Lower prices by 3K - AND make safer. Sounds great - so how is this going to happen? Response = deflection to whine, or empty words of greatest president ever - but never an explanation of how 1 + 2 = 3. Aka blowing smoke from his hind side.

Given the higher cost of materials and supplies due to his tariffs, the only way $3k can be cut from price, is to cut wages.

Yea Trump! (/s) So much winning (/s) = So Much Gaslighting.
