Sounds like the US needs to target it with tariffs quick. Surely it will be better for our economy to ensure the survival of a couple zombie automakers than it would be to bring accessible EVs to all.

You jest but one reason Chinese EVs aren’t available here is that there’s a 100% tariff on them. One hundred percent! Enacted under Biden, no less.

Our egg prices are also high because we block Mexican and Canadian imports. Trump continues a multi-decade trend of taxing consumers to subsidise business owners.

The US is the largest egg producer on the planet. We export a huge amount of them(#2, behind Netherlands I think). We don't need eggs to be imported from Mexico or Canada.

The consumers looking at egg prices 3x that of the ones across the border would disagree that they don't need eggs to be imported.

I suppose he’ll deliver on his campaign promise when our egg exports are tariffed!
