I would love to figure out if this is driven more by some vague sense that the US luxury auto market needs protection, or because Angela Merkel hasn’t been sufficiently fawning to him. His reported comment that he doesn’t want to see a single Mercedes or BMW driving down Fifth Avenue, unfortunately, doesn’t give us a clue to anything but his daftness.
As the article notes, both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have plants inside the United States (in South Carolina). Will those plants be shut down by the US, or by a retaliatory measure from the Germans? How will those voters act in November?
Trump’s escalating trade wars with, apparently, everyone, may or may not succeed in proving that the US economy is still number one, but regardless the cost in US jobs, and in US consumer price increases, will be staggering.
Trump to impose total ban on luxury German cars: report
President Trump wants to impose a total ban on the imports of German luxury cars, according to a new report from
Trump…what the hell?
The Fifth Avenue comment may be more aimed at the New York elite who have never really accepted this uncouth upstart.
The confusion about "American" vs. "foreign" auto companies isn't limited to Trump. Everyone continues to refer to the "Big Three" American auto companies, despite the fact that one of the three is Italian-owned. And, as you note, all of the car companies have factories within the US, and outside of the US. Oddly enough, the "foreign" car companies have their plants outside of Michigan, and some of them are in the Republican South.
Just who does this brain damaged old fool think he is?
Once again If the people that commented here actually did some homework/reserch or at least took the time to look at the work that actual reserchers do, You! would know why Trump is doing this… Angela Merkle is nothing more than a NWO pupet in the process of not only taking down Germany but the rest of Europe with it! In the hopes that she will have a nice seat when the NWO come to complete power. If you don't believe me, instead of shrugging it off and scoffing go look for yourself! then come back and tell me I'm wrong! go online or YouTube and look up NWO, Illuminati, Secret Societies, The Cabal, Globalist, TLC=Tri Lateral Commission, CFR=Councel of Foreign Affairs and while your at it look up Hillary and Huma Dark Web Video About them torturing and killing a little girl! The NYPD that confiscated Anthony Weiners laptop were physically Ill when they watched this video and are still recieving Therapy because of PTSD from it, this Laptop/Video was handed over to the FBI then the FBI said nothing to see here! well someone made a copy.. What I find Interesting is the nasayers are the ones who won't look at anything, won't do any reaserch and yet think they know so much!
