Are you buying American?

It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on, we should ALL be trying to buy American.

As a construction material contractor, I didn't realize how much of our material was made
overseas. Last week, after the Tariffs went into effect, the very next day manufacturers
levied Tarfiff surcharges on us. Most of them are between 25 - 35%.

We have told them all, OK, we will buy American. We have already opened new accounts
with manufacturers, and reactivated old accounts.

The sad thing is, I believe many on the left will NOT buy American, because they hate
Trump far more than they love this country.

Hate be the one to bring truth to your reality DogMan, but Jeep and Ram are considered the cheapest and most unsafe vehicles on the road today.

It was only last Friday that Stellantis (which is the maker of Ram and Jeep), was the first and only US automaker so far to layoff employees, which was announced 3 days ago with the layoff of 900 from Stellantis. If those vehicles were any good, they'd be selling and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

@swirlie 🤣 I have been actually driving them, I think I know better.

@DogMan there is a large percentage of jeep and ram parts made elsewhere. And i believe some of the vehicles...renegade foe example, that are not made here at all.

Well, as evidenced by your mindless right-wing MAGA rhetoric in this thread, I would say that you actually don't know better, even if you were driving them.
