Trump tears up EU tariff deal, says car and truck tariffs rise to 25%

David Seibert48

Yay! A new 25% tax for Americans!

PeggyCrane29

I thought the courts said tariffs were illegal…

Emily26

Trump brags about things that are hurting Americans because he's too stupid to know it and too inhuman to care:

Gert18

Anyone with an IQ over 20 can understand what tariffs do…….

Pup Fiction17

No cheap Chinese EVs for US citizens, unlike the rest of the world rushing to buy them so they don’t have to worry about a fuel cost crisis Trump caused. So much winning

Paul A.15

And, when you just randomly increase or decrease tariffs, it actually creates incentive to NOT invest, because it's just too unstable.

nbmolnar.bsky.social10

So the more efficient cars will cost more while we get screwed with his higher gas prices

Avery Farman8

Read "avoid buying a new car or truck before 2029." Got it. The beatings will continue until morale (and Trump's approval ratings) improve.

Kakistos8

He's bragging about raising prices for Americans.

Chameleon Aethos5

Europe, a place well known for its production of big trucks that Americans want to buy 🤦‍♂️

The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter5

Let's all clap for that one! Whopee! We get to pay 25% more!

Gorgonlin4

The SCOTUS ruling was only a recommendation.

Trevor Foster4

There is no way in hell that cheering is real. Whoever is handling the video feed is dubbing in cheer sound tracks.

In the past, I had a BMW X5 here, in Canada. For the North American market, they're made in South Carolina. Mercedes builds its vehicles for the NA market in Alabama. Does anyone know how many cars will be affected by this tariff?

kbrooks99.bsky.social4

Great. Now a car will cost $60k instead of $48k. That’s awesome.

granddude1962.bsky.social4

He said today prices are coming down. He acknowledged gas prices are up but said it's worth it to keep Iran from having a nuke. Smells like weapons of mass destruction and the spread of communism all over again. MAGA, I know the truth hurts you on this app, tell us what prices are coming down?

🇺🇸Christy🇨🇦4

Listen to the idiots clapping!! Unreal!!!

recentgrooves.bsky.social3

What factories? Where? Point to one

Sandy2

He thinks this is a positive selling point? JFC!

kikikimnyc2

Of course you did. You slob felon Epstein sympathizer POS.

allenidaho.bsky.social2

That is not a valid excuse to impose the tariff. He is using section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. The Act requires justification of a National Security concern. He has not stated the concern.

KatzMeow4202

🚨 Doesn't he have to "PAY TARIFFS BACK" to the Companies because Tariffs were deemed Illegal??? 🤑💸💰

mruelberg.bsky.social2

I'll still buy Toyotas. I ran my last one for 26 years before giving it to a friend and got 39mpg. The current one gets even better mileage. I was in college during the '73 oil embargo and am serious about efficiency. US just isn't serious about economy.

Ole Christensen 🇩🇰🇪🇺2

Trump continues to destroy the economy for the ordinary Americans, making everything more expensive. This behaviour shouldn’t give him any credit at the midterms - on the contrary.

Alyson Wonderland5

Of course! It’s “Market Manipulation Friday”!

CLASSYTEE3

HMM…HE IS KILLING US SLOWLY…

L S D2

He wrote a whole lotta words in that post that could’ve just said “fuck dem SCOTUS justices and their tariff ruling. I do what I want!”

Exodor11

Didn’t SCOTUS rule he can’t just unilaterally impose tariffs?

davidgarciaspai.bsky.social10

That should finally be “it”. The EU will threaten the digital enforcement mechanism (that should have been done 10 years ago) and the US will fall apart. Elections have consequences - elect a retard - see your country fall apart

🇪🇺6

Apparantly it is Friday again, by Tuesday everything will be different again. 🐔🌮🙄

Cam Simpson4

Well, he's right. There's has never been anything like what is happening in America today.

Jim Teeth4

Every American with any sense of pride should be using 86 47 as a common response. 86 47.

theMamiyaMan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱🇨🇺4

The important thing to remember about this threat is that the Epstein files still have not been completely released.

Alpine Migrant3

What “trucks” does Europe export to the US?

NooraFella3

Those plants must be opening in… two weeks.🙄

Jameslet3

He’s vapourised the US automotive industry, because he’s an idiot. I’m just a regular science teacher in the UK and look at the date of this post… bsky.app/profile/jame...

Finite3

Why on earth is the self-preservation instinct not kicking in among Republicans? They're usually such selfish bastards, surely they can see the writing on the wall.

