he's obviously going to use tariffs as a lever, for example take japan. half the cars we buy are japanese but the japanese government makes it extremely difficult for anybody to sell into the market. and there is a market, in kyoto actually, american cars are seen as somewhat of a status symbol and they are very common in that area. hokkaido too, they like the big american trucks which they will pay incredible sums for, because they're so rare and difficult to get. so there is a market and for example in this case, trump will roll in there, throw some fish food into a lake, then tell them "here's how it is, i love japan so much. great people. beautiful country. and if you make it as easy for us to sell our cars to you, as it is for you to sell to us... no tariff on cars!" he will do this all over the world and everything will get better and cheaper. the whole reason toyota even has us factories is because in the olden days they had to make cars here to avoid tariffs!
