Trump Takes on the Impossible: Selling Tiny Cars to Americans

While he is ferried around in an armored Cadillac believed to weigh 10 tons and nicknamed “the beast,” Trump expressed delight on Wednesday with Japan’s pint-sized kei cars, deeming them “really cute” and “really beautiful,” in language that was surprisingly effusive and not a little unnerving.
