It is still satirical, but the idiot author thinks she is being serious.
Navarro, Trump’s trade guy, mentioned the other day that the aluminum used in a six pack of beer will raise the cost one and a half-cents per six pack. Big deal.
A $330 million Boeing 777 Dreamliner will cost an extra $25,000.
A $25,000 - $30,000 U.S. manufactured auto or SUV will cost an additional $125.
MSN in its first sentence uses the literary device aka sweeping generalization without even naming one “business leader” . MSN is a swill mill.
MSN had a poll on its homepage which was pulled quickly.
“Do you support the Tariff’s?” 57% Yes

15 freaking years ago, or so, Tom Clancy, in one of his novels, introduced me to the concept of Temporal Reciprocity, related to tarrifs. Simple concept, even idiots can understand it... Just apply exactly the same tarrifs on the offending country for the same or similar products. No thinking required whatsoever.
It's mind-boggling that neither Trump, nor any of his dozens of "expert advisors," thought to mention the concept until the last couple of days!!
The moron self-serving objectors from whatever source can't open their greedy hypocritical yaps!
The most outrageous items worldwide, is the export of U.S. branded manufactured vehicles.
All European cars or other vehicles will ***t bricks!! WTF???
I couldn’t care less about what a journalists says, reports, thinks or even if they suddenly all stop breathing.
I find this so funny. If you do the math according to our sec. of commerce, it turns out for a break even on the average price of a car at $35K, the average increase due to the tariff is going to be a whopping $175.
And according to CBS, when you consider a worker claiming married status and two withholding allowances, with gross annual income of $75,000 paid biweekly, net take home pay would increase by about $61 per pay period, or approximately $1,590 per year. That means with the “dreaded” Trump tax cuts, he will make over 3 times the increase of the car due to the tariff in a year, or once every four months.
I don’t see the problem. And the other 8 months he’ll be able to afford a whole lot more gas.

Yeah, foreigners and traitors don’t like fair trade. Too bad. We don’t care.
This a media/globalist talking point. The dishonest fake news have done no research and have adopted the globalist talking points.
How nice it is to have a President who does what is best for the country instead of the globalists.
Very refreshing.
Those industries suck. We need steel.
If I were a US “industry” that had sold out America to re-tooling and manufacturing overseas, I’d be pissed too.
The amount steel tariffs would raise the price of a new car? $30-$40.
The cries of Doom and Gloom also echoed when Trump won the election, how reminiscent.........
So you’re saying this is *not* from the Onion?
Every other country in the world that makes steel has an import tariff. Every one of them.
Especially the Fake News™ industry.
If the author’s LinkedIn page is sccurate, she’s a dual citizen, US and Mexico. And a real flaming lefty.
Nuff said, eh?
