Toyota, Honda oppose U.S. House electric vehicle tax plan:
Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) and Honda Motor Co (7267.T) on Saturday sharply criticized a proposal by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives to give union-made electric vehicles in the United States an additional $4,500 tax incentive.
Toyota said in a statement that the plan unveiled late Friday discriminates "against American autoworkers based on their choice not to unionize."
The bill, set to be voted on Tuesday by the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee as part of a proposed $3.5 trillion spending bill, would benefit Detroit's Big Three automakers, which have union-represented auto plants. read more
The proposal, estimated to cost $33 billion to $34 billion over 10 years, would boost to up to $12,500 the maximum tax credit for electric vehicles, up from the current $7,500. The $12,500 figure includes a $500 credit for using U.S.-produced batteries.

In what universe is Trump not part of "The Establishment"? Joe Biden is certainly a member, as is pretty much any high ranked member of the Fed and State Govs. You can also include pretty much anyone considered to be part of the 0.1% wealthy.
Don't delude yourself into thinking that Trump was somehow not an Establishment candidate.
The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams.

If you want to have that broad a concept of the Establishment, then sure. Everyone who runs for an elected park attendant is part of the Establishment. Everyone who runs a business on their local town's main drag is part of the Establishment.
But if we're talking the governing establishment? They accepted him for one reason, and one reason only: a large number of really angry voters plugged their nose, forced their jaws apart with a stick, and crammed him down their gullet while tears leaked from the corners of their eyes. They couldn't kick him out with undermining the whole myth of their legitimacy - not that they didn't try, within the squirmy wriggles that their wriggleroom afforded them.
No wonder Hillary had a breakdown when she didn't get elected; she was supposed to win.

LOL
"No wonder Hillary had a breakdown when she didn't get elected; she was supposed to win."
buttery males buttery males! Don't get excited now, it is just a meme for "but her emails"
Such projection, and the primary source was an asshole from infowars? Just cracks me up you're still screeching about Hillary Rodham Clinton while your fat conman is busy having a yearlong meltdown about being the biggest loser.
"They couldn't kick him out with undermining the whole myth of their legitimacy"
Funny how just 4+ years ago everything was great, the deep state vanquished, the government "establishment" unable to contain the mighty power of Trump! lololol then suddenly they are totally in control AFTER 4 years of your uber manchild.
More like the Republican shithead Comey threw Clinton under the bus. Hillary would have won if the leftwing wasn't so apathetic due to Democrat corruption. Trump lost 2020 because he was an unpopular fascist pig, not for any other reason.
