We should considar our own car plants in lieu of this development. It is no secret that our governments try their best to keep American auto manufacturing in Canada. While our wages may be slightly higher, the offset used to be the cost of power. Need I say more about the over the top measures Ontario has taken in that regard for absolutely zero measurable results. Talk about business suicide. 
As for Trump and German auto makers, I do think most American consumers would understand higher prices for foreign vehicles when they look around at small town America. Those who certainly would not understand is the affluent establishment. People such as Ben Stein who assert with total arrogance America was built on free trade. I suggest Mr. Stein does a learning purge and review what built Detroit. It wasn't free trade. It was people going to work and being able to afford raising families. 
And then there is China....god bless you President Trump-you are the only man on earth who can help us.
