To deal with a bully you punch him in the nose, the Carney can't do that, his elbows are in the way.

Stellantis left the sinking ship for Illinois when the compass broke and took their elbows with them.

And that bully kicks then you in the nuts. The entire world has realized what Trump is and all are walkig on eggshells.

Point with Stelanits, boycott them and all other Chrysler products. The plant was closed anyway and was to re-open to make the Compass. The Compass is a money losing vehicle, the plant would have closed anyway.

Stelantis itself was probably going to declare bankruptcy. "Stellantis reported a 70% drop in net profits in 2024 to 5.5 billion euro ($5.76 billion), as well as a 64% decline in adjusted operating income, the automaker announced in its 2024 financial results Feb. 26"

No it is not. A few bites but not the discussion.

Then you get up and kick them back.

China did that and got a better deal with the Americans than they were originally offering

The fact of the matter is bullies do not like when people hit back and very quickly they become tired of it

We are America's largest trading partner. If we go full tilt and run ads all across America about how this is trump's fault the people will turn on trump and that's not something he's interested in.

And we have more tools at our disposal than tariffs. We could put our own export tariffs on oil and electricity that would drive their prices through the roof. We can begin doing deals with Chinese car manufacturers or European car manufacturers or expand our arrangements with Japanese manufacturers to absolutely replace the car industry in Canada and eliminate that market. We buy more American cars than anybody else on the planet so they will care about that

So you're just 100% wrong. We can kick hard enough to do real damage and that's not a fight trump is interested in. He's interested in being a bully
