‘Incredibly Incompetent Clown’ Trump Ridiculed After Putting Major Policy Move Into Reverse

President Donald Trump’s pause on new tariffs for U.S. automakers drew ire and mockery on social media.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday announced a one-month exemption for the industry on imports from Mexico and Canada.

It came amid fears the 25% tax hike could totally sink U.S. vehicle manufacturers who for years have relied on cross-border cooperation. A car dealer suggested as much this week on Fox Business, explaining how a truck was now on his lot indefinitely after soaring in price from $80,000 to $100,000.

Conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime critic of Trump, responded to his temporary tariff backtrack, saying: “What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.”

Washington Post opinion columnist Catherine Rampell talked about the possible long-term implications of Trump’s moves, writing, “I’m sure the auto industry welcomes this temporary reprieve ― but again, how can businesses possibly make investment/hiring decisions in this environment?”

Others agreed:

When it comes to the US auto industry Trump had better step back and take a good look at what his Tariffs can do to Ford and GM.
Ford for one transports auto parts across the borders as many as 1 or 2 times before they get put on to the cars and trucks they make.
And these tariffs could drive up the cost of an auto as much if not more then 6,000 dollars, slowing sales ( people do not have that kind of money and if you finance a loan it could run that price up over 10,000 dollars, causing slower sales and large lay offs in the auto industry and supporting industries, )
And again for every one auto worker put to work it puts something like 8 other people to work in supporting industries and then there is the effect on other industries like stores and housing, food and more.
Tariffs as high as Trump is talking could do grave harm to the country.

The big three pressured him, it’s why he reversed his decision.
 
Is this how you run a country? I am applying tariffs against our largest trading partners. Oops, it is causing blowback. Maybe I will delay them. Maybe not. This is an economy run on executive whims. Trump does not know what he is doing, so a mess is in our future.
Tariffs are negotiated by pros. Not a golfer in chief with no knowledge. They are serious business.

Some times I wonder if he is trying to destroy not only the economy but the whole USA with his BS.
Ever since he got back in he has been acting like a King / Dictator, ruling by P O s

He wants all the power he can get, and will use it to his benefit. He needs immunity. If he survives until 2028, he will have to run again to keep from facing justice for his crime wave from his first term. He knows what he did.

Trump IS acting like a king/ dictator and the MAGA can't see it.

They see it. They just won't stand up to it. They actually celebrate it. They worship Trump more than their fake dedication to god. MAGAts are weak, insecure, stupid people who are afraid of their own shadows and believe that Fat Fuck will save and protect them.
