    I’m 95% sure Trump will go and throw a hissy fit about any fine these companies face and we won’t recoup it — with threats of annexing us again and boosting tariffs to some new more than 100% number.

    So you can save some of your disgust for later in the week.

      Yeah, but he does that randomly anyway, so why even bother paying attention?

      If America puts 100% tarrifs on every country it will implode. As countries stand their ground it will continue to be tarrif musical chairs. As that continues more countries will plan to trade elsewhere as it is too chaotic and unreliable.

      American companies doing this is nothing new, the issue was raised when these deals were signed.

      Our only response is to ban the sale of their vehicles until it’s paid back.

        There is nothing to pay back, these were production based tax credits. They see no $ if they don’t make cars here.

      It’s always a roll of the dice what Trump might freak out about next.
