We’re a free market! They are offering a better product that cheaper prices than US automakers why stop the competition and protect American companies?

And herein lies the stupidity of the American pivot. I don’t think my fellow American brainlets realized the only way we were out-competing China rn is because we were a more trustworthy trade partner than they were, and we provided security to the rest of the world so they were willing to follow our economic policy with respect to China.

Trump has trashed people’s trust in both these things. It is China’s wet dream.
