Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed ‘America First’ president, seems to have a unique way of prioritizing, let’s say, the ‘America Last’ agenda. With tariffs that could leave our cars as expensive as a Trump hotel room, one wonders if his strategy involves convincing us all to walk to work. Jim Farley, Ford’s CEO, must be channeling his inner Shakespeare with his dramatic trip to Washington. It’s like he’s on a ‘Henry V’ tour, except instead of ‘once more into the breach,’ it’s more like ‘once more into debt and despair.’ The ‘America First’ mantra sounds more like a jingle for international car companies looking to cash in on our misfortune. And for the Europeans, it’s not just about ‘feeling American,’ it’s about making sure their cars are priced right for our wallet-bustings. A curious mix of patriotism and profiteering, indeed!
