This is a drop in the bucket compared to how much international auto companies have been investing here for decades but itβs still a nice bump.
.@POTUS: I am thrilled to announce a massive auto manufacturing investment in the Great State of Georgia.
Audi has just committed to invest $4.25 BILLION in Macon β to begin construction next month on a massive plant that will produce 200,000 cars per year.
In primary/caucus contests when Trump first ran, GOP voters preferred someone other than Trump until he was viewed as the inevitable nominee and others dropped out. Republicans preferred "someone else" but those candidates killed each other and split the vote and Trump was nominated. I realize this may be common knowledge.

The economic legacy of the last two years in a single chart. Americans hate tariffs.
Hereβs a chart for the GOP Reagan deniers. 3 biggest wins since 1980 were:
1980 (Reagan)
1984 (Reagan)
1988 (GHW Bush running on Reaganβs record)
1992 and 1996 percentages are a bit glitchy due to Perot third-party candidacies.
I know. βThat was a long time ago, we just need MORE tariffs.β π€¦ββοΈ

My naive optimism: the stupidity of this administration might taint tariffs for a generation. That could make the whole episode net positive
Just such a fun chart here from @greg_ip. If only we could tease out some meaning. Ah, well, nevertheless. π€£

One of many things my old Senator, @SamuelBrownback, was right about: "Mr. Chairman, members, we are a Nation made prosperous in significant part by the toil of immigrants. America is a Nation of immigrants who, energized by liberty and resources, have helped catapult this Nation into the rank of the best and the brightest of nations. We can be proud of this legacy regarding the extraordinary contribution of immigrants." govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRGβ¦
"Some come to the United States because
of political or religious persecution, and by their brave
commitment to larger principles, they continue to renew our fierce love of freedom and justice. However, most immigrants came and continue to come primarily in search of economic opportunities, striving to make a better life for themselves and for their families. In short, we are a more prosperous, more free, more tolerant, and a better Nation because of the immigrants among us."
