So, Donald Trump’s stupid trade war continues, and this time he wants to slap a 25% tariff on every car that isn’t made in the United States. It’s pretty damn obvious this plan isn’t about helping everyday Americans. Prices are going to shoot up, inflation will keep rising, and regular folks will pay the price. Meanwhile, billionaires like Elon Musk get to cash in, since Trump’s only real mission seems to be protecting his rich buddies.
What’s crazy is that Trump claims to hate all this climate stuff, yet here he is giving a massive boost to electric cars, specifically Musk’s. It feels like he’s practically handing over the entire car market to Tesla by scaring off foreign competition with these tariffs. Are we really expected to believe that this is all about “America first”? It’s more like “billionaires first” if you ask me.
This America First nonsense doesn’t help regular folks. It’s a fancy slogan to mask self-serving policies. Meanwhile, other countries are hitting back with their own tariffs, which is hurting the West while Putin has a great laugh at everyone’s expense. Brilliant.
Trump swears he’s a champion for American workers, but he sure loves cozying up to people who can give him something in return. That’s not free market thinking. It’s crony capitalism. If he was serious about helping the little guy, he’d come up with a plan that doesn’t punish the average consumer or alienate our allies. Instead, he’s doing favors for the ultra-rich, while everyone else deals with higher prices and economic fallout.
Anyway, that’s my rant. It’s maddening to watch. What do you think?
