Conventional post-1970 Republicans. With the populists faction in charge, they're all for tariffs. But the populist faction sure is big on libertarian-tinged traditional values and restrictive on foreign trade.

Not anymore. Republicans will do whatever Trump tells them to do. Republicans have complete control and they aren't going to give that up for anything. If that means Toyotas and Hondas become luxury cars, so be it.
Parties have switched. 10-12 years ago, some local republicans were pro-small business and advocated for really minor issues that would take small-medium sized business out from regulations. Big business republicans and democratic pro-labor successfully figured out how to cooperate and crushed the local republicans. Seems like that is happening at national level, too.
But lately, lots of new media and new technology companies are engaging with the democrats, so big business republicans are in retreat.

65 billion deficit is a security threat... sorry, if you are too blind to see that... and you cannot separate Toyota from ALL the other steel/aluminum users out there... if they don't IMPORT their steel/aluminum products (made in the US) then they have NOTHING to worry about the tariffs... idiots...
The price of domestic steel and aluminum will go up after tariffs (which are really TAXES) are imposed on imported steel and aluminum. Domestic producers won’t have competition from imports so they will jack up their prices.
The cost of manufacturing those automobiles in the US will skyrocket.
The ones who are going to lose in all of this are the American consumers, as usual.
I did. My Acura MDX was built in Lincoln, Alabama.