Carla Martin/Carlabela13

He really is the end! Stupid man. Gee! He makes my blood boil!

Jimmy Zed2

Has that maniac forgotten he's in the middle of a war he started?

SanMarcos 🍒🚤⚓ Meme thief11

US tariffs are paid in the US. If people can afford the nicer European cars, they'll probably pay the tariffs. Then it becomes a US problem

Lasse10

Buycott products made in USA. John Deere tractors and others just to hit them with 25% tarrifs!! Fuck USA👎

VineWeevil-Fella8

Let the yanks drive around in their homemade, overpriced, pieces of shit cars. We will keep our well made European cars for ourselves!

Thosmas5

I bought my kitchen stove because it was Made In Mexico. No low-grade Made In America crap for me! After it started deteriorating prematurely I realized it was "assembled" in Mexico from all American made parts! Are those EU cars MANUFACTURED in U$A, or merely ASSEMBLED in U$A?

Sudden Storm5

EU NATO members should stop buying US weapons and tax the US tech companies.

HalfaBubbleOff 💙💛🇺🇸4

Higher prices for vehicles certainly helps working familie’s affordability. /s

Julianne Wingate4

May these scary days.......................END, SOON !

Chief Joe3

He can no longer play with tariffs he’s full of shit

"Tiger" John2

Any wonder the world is searching for new places to do buisness with. Trump governs with policies of economic suicide even China is seeming a better bet now for some allies and I don't blame them! How can you do trade with a country that changes its agreements every time the wind changes direction!

Sunnieskye2

Wonder were he thinks (🤣) the metals and plastics used in cars will come from? We’re being cut off all the way around.

brendanl2011.bsky.social2

It is well past time for the EU "bazooka" Match all his tariffs, and boost Digital Services Tax. And a voluntary citizens boycott of US goods and services would help.

danharrington.bsky.social13

So what's his authority to go back to slapping tariffs on things without Congressional authorization again?

Benjamin Algera11

“charged to the European Union” 🤦‍♂️

Mash5

I’ll have to delay my car purchase again due to this Orange MFer.

Martin Gardner5

Funny, I thought Trump violated the deal in February with his "global tariffs".

nakallc.bsky.social3

There are no auto plants under construction in the US.

Morgan3

I hope the EU bans the tRump family, administration, and businesses in response. Anyone carrying an image of him in their passport should be immediately banned as well.

marissayoung.bsky.social2

I thought the tariffs were struck down. What is going on?

Holly OutnAbout2

The only true statement in his entire post is that we’ve never seen anything like this in the United States.

Holli Winters2

He keeps saying there are many new auto plants being built in the US but everything I see is that they may be five at the most.

gra3742.bsky.social2

Now, that's going to help tanked approval rates

Old Glory Robot Insurance2

oh no, BMW 7 series are going to be more expensive, oh how sad.

listentoshaft.bsky.social12

America no longer respects the trade deals it commits to. Its word and signature are worthless.

rayinrichmond.bsky.social11

Didn't scotus say that he COULDN'T do that? 🤔

michellebudz.bsky.social10

How is he still getting away with this?

maplepoutine.bsky.social4

Dementia don threatening to raise tariffs on European cars has clearly forgotten he can’t raise tariffs indiscriminately beside the SCT slapped him down

Someone aptly posted how this is going to play out in Europe:

lesliead717.bsky.social3

sure. why not. let’s just run the economy in to the ground

HGMpr161. 🇵🇷🏴 Ⓐ ✊🏾3

The EU needs to tell the US to take a hike, then sign stronger trade deals with China. The US is an empire in decline.

LuluHoney3

Won't the EU just flip the bird at him, as SCOTUS ruled his tariffs illegal?

I Love This Post2

I thought the tariffs were illegal. It’s interesting how he loves the Supreme Court when they approve Jim Crow laws, but he hates them when they call his tariffs illegal. I guess he will get away with this too

searchingfor.bsky.social2

Ignoring the court’s order, I see.

Danny Greveson2

Raise my anus you orange fat prick

bbside.bsky.social2

FFS Congress needs to put their pants back on. Things are bad enough already 😡.

maxpenfold.bsky.social2

Absolutely. The man’s word is worthless.

Curt Milam3

Almost all European makes are built in the USA now.

Kaerick2

At this point, countries should simply reply with matching tariffs and not even bother with meeting Trump officials over it. Make it clear that the negotiation is we will match whatever tariff you place on us for the duration your tariff exists. Trump's already screwed the US as a trade partner.
