    Nope.

    Be a shame if car manufacturers had to move back to the US.

    That'll happen the day Trump voluntarily keeps his fake promise to release his tax returns.

    Every dime of the tariff is going to be paid by an American consumer and an American business.

    The blustering blowhard will wimp out (and lie and claim that he won, of course.)

    All Trump has done is Lower taxes for Corporations and Raise cost for consumers

    His chaotic Gut reasoning is destroying our Great Nation

    Americans consumers end up paying for Trump mistakes ........... not Mexico or China

    They are in Mexico for the good of the corporation (cheap labor). If tariffs make it unprofitable they will do what is good for the corporation and move again,

    Americans refused to pay for Trump's "big, beautiful wall" that he lied about Mexico paying for, so he's making Americans pay for his trade war, instead.

    Every dime of the tariff is going to be paid by an American consumer and an American business.

    If some suckers who missed out on flushing their $ down that Trump U® scam want to build a little Go-Fund-Me wall, the American and Mexican people are not being forced to pay for the Trump boondoggle.

    Meanwhile, Americans would be paying for Trump's latest tariffs, but he's a fake and it won't happen.

    He'll wimp out and declare victory.

    Get informed. I realize you desperately want to scapegoat anyone for whatever ails you but Mexicans are not the cause of your problems. This is nothing but pure racism and pandering to white fears. You might as well be a good little Bavarian in 32 for all the sense this makes.

    What race are illegals? You seem to think it’s just one race and it ain’t the white race. Now what were you saying about racism?

    Im concerned that democrats seem more concerned about this tariff than they do the negative effects of illegal immigration.

    Just a few years ago illegals were called a scourge by a beloved Democrat president. What happened other than the need for votes and the sheep willingly changing their opinion 180 degrees just because they were told to?
