Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Trump’s kind of right. We should make smaller “kei-cars” here. Imagine if you could buy a $15k-$20k EV here, like Japan’s best-selling Sakura.
Smaller cars, smaller batteries, lower costs, less mining, more mobility. Better road partners for bikes & buses.
