    The US was never the car capital of the world, unless you are referring to our lack of trains and public transportation.

    ZERO car manufacturers are moving their factories from overseas to the US. There are a few smaller ones that are still in start up phase or already had a factory here. But no one is building a new factory and shutting down anything overseas.

      Well, Hyundai was, until ICE viscerally demonstrated what a stupid idea that was!

        The Hyundai plant in Georgia was first starting to be built in 2022. Meaning the plans were made before that. Meaning Trumps fucking tariffs have nothing to do with its construction.

          I understand that; I was “yes, and”-ing you by making the opposite point about how the ICE raid stopped the construction.

          Trump’s fascist policies can’t bring prosperity to the US, but they sure as fuck can drive it away!

      We kinda were during WW2, but that has more to do with everyone else having to focus on things like tanks and their factories being blown up. This is also why basically every country has a Jeep and M3 Truck derivative.
