Trump made the company that makes the cereal. He also made the company that makes the box.


The prize was maybe made by someone else, but was priced the lowest, so as to save the cereal company money.


Trump is a genious.


And he likes Maseratis. (Trump magazine, Trump Taj Mahal, 2006 issue.)

Ford is credited with making cars cheap that middle class could afford by modernizing the assembly line. They didn't invent anything

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 to April 7, 1947) was an American automobile manufacturer who created the Ford Model T car in 1908 and went on to develop the assembly line mode of production, which revolutionized the industry. As a result, Ford sold millions of cars and became a world-famous company head.

This is what Henry Ford is famous for.

I lived in Japan for a few years. I think American car manufacturers would have a very hard time competing with Japanese car manufacturers in their home territory because the Japanese car manufacturers offer so, so many options on their cars. You can really customize your cars over there. But BMW and Mercedes have done it. One thing to consider is that yearly registration fees are based on engine size, so you have to make small, efficient engines.

Even as top 20, they still sold only about 10K units a year in Japan. They offer the Renegade, Compass, and Wrangler.

Not all models are made here, so what you suggest would reduce choice.

All that he is saying is if japan sells cars and motorcycles in the united states and we charge no tarrifs or put crazy restrictions on them, then why the hell is Japan putting crazy restrictions and tarrifs on out cars and motorcycles. Trump being a business man doesn't thank this is fair and neither do I. Level the playing field or else, nice to have a president that stands up for us.
