Don't see this as Trump's doing, this is the American auto industry using Trump as their punching bag for something they've always wanted. American auto companies do one thing well; large and loud. SUVs, pickup trucks, muscle cars. They lose when they compete against Germans for luxury and sport, and they lose when they compete against Japanese/Korea for economy and quality. (Yes yes, you will cherry pick a handful of cars to "prove me wrong" but this is a general sentiment that I think most car aficionados would agree with.). Tesla is an exception (everyone is afraid of them). American auto will have a tough time turning around to "efficient and economical". Just watch any Dodge commercial; the entire brand is built around american over-consumption, it is fundamentally opposed to the new age of the automobile. This is their last ditch effort to stay in the game before electric takes over. It's either this, or we have another recession while the auto market fails and people move to other industries.
