when I buy a new car, it will be expensive! Then no! Let's not do it! Oh its too late? Shit! Then I won't buy a car. I'll take public transportation and spend most of my free time there, to and from work.

I mean absolutely HE couldn’t care less but not sure about several million other folks. Fuck orange man in his grapefruit shaped hole.
