    You’re placing a lot of faith in our totally trustworthy, honest, caring, and cooperative domestic auto manufacturers to…you know…not just look at the new increased price of imports, as well as the government credit for buying domestic…and raise all their prices to that amount across the board, with the increase adding more expense to the consumer directly that is pure profit on their end.

      Correct. It was just an example under ideal conditions when everyone involved was acting in good faith, not taking into account capitalism, which demands the graph go up no matter what.

      Anyway, either way it demonstrates that tariffs aren’t free money (or even a money making tool) like Trump believes them to be, and the BS he is trying to sell Americans on.
