We are buying a new camper next week for many of the reasons you pointed out. I have the vibe from the dealer they're a little nervous about what's to come.

Your line, “…automakers don’t want to make the White House angry” pretty much summarizes what is wrong with this total situation. Businesses in fear of a mob boss.

I began reporting in 1989. Never in my career have I so consistently dealt with sources from both sides of the political aisle who fear speaking. It’s an unsettling pattern. I used to report on sources who moved to the US from oppressive countries and feared free speech.

Such a perfect, almost wry framing of daily life for all American businesses, federal workers, scholars, universities and the rest of us: "an uncertain landscape where the government releases new information every single day."

Well-reported and constructed scoop from primary sources. Your well-earned access is valuable for readers.
