I'm a little confused I think. BYD isn't, as far as I know, "from Tesla and Volvo"... and I'm not clear what you're saying about Geely... or Nio... or why there seems to be some reason to expect what sounds like Chinese made Teslas to... dominate the market?

But, just to be clear... once the state national guard (technically what the amendment refers to) is deployed in a manner that leads to conflict with federal "forces", there's liable to be a state of de facto civil war. (The dudes who think k it should be a privatized militia love this shit though.)

Without 100% tariff, be sure to also look at BYD- No way as a US-ian to know much details, but even I'm still curious. (For curiosity sake in my case.)

Nice... let's do economic warfare on Europe now too! It's no longer just about punishing countries that do socialism - it's personal now? (Wonder how long it will take him to think of trying to apply tariffs to things Tom Walz tries to buy in the grocery store, too?)
