If you think Trump will bring kei cars to the US, you might be as dumb as he is
Donald Trump is reportedly attempting to change US regulations to bring Japanese kei cars to the US, despite announcing a fuel efficiency rollback that contradicts this effort. The move is seen as unserious, given the simultaneous push for larger, less efficient vehicles.
Multiple outlets are reporting on Donald Trump’s apparent effort to change US regulations to bring kei cars to the US, but there’s little reason to think that effort will be serious.
Convicted felon Donald Trump has directed former reality TV contestant Sean Duffy to examine how kei cars, a category of Japanese microcars, could be brought to the US, calling them “cute.”
The statement was made yesterday at the announcement of a fuel efficiency rollback, which will raise your fuel costs by $23 billion and is explicitly intended to make cars bigger and less efficient.
And so, simply by reading the preceding two sentences, you should understand how unserious this effort is. At the same moment that a new proposal was announced to reduce fuel efficiency targets by a third, the same person who is trying to increase your fuel costs and make cars bigger and less efficient apparently also wants tiny efficient vehicles in the US. How does that make sense?
