  • Trump: I will be imposing, as of October 1st, 2025, a 25% tariff on all "heavy" (big!) trucks made in other parts of the world

    From @realDonaldTrump

    [truth_social_post=115267382531822964;0]In order to protect our Great Heavy Truck Manufacturers from unfair outside competition, I will be imposing, as of October 1st, 2025, a 25% Tariff on all “Heavy (Big!) Trucks” made in other parts of the World. Therefore, our Great Large Truck Company Manufacturers, such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack Trucks, and others, will be protected from the onslaught of outside interruptions. We need our Truckers to be financially healthy and strong, for many reasons, but above all else, for National Security purposes![/truth_social_post]

Amazing how many Trump haters are still making comments that what his administration continues to do won't work... Maybe most of them are bots.
“Still making comments”. We are early days into this new economic/social program. Besides Executive orders that aren’t worth the ink and trade agreements that are still being inked we need to see implementation.
Undoubtedly, the future trajection of the US and by extension the world has been altered, but there’s quite a few miles to reach the destination you appear to have comfortably found.

Well, I don’t buy heavy trucks, but as someone who knows a lot about home improvement, these are pretty irrelevant. The absolute crap people buy in cabinets, vanities, and furniture from most stores isn’t worth buying. You can hire a local carpenter to build you exactly what you want, that’s actually quality and well made. Plenty of good US made furniture. Those prices are completely unaffected by this. No reason to buy Chinese made trash.
Well, OBVIOUSLY kitchen cabinet manufacturing done in other countries presents a national security emergency.....how didn't other administrations realize this?!?

Well Trump can have his cheaper greenback if the Japanese divest themselves of some US treasuries.

Basically, this inflicts more damage on Japan (Hino and Isuzu).
