This is not a joke—

President Trump wants to impose a total ban on the imports of German luxury cars, according to a new report from CNBC and German magazine WirtschaftsWoche.

Several U.S. and European diplomats told the news outlets that Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron about his plans last month during a state visit.

Trump reportedly told Macron that he would maintain the ban until no Mercedes-Benz cars are seen on Fifth Avenue in New York.

—except maybe it is, but how does that question even come about?

Oh.

Right.

This is #WhatTheyVotedFor.

Even still, that is no less unacceptable than it is unsatisfactory. If this is what they voted for, then they are well beyond havin’ some ’splainin’ to do.

Hell, havin’ some ’splainin’ to do was back sometime around a health care vote. Trump supporters have been ranging profane territory since August last, at least.
