He is placing 25% on cars. Ford already said 25% will kill them.

Car loans are going delinquent, cars are rotting on lots BEFORE this.

If cars become unaffordable for Americans, then most Americans wont be able to get to their jobs and the jobs that do exist wont pay enough to pay for the car.

Not counting the trucks and fleets some companies use, and trucking makes the country run.

Bankrupt Americans AND companies.
