I'm not sure how much more of President Trump's job protection American autoworkers can stand.

Trump, who made a big deal about protecting manufacturing jobs during his presidential bid, has spent his presidency pushing steel and auto tariffs. And the auto industry is feeling the pain of Trump's assistance.

Consider the following grim headlines from the past few weeks alone:

Trump metals tariffs will cost Ford $1 billion in profits, CEO says

Trump's tariffs have already cost Ford $1B; now it's planning layoffs

Auto Industry Is ‘Freaking Out’ Over the Prospect of Tariffs on Cars

The rewrite of NAFTA has helped ease the industry’s anxiety and Ford's problems go beyond the impact of tariffs, but it's clear the fallout from Trump's tariffs are going to cause a lot of sleepless nights ahead for folks employed in the auto industry and its supply chain.

Mr. Gutwrench strikes again.
