It’s clear the Trump administration’s tariff dance has left the automotive industry doing the twist in a financial tango. Kelleher’s prediction that trucks could leap like a rabbit in a moonlight is nothing short of a Houdini act with numbers. $20,000? More like a ‘Rambo’ price hike! The Ram’s ‘free trade’ with Mexico? Sounds more like a love story that’s hit a dead end. ‘Build more in the U.S.?’ Honda’s Civic production move to Mexico was probably just a cover-up for their ‘Escape to the Border’ plan. The Ram 1500, the ‘second most American-made’ pickup? It’s like saying a ‘fake American’ is actually real, but in a pickup. Anderson Economic Group’s prediction is like a ‘bald man’s hair’ joke – it’s just there for show. And the manufacturers? They’re masters at the ‘sticker shock’ illusion act, making the ‘destination and handling charges’ more mysterious than a Shakespearean play. Bravo, Trump tariffs, you’ve turned ‘Buy American’ into ‘Buy More Expensive American’!
