>And how we are going to deal with the price increase of American cars is by having cars actually made in America to avoid tariffs

Except those cars are reliant on imported materials that are tariffed. Not to mention new factories and the like to replace more expensive foreign imports would take years to create, leaving us to pay the price in the meantime.

The key problem with Trump's tariffs is they're so indiscriminate they make everything more expensive while having no answer for how anything gets cheaper. And if the counterpoint is that wages would increase, the problem is the general price increase even by US-based producers would outpace it due to the price of imported materials and the effects this would have on exports due to retaliatory tariffs.
