So much for all the hype/ propaganda against our wonderful president. Obviously the Chinese dont care about the fair reciprocal auto trade tariffs since they are still buying American cars and more of them.
When will the mainstream news get it that their hate-filled propaganda against our duly elected president won't accomplish anything? The election is long over with, time to move on...
Trump is still a Loser (the people vote in 2016 was against him). Now he wants to start a a tariff war against China? It is too late because the U.S. had a trade deficit? for years, thanks to Walmart and other large companies wo buy millions of Chinese products and sell them cheaper than U.S. products, yet make huge profits. He will lose again!
Buick China has a new EV to sell: the Buick Enspire. Read about it here at GM Authority.
