Title: Ford loses billions to tariffs
Post by Armchair_Politician on Feb 18^th, 2026 at 4:50am

So much for Trump claiming (wrongly) that countries upon which the tariffs are imposed pay them. Here's proof positive (as if any were needed) that is not the case. Trump's tariffs are literally costing automotive manufacturers billions of dollars...

Does not matter. In another 8 to 10 years America will no longer have a vehicle manufacturing base. I know I will never buy another America made car ever again with the absolute garbage Ford and GM have put out over the decades.

I once worked at a car dealership that sold Dodge Ram "trucks" in Victoria. I'd never buy one. They had one that was there for months waiting on parts, trying to fix it, and so on. They aren't built for our conditions, and neither are Jeep, which may be why they aren't selling them here anymore - people weren't buying enough of them.
