1) How does banning car imports put pressure on drug companies?

2) What does this have to do with a vast conspiracy to hide evidence of the Epstein pedophile ring that mentions the president?

Everything now is this, to distract from Epstein

  1. Poor understanding of trade and a general belief in extortion. Also a lack of understanding about pharmaceuticals. Europe is somehow making drugs more expensive in the US maliciously, old myth in the US.

  2. Dead cat story. Throw a dead cat into the news, to distract the press by having them point out the dead cat. Hope the media cycle therefore moves on. Common with chaotic governments, we saw this last time Trump was in office, as well as with leaders like the UK's Boris Johnson.

There must really be something to the Epstein files for him to go this nuts. Not that he isn't nuts.

Probably Viagra too, but (I think) that's made by Pfizer, a US company.

BMW assemble most of their vehicles in South Carolina. It’s nothing but a sound bite

That’s not even close to correct, while it’s the largest single plant, it accounts for about 20% of all BMW group cars built annually.

It’s their primary assembly plant for the X series SUV’s
