This Fox News Clip Showing What The Price Of A Truck Will Be After Tariffs Is Going Viral
Donald Trump has implemented 25% tariffs on most goods from Canada and Mexico.
Those tariffs could lead to price increases on everything from vegetables, fruit, beef, beer, and spirits to automobiles and car parts (amongst other things).
Well, Fox went to a car dealership in Pennsylvania and showed what those tariffs mean for the price of trucks, and that clip is going viral.
Here it is:
“It could be ground zero for the impact of tariffs,” reporter Jeff Flock says. “This Dodge Ram truck — $80,000 — instantly became $100,000.”
Yes, a $100,000 truck.
Why the price increase? Well, in another clip found on Media Matters, the reporter shows a Jeep Compass that is made in Mexico.
What will happen to the price of a Jeep Compass? The sticker price is $37,000, but with the tariffs, it could rise to $43,000.
In the clip, the car dealership owner says, “Yeah, you know, we’re afraid. It’s going to have a gigantic impact on our business.”
Soooo, that’s cars. Now, let’s look at some viral reactions.
We have Lawrence O’Donnell who said, “The Trump $100,000 pickup truck hit the market today thanks to Trump tariffs.”
@RobGeorge said, “What’s $20K between friends?”
And, lastly, we have @VoiceOfOBrien with: “Move over, eggs.”
Thoughts, feelings, concerns?
