I am not sure what I find more annoying stupid in the #TomLowrey post ...
1) That for one moment he believes that the #USA is putting 100% tariffs on Chinese #BEV because of a perceived security risk, rather than a threat to the jobs of the #USA auto workers who make up a large block of support for the #Democrats that they can't afford to lose at this crucial time;

3) that this is clearly designed to put doubt in the minds of potential buyers of #BatteryElectricVehicles which provides support to the #fossilFuel lobby that donates to the morally bankrupt #LiberalParty & the #LNP -
