This guy has been screwed over anf he is back, no hold barred, ready to bring justice where there has been injustice. Not revenge...this is justice.

51 signers sought to prevent his election treasonously, folks wrote books with lies to interfere with an election process....justice is they lose their jobs, their access to truth and security and lobbying jobs.

When one is pissed but calm, one gets a singular clarity and ruthlrss efficiency, a blessing from God for being calm and absolutely determined.

Nobody benefits from a trade war. The resulting depression would be blamed on Trump.

An already economically reeling Germany is screwed. Mercedes, Volkswagen, Beemer. Good luck in China picking up the slack for them. The Chinese will cut their efforts there to the quick and stymie their efforts to compete against Chinese auto producers

Toyota is the second largest auto producer in the US with over 70% of the cars sold here assembled here. They are not tariffed on their production here. Germany,on the other hand, only assembles 28% of their cars sold here in the US.They will be tariffed on exports to the US. What do you think will happen? Germany will be supplanted by US producers who are not tariffed. Either Germany moves more production to the US or Toyota and US car manufacturers increase production here to replace Germany’s dwindling share of the market. Americans will not pay more for cars so long as it is not a foreign produced German car. Trump is in the driver’s seat on this one. Germany will fold and announce opening assembly plants in the US
