If any of you are invested heavily in the stock market , don't cross any bridges or stand by any windows.
It might actually BE a good day for off roading.
Here in NJ that means taking the Parkway instead of the Turnpike. 🤣

Anyone who thinks this is just a bargaining chip to negotiate better deals should think long and hard about what happens when China and/or the EU calls his bluff. 80% of the crap on Amazon is going to double in price. Consumer spending dies, and so does the economy.

Fun fact: 50% of US imports are used for domestic manufacturing. So even Made in the USA, prices will go up.

$2.5 Trillion today....*poof*

The people who are like 'F the stock market' are like cats. They have no idea that there's this whole world around them to which they are oblivious, but fully dependent on for their well-being.

It's too early to say what will happen. Today stocks got crushed, but remember stocks were up nearly 50% over the last 2 years. There is speculation about negotiations reducing tariff rates. It will take at least 2 years for production of imports to move onshore, perhaps more. Some pundits say revenue from tariffs are fundamental to extending 2017 tax cuts and managing the budget deficit. However, estimates of tariff revenue by financial analysts are about half of what the administration is predicting.

I don't see serious price increases on the Wrangler because I suspect deals will be worked out with Mexico and Canada on parts. Ford just announced employee pricing for anyone wanting to jump ship. On the other hand, there are now dealer premiums on the Land Cruiser which had advertised discounts a month ago.

I see you are giving your usual contributions to the discussion. Care to have an adult conversation?
We had two agreements with Canada and Mexico the first one was NAFTA and that was replaced by USMCA.
Not sure why those agreements were not suffice for the current administration.
I could go on but this is a JEEP forum.

I'll tell you a secret: we don't buy your products because its close to impossible to ship, and believe me, I tried.

Meanwhile getting something from China is as easy as buying local.
Good keep buying their crap….
