Let me get this story straight: Retired school teacher already driving a 2023 big ass SUV and doing major remodeling in her home decides to buys a brand new BMW SUV and go into over $40K in car debt because of Trump's tariffs?

How much does she think maintaining a BMW is going to cost her, specially with the tariffs?

Americans need to be studied by science. I can only imagine the wave of consumer and business defaults when the recession really hits.
