Trump says he ‘couldn’t care less’ if auto prices rise because of his tariffs​

He expressed confidence that the policy would prompt more Americans to buy cars and trucks made in the U.S.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he “couldn’t care less” if car prices spike because of his 25 percent tariffs on auto imports, saying the levies will prompt more people to buy American cars.

“I couldn’t care less. I hope [foreign automakers] raise their prices, because if they do, people are going to buy American-made cars. We have plenty,” he said in the interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker that aired Saturday.

We do not have plenty. American cars get parts from many suppliers. Trump knows so little and talks so much.

Trump didn't decide to be born a complete asshole.
He had no choice to be anything else.

I prefer to focus my seething hatred on the 77 million plus irredeemable fuckwits who voted for him.
The universe should manifest a real hell with real eternal damnation just for them.

They've disproven my theory that eternal damnation could not be "earned" in a short, finite lifetime.
