Trump never campaigned on capitalism. He campaigned on picking economic winners and losers and economic populism. He and Pence also took money out o the pockets of Indiana taxpayers and gave it to Carrier. It’s called crony capitalism, has been around for a while, and Trump will kick it into high gear by using his…

Or do they? Tariffs should encourage customers to by home built. If they do so there is nothing passed onto them. People who chose do buy foreign anyway maybe can afford it anyway (though I’m not advocating protectionism at all. I think it hurts more people than it helps people).

Or it’s because they consistently finish near the bottom of every quality study you see.

What I imagine trying to live with a GT3 on a daily basis would be like

It’s likely a second project car, which is Bavarian. So Bavarian is probably referencing BMW. I think you’re reading way too much into this guy’s random tweets.

Please, oh fucking please, let reality imitate fiction.
