QOTD: Will Trump Exempt Some Parts From Tariffs?
Earlier today, we brought you Bloomberg's report that automakers are looking to exempt some low-cost parts from President Trump's proposed tariffs.

The automakers are doing this, of course, because even cars that are built in the U.S. that would be exempt from the tariffs aimed at fully-built vehicles would be subject to tariffs on parts. And so, in order to built cars that are completely tariff-free, automakers need to get exemptions on small parts.
And, of course, need to be assembled here in the U.S., with the engines and transmissions also assembled here.
Anyway, I ask of you, and I realize this is fraught with the danger of bad comments -- can automakers get at least this concession from the Trump Administration? Or not?
Please play nice below, the banhammer is ready.
With that in mind, sound off below.
