Trump's billionaire cabinet member Wilbur Ross demonstrates how in touch he is with little people

Link to tweet

Wilbur Ross on @CNBC now: "There’s about 1 ton of steel in a car. The price of a ton of steel is $700 or so, so 25% on that would be one half of 1% price increase on the typical $35000 car. So it’s no big deal."

I really do want to throttle these fuckers.

Ross and Icahn. This CNBC piece is a repeat of a similar piece he did on the same Station in 2016 followed by Carl Ichan spewing his crap.
