So. . . you're saying that, despite the administration's admission of its error, it's (all together now). . . NOT HIS FAAAAAAULT!

Pussy.
Of course it is not the Trump regime's fault. Trump et al are never responsible for anything negative, unpopular, ill advised or destrctive that they do.
It is tragic to see that kind of fanatical Trumpism in CDA. CDA is better than that kind of lunacy., and insane "hero worship". To CDN Trumpers........feel free to move to HIS country. In return we would be happy to welcome the vast number of smart non Trumpers from the USA. CDA is changing focus, objectives, and has a vast supply of resources to continue to create an outstanding FREE country.....where people are respected and cherished more than MONEY, POWER and GREED. The USA is under accelerated decline under the current regime.

Good for the Protestors. About time, the populations began to express their disdain for the destructive conduct of the Trump/Musk demolition team. They have left many peple unemployed, reduced important services for the people so limited that they can't handle the work load now.
This has been totally reckless, idiotic, careless, poor planned. (not really planned at all). And done in irresponsible haste with little or no thought.

Hering the Trump crew defend these policies, just reinforces that non thinking avid / blind support for Trump.........(as if they are terrified of being attacked by Trump and his vile language .After all loyalty to Donald is more important than freedom to think for themselves and critique the regime's behavior.

Can't recognize that place to the south of CDA anymore .It has lost it's core values, principles, and adpted one con man's ideology of lust for power , wealth, and world domination.

No. False. Its the 30% in taxes and tariffs.

Standard Import Duties for Vehicles

For vehicles imported to Germany from non-EU countries like the United States, the standard import duty structure includes:

Basic Import Duty: 10% of the vehicle's declared value
Value Added Tax (VAT): 19% calculated on the combined total of the vehicle's value, shipping costs, and the 10% import duty
This means that for a vehicle valued at €30,000 with €1,500 in shipping costs, you would pay:

Import Duty: €30,000 × 10% = €3,000
VAT: (€30,000 + €1,500 + €3,000) × 19% = €6,555
Total import taxes: €9,555

$80Bworth of German vehicle's are sold in the US annually.

And yet Europeans with money buy American cars and trucks. One of the wife's shirt tail relatives even bought a new F150, kept it here long enough to nix all the extra taxes, and had it shipped to Germany.

Sure. I watch a guy on youtube that has a whole bunch of Euro type cars, but his 'work' vehicle is a Ford currently.

But one of the reasons why they won't get American made cars - well trucks specifically - is because depending on where you are, the roads aren't big enough for them. They're size restricted. So while Germany might have roads to handle the size of an F150, England doesn't. Just depends where you are.

Of course, what was said above is true, too.

Bullshit. Commercial trucks have no issues. Do you think commercial deliveries are made on bicycle?

Want the real reason?

Why is the F-150 so expensive in Europe compared to the US?

Transferring a model to another market involves many additional costs. For example, the F-150 costs around 40% more here in Europe than the same model in the US. The additional costs are mainly due to export costs in the US, customs and import costs in Europe (19%) and registration and adaptation of the vehicle to the requirements of each country. In addition, the importer is responsible for all warranties and possible recalls, which also entails costs. In return, you as an owner receive all the guarantees that come with buying a vehicle from a European dealer, an authorized dealer and an official service network

I've decided that taking over Canada and Greenland is a good idea, with certain caveats. . .

1. Screw this "make Canada a state" crap. Make Canada a territory, with a governor appointed by Washington.

2. As for Greenland, who cares? Give them an easy message. . . piss us off and we'll kill you. Otherwise. let 'em do as they please.

Why?

Unless I can get into a spot easily, I avoid 'parking' my own car, thanks.
That I understand. I have a crewcab for going places, and hauling stuff. Try to never take it into town. Use the Prius if there is just the 2 of us, or my old Outlander if the dog comes along.
