If you’re running a car company and have the opportunity to dramatically increase your margins, you are going to take it.

I asked him, previously, if a $10,000 tariff on imported cars would cause domestic car prices to rise, he said no, because competition.

I then showed him GM made about $900 per car profit and said I guess they'd be glad to just boost output, keeping the same profit per car. I think he ran away without responding.

Looks like he ran away again after you caught him at his latest inconsistency. But not before, once again, lashing out.

We would love the government to impose a tariff on our international competitors so we could also increase our prices and earn huge bonuses from the increased profitability. We wouldn't hesitate simply because we know ALL of our domestic competitors would do the same.

Initially a complete embargo on imported autos would cause prices to go up dramatically. But every factory in the USA has excess capacity to some extent. In the auto industry there is a lot of excess capacity. So after the initial shock more shifts are added and domestic production increases and prices go down. Correct?
