President Donald Trump said his new auto tariffs are permanent and shrugged off concerns that they will cause carmakers to raise prices.

In an interview with NBC News on Saturday, he was asked about a recent Wall Street Journal report that said he warned auto CEOs not to hike prices while discussing tariffs with them.

"No, I never said that. I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars," Trump replied.

He added, "I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty."

Trump later said if prices on foreign cars go up, then consumers will buy American cars.

He also confirmed the tariffs are here to stay, saying, “Absolutely, they’re permanent, sure. The world has been ripping off the United States for the last 40 years and more. And all we’re doing is being fair, and frankly, I’m being very generous."

EXCERPT

So what American made cars would those be?

So a sitting president doesn't care about prices increases on already budget strained Americans...nice

Not only will car prices spike, but parts and auto insurance as well.

Doubtful voters are going to be ok with rising prices even if the president himself is

I would agree. If the Dems win big enough in 2026 they could even override his veto, take tariffs out of his hands completely.

He promised to lower inflation ... that was mentioned many times in the campaign.

More tariffs (i.e., taxes) on everything is exactly the wrong way to do that ...

A never Trumper thread.  Nice to see the enemy all in one place jerking off.  Carry on boys.

So did Trump say what was reported or not?  Easy question.

What bothers me most is "the government" makes it where some startup company can not produce basic no frills cars/trucks (manual transmission, manual windows) that are not so dang expensive. Seems to me there would be a market for that. So many regulations that it has priced a new car out of my reach...
