Trump says he 'couldn't care less' if some car prices rise due to tariffs: 5 takeaways from new interviews

Oh, they’ll go up alright. So will domestic automobiles. Does he think they’re going to just leave all that available margin sitting on the table in this capitalist nation?
- Everyone has been predicting that tariffs will increase costs for consumers and government cuts will reduce buying power for consumers.
  Lo and behold...
  
  It’s almost like accredited global economists know more about tariffs than a serial bankrupting felon convicted of criminal business fraud. Who’d have thought?

Will any of his followers wake up and realize he doesn't care about them? Hopefully they are posting attention and see that this guy is a con artist and liar.
- I hope you don't genuinely expect that to happen
  
  Nah I don't genuinely expect it. But I'm hopeful maybe even one will

This man claims ultimate authority and no responsibility. Him and his ilk, with their might makes right, and outright hate for others will be our undoing if it continued any longer.
- Most Americans are too dumb or brainwashed to see what's going on. We're due for another Great Depression and they'll blame anyone but the people who actually caused it.

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution bars people from being elected to the presidency more than twice.
There are only two ways to change the Constitution: An amendment can be proposed by Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate, or two-thirds of state legislatures can call a constitutional convention. Then three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions (38 of 50) must ratify it.
You're missing a BIG third way: to just fucking do it, and see what happens.
- Nobody stopped him so far so he has every reason to try. Impeached, convicted, leaks, treason, of course sir go right ahead. Big law firms are bending the knee for Trump in the Great Grovel. It's all going as planned for him. Rule of Law and the constitution are going on the trash heap of history.

Let them rise… bring it on!
- I am of the fuckcars persuasion myself, so while this economic policy is beyond stupid I can't help but see a silver lining here.
  
  Oh it’s extremely stupid but yeah I have a similar opinion here.

Is this an effort to force Americans to buy Tesla? Because if I remember correctly it was Barrack Hussain Obama who was supposed to force us all to buy electric cars
- This will be hilarious, because Teslas don't even really work for the demographic that goes through vehicles the fastest: heavy duty company trucks, rental vehicle companies, and country-folk who commute 40 miles to work and 50 miles to the city for weekend leisure.
  
  After thinking about it i began to wonder if the whole on/off tariff stuff isn't a ploy to boost economic numbers temporarily to look good. Imagine if you are a business such as a car rental company that could heavily be affected by a tariffs on cars. Buying a new fleet now could save millions if not hundreds of millions versus waiting until tariffs are enacted. This is the long held basis for target 2% inflation. We saw something like this during Trump's first term with the Carrier deal in Indiana and Foxconn in Wisconsin. Great news is promoted when the deal is made but not much is said after it fails to pay off. To be fair stuff like this happens and it's not limited to one party or the other. Another example is the GDP hitting 3% after the 2017 tax cuts, it quickly went back down to 2% the following quarter. The 3% got lots of attention on Fox News, the drop back to 2% and the trillion dollar deficit did not

Republicans don’t care unless it hurts them.
Any pickup models going to skyrocket in price? That’ll get their attention.
- Steel going to go up in price, so probably.

i would bet that trump doesn't know how to drive. he's been driven his whole life.
everything is computer now
